Is Colon Hydrotherapy right for you?
Colon hydrotherapy is the irrigation of the colon with purified water using disposable nozzles and hygienic equipment in a comfortable setting in order to evacuate the contents of the bowel. Colon hydrotherapy is often referred to as colonics, high colonics, colon therapy or colon irrigation. It is used as an alternative to oral purgatives prior to radiological and endoscopic examinations or when otherwise medically indicated.
Throughout history the practice of colon cleansing has been used to meet the medical needs of people everywhere. In fact, the age-old practice of colon cleansing was recorded as early as 1500 B.C. in an Egyptian document called the “Ebers Papyrus”.
What type of colon hydrotherapy system is used?
The Angel of Water CM-1 system offers a very simple, comfortable and hygienic means to irrigate the colon when medically indicated, such as before a radiological or endoscopic examination. It is a state-of-the-art, open-style colon hydrotherapy system ergonomically designed for comfort and is inviting to both fully mobile and mobile-impaired patients. The system’s tank holds 8 gallons of water. The tempered water is treated with both ultraviolet and carbon filtration and set to the colon’s internal body temperature for comfort.
Description of a colon hydrotherapy session
The colon hydrotherapist will greet you and accompany you to the colon hydrotherapy room. The colon hydrotherapist will leave the room while you remove your lower garments. You’ll then recline on the system and gently insert a single-use, well-lubricated, pencil-sized nozzle 1-2 inches into the rectum and drape a cover cloth sheet over the lower half of your body to maintain modesty and dignity.
When you are ready, you’ll press the call button to page the colon hydrotherapist, who will then come back into the room and start the session. Simply relax and listen to soothing music as the water flows into and out of the colon, evacuating its contents into the system’s basin. If you wish, you can watch the contents leave your body through a sealed viewing tube.
Once the session is complete, the colon hydrotherapist turns off the system and then leaves the room to allow you to drain and rinse in privacy. When you are through, you will meet the colon hydrotherapist outside of the room for a refreshment and a recap of the session.
A session typically lasts 45 minutes, but allow one hour for your appointment.
