Each colon hydrotherapy session lasts approximately 50 minutes and you should allow at least one hour per office visit. Your first visit will be slightly longer as we will go over your health questionaire together and your goals for cleansing. Initially, a series of at least three separate therapy sessions may be recommended, to achieve the maximum cleansing benefit. This helps to eliminate fecal matter which may have been lodged in the colon for weeks, months, or even years, and to keep the client properly hydrated. Others facing more serious health challenges (or opportunities) may require more sessions.
Colon hydrotherapy cleanses the entire large intestine and the therapeutic benefits are much greater than those achieved with an enema. Enema cleansing cleanses the rectum and lower sigmoid area. Over-the-counter suppositories stimulate expulsion of the contents of the rectum, but contribute to dehydration which may exacerbate a constipated condition.
During a typical colon hydrotherapy session, about 25 to 35 gallons of water will be transported into and out of the colon. Using a combination of abdominal massage (if consented), abdominal reflexology, foot reflexology, manual lymphatic drainage, breathing instruction and relaxation techniques I am often able to promote elimination of a volume of toxic waste, which would not otherwise be possible through individual efforts.
Just one colon hydrotherapy session may be equivalent to having 20 or
30 regular bowel movements. Eliminations during subsequent therapy
sessions can be even more substantial as older, hardened, impacted feces
are dislodged from the colon walls.
I will will carefully
evaluate your progress during your session to determine if additional
sessions would be beneficial. After a therapy session, many people
report a feeling of heightened energy, an increased sense of well-being
and renewed vitality. Certainly your colon will be cleaner... Many
clients state they experience easier eliminations and their overall
health status feels better.
