The method to clean the colon is based on gravity. Filtered, neutralized and sterilized water at low pressure is introduced into the colon. The colon hydrotherapy process is constantly monitored while the entire colon, from the rectum to the blind gut is cleansed and rinsed.

It is a very safe method, conducted under safe conditions and it constitutes a natural solution to problems that can limit or even block the normal functions of the colon. The continuous in/outflow of water (hence the name colon hydrotherapy) at a comforting temperature stimulates a natural process whereby the colon starts to “massage” itself clean because of the counter pressure from the water. Because of this resistance and friction particles and small objects that have caked onto the colon wall can be loosened and dissolved. This in turn allows the body to absorb nutrients much faster and much more efficiently and this of course is beneficial to the overall well being of the human body.

The entire colon hydrotherapy is conducted using an open rinsing unit. This means that the water flowing in and the water flowing out, containing the toxins and waste products, flow next to each other. No unpleasant smells are created as these are all sucked away into the unit. Colon hydrotherapy can be divided into the following segments:

* You are explained what the intention is of the colon hydrotherapy and you are left alone for a few minutes to get comfortable on the rinsing unit.

* You remove your underclothing and lie down on the unit, while covering yourself with a sheet.

* You then insert a canula (in sterile packaging for unique use) into your rectum through which the water will then be introduced into your colon. The canula is less than a centimetre in diameter and you won’t feel a thing.

* Once you have done all that and made yourself comfortable you ring the bell.

* Then the therapist will explain to you how the colon hydrotherapy machine works and what the intention is.

* Once all is clear the therapist will leave the room and you can get started.

* As soon as you start to feel that your colon is starting to fill up with water (a slight feeling of pressure inside your belly) you push out the water.

* In the meantime new water is already flowing in, so the in and outflow run parallel to each other.

* When you start to get the hang of it, you allow more water to flow in so the colon is cleaned further and further up.

* If you prefer, the therapist can stay right there with you.

Side effects During the colon hydrotherapy process you may start to feel slightly cold, so we recommend you wear warm upper clothing and warm socks. Besides that the colon hydrotherapy center may be able to provide you with heat bags that can be placed on your stomach. This can prevent any cramps from building up. It is important to refrain from eating at least two hours prior to the colon hydrotherapy. Once the colon hydrotherapy has been completed you can resume eating normally again.

It is further recommended that the first time you undergo colon hydrotherapy to go for two treatments on subsequent days. This will stimulate the colon cleansing process properly. After years of slimy build up in the colon this is definitely the right way to go. The number of colon hydrotherapy treatments required for maintaining a clean colon depends on your general state of health and physical condition.
