What is Colon Therapy?

The therapeutic goals of colon therapy are to balance body chemistry, eliminate waste and restore proper tissue and organ function. Colon therapy releases toxins, cleans the blood, stimulates the immune system and aids in restoring the pH balance in the body. Colon Therapy, also known as colonics, is believed to relieve a wide range of symptoms related to colon dysfunction.

It involves the introduction of discrete amounts of purified water, sometimes infused with oxegen, specific herbs or coffee, using medically approved class II colon hydrotherapy devices via a single-use speculum and tube set. The treatment fluid is released from the body at the onset of a contraction (indicated by a resistance gauge) This proceedure is repeated multiple times during the course of the 45 min. treatment period.

An "enema" or colema is a type of colon hydrotherapy treatment performed by oneself using a bucket with an attached hose, while lying on a board positioned over a toilet, into which the contents are released.

In gastroenterology, the term "colonic irrigation" is also used to refer to the practice of introducing water through a colostomy or a surgically constructed conduit as a treatment for constipation.

Though colon hydrotherapy, colemas and enemas all have features in common, there are some significant differences between the modalities in terms of depth of colon cleansing, amount of water used, and the necessity for a practitioner to be present.
