The Colon

The colon, or large intestine, is an important part of the digestive system; some 5 feet in length and 2.5 inches in diameter, situated at the end of the alimentary canal, it completes the digestive process and handles our food waste and much other body waste. It is normally populated by billions of friendly bacteria which assist in detoxifying waste, synthesise certain vitamins and help us guard against infection. These same bacteria make up some 70% of the dry weight of our faecal waste. The colon structure is of smooth muscle and it is broadly divided into 3 segments; the caecum and ascending colon into which food waste enters in a fluid state through the ileo-caecal valve, the transverse colon where water, minerals and vitamins are re-absorbed and the descending colon where mucus is secreted to coat the faeces prior to defecation through the rectum and anus.

In health, bowel transit time from eating to defecation is 24 hours or less and bowel movement is at least once daily.  In disease, poor digestion, yeast overgrowth, spastic colon, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation and diarrhoea are usually accompanied by auto-intoxication, literally, "self-poisoning' - the re-absorption of soluble wastes into the bloodstream - which places a heavy burden upon the other eliminative organs of the body, the kidneys, the skin and the lungs.

Chronic constipation can lead to further direct complications: diverticulitis, haemorrhoids, fissures, atonicity, spasticity, prolapsis, colitis and even bowel cancer as well as chronic toxic conditions in the rest of the body, like the skin (e.g. acne and eczema), the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the liver.

A Healthy Colon

Correct function of the colon is a necessity for health, for truly 'disease can begin in the colon'.  It has been said that colon malfunction can lead to 80% of all diseased states.

Is any preparation required?

All new clients are advised to:

(1) eat meals regularly in the days before they come to the Clinic for their first treatment;

(2) drink at least 2 litres (8 full glasses) of water every day before coming in for the first time;

(3) make sure that they do NOT arrive at the Clinic hungry or immediately after a heavy meal.    

What is Colon

Hydrotherapy?

Colon Hydrotherapy (Colonic Irrigation) is an internal bath that helps cleanse the colon of poisons, gas, accumulated faecal matter and mucus deposits.  Such techniques were first recorded in 1500 BC and have been used in traditional and naturopathic medicine since that time.  Using disposable or sterilised equipment, filtered water is gently introduced into the rectum which progressively softens and expels faecal matter and compacted deposits.

Colon Hydrotherapy is much more effective than an enema, since the whole colon is treated and water is not purposely retained.  It is best used as a complementary technique to other therapies.  By improving elimination, response to dietary, homoeopathic, herbal, manipulative and other therapies is markedly improved.
