COLON HYDROTHERAPY, NUTRITION & NATUROPATHY

Colonic Hydrotherapy or irrigation is a method of de-toxifying the body to help in its natural healing process. Warm, filtered water is introduced into the colon to assist the elimination of stored faecal matter, gas, mucus and toxic substances including bad bacteria, parasites and yeast organisms. Colonics is an extension of an enema which has been used as a curative tool for thousands of years stretching back to ancient Egypt. The difference is that with Colonics you can clean the whole of the Colon rather than a small part.

We all have our own unique medical history – usually a mix of accidents, surgery, and diseases. Most of us will experience health problems at some time in our lives. These can be chronic/acute or both. Many people coming for their first colon hydrotherapy session present with;

​

• Constipation

• Diarrhoea

• Halitosis, Flatulence,

• IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome),

• SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) Candida,

• Skin problems – Acne, Eczema and Psoriasis

• Bloating

• Allergies

• Fatigue

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Lethargy

 

These symptoms can arise from a myriad of causes. Usually they develop over time. Many are diet and stress related. Some can even be genetically inherited – like an extra-long colon – which can lead to problems with gut motility.

 

 

The enormous benefits of a healthy diet combined with a gut flora prolific in good bacteria is finally being recognized by the mainstream medical profession as being pivotal for our vitality and well being mentally and physically. The relationship between our gut/brain health as well as every other organ in the body is being scientifically proven. This is the age of natural healing. We can support a Naturopathic approach to healing by taking three simple steps. 1. De tox your intestinal tract with Colon Hydrotherapy and Deep Intestinal Cleanses. 2. Make appropriate dietary changes. 3 Introduce a wide spectrum of positive bacteria into the gut.

 

Treatment. 

 

During the first treatment a detailed case history is taken followed by dietary recommendations to help your individual gut restore its natural balance and function. These will take into account food intolerances as well as your Blood Group. An explanation of the procedure proceeds the colonic itself which can take between 30 to 45 minutes. During this time warm filtered water is gently introduced into the colon via the rectum whilst the use of special techniques including ultra-sonic massage, acupressure and reflexology points stimulate the release of toxins and stored matter.

​

Normally a minimum of three if you have never had colonics before is needed to adequately clean the whole of the large intestine. However this is a variable factor depending on age, dietary habits, lifestyle and presenting symptoms.

​

Yes. The water is introduced at low level pressure (lower than what can be obtained through a gravity machine) so there is no danger of bowel perforation. All equipment used is in sterile packs and disposed of after each treatment. Implants. These include wide spectrum High Strength Probiotic Infusions, Anti Parasitic, Anti Candida, Coffee and Super Greens.

The Association and Register of Colon Hydrotherapists
The association was founded in 1987 by Dr Milo Siewart, Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Chiropractic, who, single-handedly, revived and modernised this therapy in the UK. Since that time ARCH has been the lead organization and is registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council and General Naturopathic Council. ARCH members are recognized as Naturopathic Colon Hydrotherapists.

Product recommendations. Your therapist will only recommend products she genuinely feels will help your digestive system to function at its best. For instance good bacteria which is so important for a healthy gut is sourced to supply high potency, human strain, live bacteria shown to be stable, effective in the gut and acid resistant. These can be administered at the end of the treatment as an implant/infusion or bought to be taken afterwards.
