What are Colonics?
Your colon is your MAIN organ of elimination. And, colonics are a method of cleansing that organ. Colonics, other wise known as colon hydrotherapy, are gaining more and more popularity for their benefits in ones overall health. One of the main reasons that people look in to colon hydrotherapy is for digestive discomfort. Even though this may be a starting point, many realize quickly that there are a whole host of benefits other than digestive relief.
Colon Hydrotherapy is most effective when coupled with dietary changes, supplementation, and other cleanses and detox programs.
Colon Hydrotherapy is a method of gently cleansing the large intestine or the colon. Because your colon is like any other muscle, the stronger the muscle, and the more open the channel, the more effective your sessions will be. One session is a beginning, but if you have any outstanding health issues or have never done colonics before, you are looking at a minimum of 12-15 sessions. Some individuals may require more.
You have to realize, you are trying to address YEARS of abuse. And one session will not reverse this damage. It is not just cleaning out that needs help, it is rebuilding and toning the muscle as well, and this does not happen in a 40 minute session. Be patient, as often times, individuals expectation of their first colonic, is more realistic of what happens on their 9th-12th session. Strengthening the colon is more like a journey rather than a destination.
The colon is approximately 5 feet in length and is separated from the small intestine by a one way valve. A colonic can NOT reach any other organ directly except the colon. It does although indirectly affect every single system in the body. Hence, the importance of addressing the colon any time you do a cleanse or make significant dietary changes is paramount. To directly cleanse the other organs within the digestive tract, you have to go orally.
During a session, you are not only cleansing the colon, you are exercising it and hydrating the body as well. It's like going to the gym for your colon. Many people are mislead in to thinking that just because you may see pretty pictures of a perfectly shaped colon, it doesn’t mean that’s how every colon is shaped. In fact, it’s unfortunate that the majority of colons are stretched out, prolapsed and have weak function. For example, picture a body that is worn out, little muscle mass, and an over all fatigued look. Now picture this body running and jumping and thriving in an active environment. So as this body will struggle to accomplish certain tasks, so does a weakened, stretched out colon that has been negatively affected by the years of abuse through diet, medications and lifestyle. As you continue with your sessions, you will not only strengthen the colon, but your sessions will get easier and easier. You will find that rather than dreading your sessions, you will start looking forward to them, as you will feel better when you leave then when you start. Your results are very much dependent on your preparation, beginning strength of the colon and diet and lifestyle. For an amazing article on how colon hydrotherapy can reshape the colon click HERE
There are 4 indicators that we go by in determining progress during your sessions.
1. You should have minimal to no discomfort during a colonic
2. You should release consistently throughout your 40. minutes session
3. You should leave feeling better than when you came
4. You should have regular bowel movements in between your sessions
It's very normal, for those who have struggled with regular bowel movements, not to have a bowel movement 1-5 days after a colonic. when you do a colonic, you are cleaning out everything that would have come out and more. This is now giving us a more accurate picture of the transit time. As your colon strengthens, and you add in certain nutritional's that are lacking, you should begin to have regular bowel movements.
