What is Colonhydro-
therapy?
Colonhydrotherapy is one of the oldest forms of natural healing. The Egyptians were among the first to employ it.
There is a mucus membrane that lines the last 6 feet of the intestinal tract of the large colon. This can become toxic, becasue of bad digestion. Disease begins in the colon, and to be in optimum health, the colon must be functioning normally.
Detoxification
The toxic and impacted colon must be soaked and saturated thoroughly in water for gradual and comfortable removal of the waste. Colonhydrotherapy, combined with a deep tissue-cleansing programme is effective in removing the body of toxins and restoring health and vitality.
It can take months or years for the problem to be corrected that took years to develop. You can only develop proper elimination, if you also rebuild damaged tissues with a balanced wholefood diet.

A Colonhydro-
therapy Session
- Information about your medical history, lifestyle and health concerns will be taken.
- The session will be explained and you will be asked to sign informed consent for the session.
- Before lying on the couch, you will be asked to empty your bladder to ensure your comfort during the treatment.
- Modesty is maintained at all times. You will be asked to remove your clothes from the waist down. When lying on the couch, you will be covered with a towel.
- Treatment starts when you are lying on your left side on the treatment couch, with your bottom exposed briefly.
- A small sterile, disposable speculum will be inserted into your rectum for about 15 cm. On insertion this feels strange and slightly cold, due to the lubricant used. It is not painful and is quick. After a few minutes of lying on your side, you will be asked to turn onto your back with your knees raised. Towels continue to cover you. On the ‘outside’ part of the speculum, there is a small tube that allows warm filtered water to pass into you, using the gravity system, and a larger waste tube that carries the faeces and debris away in a closed system. There is therefore no smell or the unseemly panic associated with enemas and getting to the toilet in time.
- The therapist them asks permission to massage your tummy.
- The treatment isn’t painful, but you will experience a strange sensation as the water flows into your colon and the release of ‘a sense of pressure’ when the faeces flow out. People are often concerned that the speculum will come out or that there will be a mess on the bed, but that doesn’t happen, as the speculum is secured.
- In the waste tube, there is a clear section | viewing tube which you and the therapist watches to be able to comment on the faeces, etc.
- Your treatment will usually take 1 hour and your therapist will continue to let you know what is going on and you will be able to chat or ask questions. Everything that is done will be with your informed consent.
- At the end of the treatment you will be asked to go and sit on the toilet for as long as it takes you to feel comfortable. Sometimes you will pass a little more or sometimes just water.
- You will then get dressed and return to the therapist who will chat about your colon and future treatments or health advice.
- It is advisable to relax or lie down for 30 minutes after the treatment. Most people then return to work or go about their normal routine.
