Colon hydrotherapy is an alternative health care method that gradually and gently cleanses the colon by flushing the large intestines with warm water. A special system approved by the Food and Drug Administration is used to carry out the procedure.

Colon hydrotherapy is a procedure that consists of gentle infusion of water in and out of the colon, reaching all four to five feet, improving a person’s overall health and sense of well being. But you should know that colon hydrotherapy is not a cure, or some miraculous form of medicine, just a valuable procedure used to help our body heal from a wide range of health conditions that have resulted from improper diet and elimination habits. Simply put, colon hydrotherapy is not a treatment, it’s a preventative measure.

A colon hydrotherapy session is equal to 20-30 normal bowel movements. During this procedure, the patient lies on a treatment table and inserts a small speculum into the rectum. Then the therapist begins to monitor the temperature of the water infused into and out of the large intestine, as well as the pressure within, by way of the inbuilt precision equipment. The main advantage of colon hydrotherapy is that it removes all the waste that has been stuck in it for years without causing any stress to the individual, the process is clean, simple and efficient.

When colon hydrotherapy is done, you will feel your body completely rejuvenated, as a large part of the toxins will be removed and quite soon after that, the colon will return to its normal, natural shape and function ability. Another benefit of the procedure is that it restores the normal pH balance to the body; it also stimulates the immune system, allows free passage of nutrients into the blood, prevents toxic absorption into healthy mucosa and strengthens natural muscular contractions in the colon as well.

The body was not designed for colonics. It is too sensitive of an area that is not made to take any sort of water pressure like that. You can seriously tear your colon and do much more harm than good.

If you are feeling “plugged up” and want to cleanse, there are other much safer and more effective ways of going about it.

I can’t imagine why anyone would elect this type of treatment…

I have had colon hydrotherapy before and find it very useful. http://www.colonhealth.net/colon_hydrotherapy/chthrapy.htm
You can find some video on YouTube if you want to see what a session is like. Here are the reasons I use it.
Although, good fiber, good bacteria, and healthy living will do the same thing over time, I like a good kick start especially when my living hasn’t been so healthy. CH is a good way to clear the deck and start fresh. It helps to quickly clear out accumulated waste, gas, bacteria (good and bad so you need to put the good back when you have one done http://www.natren.com/healthy_trinity.asp and http://www.newchapter.com/products/all-flora ) and yeast. I don’t know if you feel “cleaner” when done but certainly “lighter” and I have found my thinking is less cloudy, my spirit feels lighter and my outlook just generally improves. Once the colonic is done I’m sure to eat light for the next day or two with plenty of raw fruits and vegi’s. I use colonics as a mini cleanse about 4-5 times a year.

As a side note…an enema is a completely different thing and I would NEVER use tap water. All professional colon hydrotherapists will use filtered water and if you try anything like an enema at home you should do the same.

There’s a man who was once offered similar treatment, but found an oriental treatment worked far better. He documented his journey on video, and can be found by searching for “one man, one jar”.

It will leave you cleaner, but with a dirty mind.

it’s called a tap water enema, and you will perhaps have a lot of cramping, and it will throw off your electrolyte balance and if you are not constipated, I would not recommend it. If you are constipated, do it only under the direction of a physician. No, you will not feel cleaner.

They stick a water hose up your ass and turn it full blast to wash out your shit.

Just eat more fiber.
