What is colon hydrotherapy:
Colon Hydrotherapy, also know as colonics and colon irrigation, is
a method of cleansing the colon of accumulated fecal matter and
bacteria from the bowel. The colon is a muscle and colon
hydrotherapy helps to stimulate and exercise this muscle. A gentle
flow of warm purified water is introduced into the colon by the
Angel of Water® (FDA approved medical device open system colonic
device) featuring a sterile, disposable rectal nozzle and
state-of-the-art ultraviolet water filtration. This activates
peristaltic movement which stimulates peristalsis and hydrates.
• Colon hydrotherapy is a gentle process of putting water in the
colon for the purpose of softening and eliminating waste
• Colon hydrotherapy is a safe process for colon cleansing
• Colon hydrotherapy is an accepted prep for colonoscopy
The session is performed with the utmost concern in modesty for the
client. (It is beyond the scope of practice for the therapist to
insert or assist in inserting the nozzle into the rectum**) The
therapist will provide you with a sheet to cover yourself to
maintain your privacy. The Angel of Water® Colonic Device is
designed to be “self operating,” after the therapist instructs you
on the proper use of the device, and any questions you may have are
answered, you control the session. Many clients like to bring in a
book to read or listen to soft music or meditate during the
session.
Before Your Colonic:
The day before you colonic session drink plenty of water it works
best when you hydrate and eat light.
Do not eat for 2 hours before the colon hydrotherapy session. If
you have been constipated drinking herbal teas or taking OTC
Magnesium Citrate before the session is helpful to soften fecal
matter. Doing an enema at home to relieve constipation is also
helpful and will make session easier.
After your Colonic
Some good choices for foods after a session: soups, soft fruits, or
steamed vegetables, juicing or a smoothie. Avoid alcohol, meat,
dairy, hard to digest fruits and vegetables, beans, and sugary
items. Rest and relaxing is alway beneficial however you can return
to normal daily activities. It is recommended to not do strenuous
exercise after a session.
