Cleanse the Colon

 

Breaks down toxic excrement so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Toxins built up over a long period are gently removed in a series of treatments. Your colon can begin to co-operate again as it was intended. In this sense, a colonic is a rejuvenation treatment.

Exercise the Colon Muscles

 

The build-up of toxins weakens the colon and impairs its functioning. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon improves peristalsis (muscular contraction) by which the colon naturally moves material. Having Colonics is like taking your colon to the gym.

Reshape the Colon

 

When problem conditions exist in the colon, they tend to alter its shape because the colon is a muscle and it will enlarge to the build up of toxins not being released. That in turn causes more problems. The gentle action of the water, coupled with massage techniques of the colon therapist, help to eliminate bulging pockets of poop and narrowed, spastic constrictions finally enabling the colon to resume its natural state.

 

Stimulated Reflex Points in the Colon

 

The colon is connected to every system and organ in the body by reflex points. The colonic stimulates these points thereby affecting the corresponding body parts in a beneficial way. Thus creating overall well-being and health in the body.

 

Hydration of the Whole Body

 

Water is absorbed into the body through the colon which increases the volume of blood. The circulation of the blood is increased, resulting in a greater bathing of the cells. This dilutes the toxins and flushes them out; relieving toxemia and uremia; and increasing elimination both through the kidneys, and the skin as well as the bowels. All this generally assists the cardiovascular and circulatory systems to be more efficient.

 

Benefits for other organs and the body

 

Compression of neighboring organs disappears or attenuates when volume reduces in the colon. Relaxing effect on organs above intestines such as the liver, heart, and lungs. Sensation of lightness may be experienced.

Reduces pressure in the intra-abdominal area which improves venous return from lower extremities and pelvic zone. Relaxes pressure on the hips and lumbar column and is beneficial to their mobility. Relaxes abdominal muscles from the action of water temperature and massage that accompany the colonic. Increases abdominal muscle tone due to reducing intestinal residues.

Stimulates peristaltic action of intestines restoring normal muscle tone and therefore removal of constipation. Potential to correct intestinal transit problems such as constipation and diarrhea without resorting to prescription drugs.

Sensation of well being due to the elimination of mucus, alimentary remainders not digested, gases and toxic bacteria. Relieves inflammation and edema due to elimination of irritating substances.

Expels parasites due to alternating water temperatures and complementary additives to colonic water such as garlic and other vermifuge (parasite killing) herbs. Decreases demineralization of body because it improves metabolism.

Relieves gynecological disorders such as cystitis and dysmenorrhea due to reduction of a prolapsed intestine. Reduces risk of complications after surgery because it reinforces natural immunity. We can suppose colon hydrotherapy improves functions of the large intestines, lymph and nervous system because a relation exists between them in the GI tract.

Reduces weight and slims due to activating elimination. Creates an increase in mental capacity and rejuvenation since it decreases the degenerative process, normal or accelerated, by removing toxic substances that affect biological aging.

 

Comments from Clients

 

 

Colonic Hydrotherapy or Colonic Irrigation is a way of cleansing the colon. Colonic irrigation gently removes waste from the colon in a safe and pain-free manner, by gently flushing the large intestine.

The therapist will take a detailed case study, and explain how the procedure will be conducted. The therapist will provide a gown for the client to wear during the procedure. Treatment is administered while the client lies on a specially designed treatment table. Warm purified water is introduced into the colon via the rectum using a speculum. The water is not retained as with an enema, but allowed to drain away with any faecal matter through a second port in the speculum. The colonic therapy will normally take between 45-60 minutes. Advice will be given on the number of sessions that might be required.

During the colon treatment itself, you will be relaxing on a treatment couch in complete comfort, and covered from the waist down at all times. Comfort and privacy is of utmost importance and this is always respected

 

When Christine Favager asked me to try colonics I felt apprehensive. I had read about the health benefits and feeling of well being after Colonic Hhydrotherapy and had been tempted to give it a try, however, I somehow never got round to it.
Knowing that Christine is a true professional with a wealth of experience currently in her 16th year of Colonic Hdrtherapy and the longest serving therapist in the North West, I decided it was time to pluck up the courage and let her do what she does best and visited her practice in Atherton, near Bolton (she has another in Banks, Southport).

Christine, a member of ARCH, (The Association and Register of Colonic Hydro Therapists), advises two treatments each one about seven to ten days apart. Unlike some other forms of Colonic Hydrotherapy where the procedure is done using a machine Christine does it herself using massage. Specially filtered warm water and herbs and coffee. She stays with you throughout he treatment and has a gentle. caring way of looking after you, talking you through each stage of the procedure.

The session took about an hour, and I afterwards I felt very relaxed and comfortable. Mentioned my surprise to find there was hardly any waste produced and Christine explained this is common on the first visit as this is when the large intestine is worked on to loosen any waste that has been in there for anywhere up to ten years.
The second visit is when the colon is completely cleansed as I found out later.

After my first visit I felt that my stomach had shrunk, the bloatedness I often suffer from had gone and I felt great. After the second time l felt superb! I certainly felt he benefits and won't think twice about going for further sessions. Colonics is said to help migraines, stress, anxiety, depression, lethargy, irritable bowel, stomach upsets, candidiasis and various skin problems like acne and psoriases.
