Colon hydrotherapy, also referred to as "colonic" or "colonic irrigation", is a safe, effective method of removing waste from the large intestine. By
introducing a small amount of water into the colon, the waste is
softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation through natural
peristalsis. This process is repeated several times during a session. Use of water as a method of cleansing was first noted by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Devices for mechanically introducing water into the rectum were developed in Europe as early as the 10th and 11th Century. Today's sophisticated technology makes this health practice both safe and sanitary.
A healthy colon that functions properly is critical to a healthy body. When the colon is not functioning properly, we know it, we feel it, yet we more often than not ignore the significance. Waste that is not thoroughly eliminated on a daily basis builds layer upon layer, giving off toxins that places the rest of the body on overload - an open invitation to illness and disease. Ever wonder how toxic you may be? Click here to take a quiz that can help you assess your exposure to toxins.
Colon Hydrotherapy:
- Is safe and gentle
- Not only benefits the colon but all of the organs and systems in the body
- Improves digestion and absorption of nutrients
- Stimulates the immune system
- Cleanses the bloodstream
- Helps to restore muscle tone and normal peristalsis in the bowel
Why do People Choose to Have Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon Hydrotherapy may be beneficial for individuals who are experiencing symptoms such as:
- Constipation
- Indigestion
- Headaches
- Lower back pain
- Fatigue or low energy
- Hemorroids
- Diarrhea
- Gas or bloating
- Occasional nausea
- Mood swings
- Leaky gut syndrome
- Irritable bowel syndrome
Colon Hydrotherapy is a way and means of assisting the body’s efforts to maintain a state of balance or equilibrium through the elimination of toxic waste. Cleansing, hydrating and re-toning a poorly functioning colon may help reduce the risk of illness and ‘dis-ease’.
How Many Sessions are Needed?
That depends on you, your symptoms and goals. Generally, no less than a series of three consecutive sessions is recommended to ensure initial cleansing and hydration benefits. The additional number of sessions will vary depending on individual needs. Anyone looking for general detoxification would benefit from a total of 5-6 sessions over a 3-4 week period. Once the initial series is complete, a maintenance schedule of 1 session per month is recommended in order to continue all of the great benefits you have given yourself with the initial series. Some people find repeating a series of sessions on a quarterly basis to be highly beneficial. A maintenance plan can help to keep toxic load to a minimum and decrease the burden on other organs of elimination such as your liver and kidneys. Your individualized appointment schedule is best determined during your initial session when your history is reviewed and your goals are discussed. Colon hydrotherapy is best utilized as an integral part of an overall wellness program.

"...I find that colon therapy is a useful adjunct to detoxification in a variety of illnesses in which the accumulation of toxins plays a major or contributory role in a person's ill health. Washing the lining of the bowel is just as sensible as maintaining cleanliness in other parts of ourselves especially since the modern living environment presents a tendency for the accumulation of toxins, increased constipation and increased concentration of residue in the bowel because of a shortage of roughage in the diet." Thomas A. Dorman, M.D., Paracelsus Clinic, Townsend Letter, July 2006
What is Photon Sound Beam Therapy?
The Photon Sound Beam utilizes sound and light to nourish the body and re-establish ideal energy states of the body. It devitalizes pathogens and breaks up blockages in the lymphatic system. A clogged or sluggish lymphatic system prevents the body from circulating vital fluids and eliminating toxic wastes. In order to be healthy, it is essential to keep the energy and fluids moving so that the body's natural immune response may operate at it's full healing capacity. Much like plants need sunlight for photosynthesis to occur, our bodies need photobiotic light and energy to nourish our cells.

This valuable light and sound therapy can be beneficial to:
- stimulate and strengthen the immune system
