Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is Colonic Hydrotherapy?

Colonic Hydrotherapy is a holistic treatment that involves the gentle introduction of warm, purified water into the colon to facilitate internal cleansing. This process, sometimes referred to as a colonic, colon therapy, or colonic irrigation, is performed using a single-use, disposable speculum and involves no discomfort.

Can I undergo Colonic Hydrotherapy during my menstrual cycle?

Absolutely, it is perfectly fine to undergo Colonic Hydrotherapy during your menstrual period. In fact, it's an ideal time as your body is already in a natural cleansing mode. It's advisable to use internal protection like a tampon during the session.

What happens if I can't insert the tube myself during the treatment?

If you are unable to insert the tube yourself, you will have 15 minutes from the start of the treatment to get it positioned correctly. I am authorized to guide you but not to insert it for you. After 15 minutes, for your safety and comfort, your appointment will be forfeited, and you will receive a refund for half the cost of the appointment.

How does Colonic Hydrotherapy differ from an enema?

Unlike an enema, which cleans only the lower part of the colon and involves a single water infusion, Colonic Hydrotherapy cleanses the entire length of the colon. Administered by a trained therapist, it uses a special machine where waste material exits the body through a tube directly into the sewage system, ensuring a hygienic and odor-free procedure.

How do I prepare for my first Colonic Hydrotherapy session?

To ensure the best results from your Colonic Hydrotherapy session, it's recommended to avoid eating for 2-3 hours and refrain from drinking liquids, including water, for 1-2 hours before your appointment. Hydrating well the day before and avoiding foods that cause gas will also help in preparing your body for the treatment.

What are the contraindications for Colonic Hydrotherapy?

Certain health conditions might not be suitable for Colonic Hydrotherapy. These include, but are not limited to, Crohn’s Disease, intestinal tumors, severe hemorrhoids, recent surgeries, certain heart conditions, and first trimester pregnancy. It's always best to consult your physician if you have any health concerns.
