WHAT IS THE COLON?
This is the end portion of the digestive tract, about 5 feet long and 2-3 inches wide. Its major functions are to eliminate waste and to conserve water. It also synthesizes vitamins "K" and "B".
If your body doesn't expel waste and toxins properly, they re-enter the bloodstream and settle elsewhere in organs, muscles and tissues.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF COLON TOXICITY?
Headaches, back aches, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, body odor, bad breath, blemished skin, irritability, confusion, difficulty concentrating, overweight etc.
Poisons and toxins that can't be eliminated re-enter in the bloodstream through the colon walls and make us ill.
A toxic colon will also impair its ability to assimilate minerals and to synthesize valuable nutrients such as vitamins "K" and "B".
Finally, an impacted colon with hardened walls will inhibit muscular contraction and cause constipation.
ARE COLONICS PAINFUL?
Most people enjoy colonics. Some may experience cramping (similar to menstrual cramping) as the colon muscles contract. These episodes, if they do occur, are brief and easily tolerated.
ARE COLONICS HABITS FORMING?
NO, Colon hydrotherapy creates a physical stimulus of your colon muscles that allows natural evacuation to take place. You are building neurological connections to your muscles and restoring the colon's natural function by strengthening the peristalsis. It is like a toning workout for your colon!
WHAT ARE THE CONTRAINDICATIONS?
In certain cases you should not get a colon therapy session. Some examples are: heart, liver and kidney insufficiencies, uncontrolled hypertension, severe anemia, recent surgery, intestinal bleeding, severe hemorroids, pregnancy, certain medications etc.
WILL I GET CONSTIPATION AFTERWARDS?
You may experience a slight delay in bowel movements following your colonic session. If this lasts, it is a sign of colon weakness and an indication that your colon requires strengthening, healing and further cleansing.
WHAT ABOUT MY ELECTROLYTE AND INTESTINAL FLORA BALANCE?
Similar to weeding out your garden, colonics will improve the ability of the good bacteria to flourish and inhibit the growth of the bad bacteria.
Taking probiotics after a colonic is a good way to enhance the intestinal flora. Also, taking minerals like you would do after a sweat (ie. exercise) is a good way to replenish the electrolytes you may have lost.
WHAT ABOUT COLONIC AND WEIGHT LOSS ?
The first step in any weight loss, body shaping or anti-aging program should be cleansing. Colon cleansing is one of the most important steps - and usually the most overlooked - when attempting to lose weight and flatten the waistline.
Colon hydotherapy assist your weight loss in a lots of different ways:
- ♡ Our fat cells can accumulate numerous types of toxins. When we lose weight, we release those toxins back into the blood stream. These chemicals hamper fat loss by decreasing thyroid (T3 conversion) and reducing thermogenesis. In decreasing toxins and their side effects, colonics play a major role in assisting with weight loss.
-♡ Colon hydrotherapy also support your diet and exercise effort by improving digestion and absorption of nutrients. We feel more satisfied by the food we eat and feel less cravings that are due to malabsorption, a common condition in overweight people.
WHAT ABOUT LAXATIVES AND ENEMAS?
Enemas are useful for emptying only the rectum and the lowest 8 to 12 inches of the colon whereas colonics can affect the entire 5 feet of your colon!
Laxatives are often irritative to the colon walls and may destroy the intestinal membrane. They also dehydrate you and are habit forming.
