What is colon hydrotherapy and why would one do it?
It is not uncommon in today’s world for people to have a feeling of incompleteness after going to the toilet. This is a form of constipation called tenesmus. If bowel function is incomplete on this way or unhealthy in other ways, the vitality of the colon suffers. All manner of diseases can result from a lack of vitality in the colon, including diverticulosis. Colon hydrotherapy in Melbourne can help to remove all unreleased matter. In conjunction with a healthy diet, exercise and hydration, colon hydrotherapy can restore your colon to optimal vitality.
Colon hydrotherapy uses UV sterilised, filtered, temperature controlled water to wash the colon. In the first colon hydrotherapy session the water flows to the rectum and sigmoid (descending colon), irrigating the lower parts of the colon. Colon hydrotherapy stimulates a lot of movement and clearing from here, as any compacted or remaining matter is removed with the expulsion of the water. This is the essence of colon hydrotherapy.
Subsequent colon hydrotherapy sessions will allow the water to flow further into the colon. The transverse colon, running parallel to the bottom of the rib cage, is located closely to the liver, the major detoxification organ. During colon hydrotherapy the warmed water washes the mucous lining of the bowel. This mucous lining is normal, but with modern diets – pesticides, artificial colourings, alcohol and drugs – our bodies often have too many toxins to deal with. As the colon is constantly reabsorbing water into the body, having a clean healthy mucous lining is important to avoid “auto intoxification”. After colon hydrotherapy, healthy mucous lining will regrow in its place. Healthy microflora should be reintroduced during your colon hydrotherapy session to further enhance healthy regrowth.
With additional colon hydrotherapy session’s water will flow around to the ascending colon, the beginning of the colon. During colon hydrotherapy water doesn’t pass into the small intestines, but flushes back out, known in colon hydrotherapy as the caecum flush. The process of colon hydrotherapy provides a gentle tonifying massage to the colon, which further aids health and vitality to the bowel. Colon hydrotherapy doesn’t create a reliance, but rather with a series of colon hydrotherapy sessions, it increases the tone, vitality and over all health of colon function and structure.
