Are you experiencing fatigue, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea or IBS? These
digestive discomforts can negatively impact your daily life and overall health. If you
are seeking an effective treatment to improve your digestive health, then you should
consider Colon Hydrotherapy. Although it may seem like a new health trend, Colon
Hydrotherapy has been utilised by various cultures for thousands of years. The
ancient Egyptians, for example, employed various methods, including enemas to
treat diverse diseases, while prominent figures in Western medicine, such as
Hippocrates, Galen, and Paracelsus, prescribed enemas for colon cleansing. It was
also a significant part of Taoist and yoga training regimes.
Although natural healing methods such as colon cleansing were overshadowed by
pharmaceutical treatments in the mid-twentieth century, they have regained
popularity in recent years due to their effectiveness in treating digestive issues like
malabsorption, constipation, bloating, recurrent yeast infections, dysbiosis and
intestinal discomfort. Today it is recognised as one of the most popular holistic
treatments available.
This gentle cleansing therapy involves introducing warm water into the colon to
achieve seven key objectives: relieving stagnation, rehydrating the bowel, repairing
the gut wall, replenishing digestive enzymes, balancing gut flora, restoring the gut-
brain connection and re-educating the bowel owner. These elements are
interconnected and can provide a three-dimensional picture of physical, emotional,
and energetic changes that Colon Hydrotherapy can bring. If you are ready to take
charge of your digestive health, consider giving this therapy a try!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT COLON HYDROTHERAPY
1. What is the colon?
The colon or large intestine is the end portion of the human digestive tract
(food carrying passageway extending from the mouth to the anus). The colon
is approximately 1.5 m long and 6-7 cm in diameter. Its major functions are to
eliminate waste to conserve water. Also, there are bacteria living in the colon
which synthesize valuable nutrients such as Vitamins K and portions of the
Vitamin B complex.
2. Will one colonic completely empty the colon?
Almost never. Firstly, many of us have a considerable amount of impacted
faeces in our colon; these is hardened, rubbery or wallpaper like material.
Secondly, there is a subtle learning process involved in receiving colonics. As
you become more aware of what is going in your abdomen and your body
learns how to allow the cleansing experience you are better able to enter into
that process and therefore more material is released. One colonic will remove
some of the stagnant waste in the colon. The second and subsequent
colonics will remove more. How many you wish to have will depend upon
your personal objectives. Your qualified therapist will advise you after your
initial colonic treatment.
3. Is it embarrassing to have a colonic?
No, you will fully maintain your personal dignity. You will be in a private room
with only your therapist, who fully appreciates the sensitivity of the colonic procedure and will help you feel at ease. Your emotions will be acknowledged and respected.
After the gentle insertion of a small tube into the rectum, you are completely
covered. Disposable tubing carries clean water in and waste out in a gravity
pressured system. The mess and odour sometimes present during an enema
simply do not exist with a colonic.
4. Is there anything I need to do to prepare for a colonic?
Since your abdomen will be massaged it is a good idea to eat or drink lightly
in the 2 hours immediately preceding a colonic. Also, helpful but not essential,
emptying the rectum with a bowel movement just prior to the colonic saves
time and permits more to be accomplished. If possible, try not to eat gassy
foods 24 hours prior to your colonic and drink plenty of water.
5. Are colonics dangerous in any way?
Being an essential natural process there is virtually no danger with a colonic.
Our intent is to provide a safe and healthy service so that you do not have to
worry. Cleaning and sterilisation of the necessary equipment is done as
normal procedure and clean linen is used for each colonic as well. High
standards of cleaning are paramount along with the use of disposable
speculums and tubing to ensure that there is no risk of cross contamination.
6. Are there any additional benefits I might experience from having
colonics?
Working with a skilled therapist a colonic can be a truly enlightening
educational process. You will learn to expand your awareness of your bodies
functioning by including signals form your abdomen, your skin, your face and
even from that most taboo of natural products, your elimination’s. You will
find that you can spot the beginnings of developing conditions through clues
from these body regions and functions before they become serious. You can
deal with them sooner and more easily than you otherwise might if you waited
until they produce effects seen elsewhere in the body. Also, the solar plexus
is the emotional centre and the transverse colon passes right through it. If an
emotional event is left uncompleted, it often results in physical tension being
stored in the solar plexus, which affects all organs of the area, including the
colon. This on-going tightening of the colon muscle results in diminished
movement of faecal material through the colon, which is experienced as
constipation. Not only do colonics alleviate the constipation, they can assist
you in creating a fully holistic view of your body’s functioning, leading to a
better quality of life.
7. Is a colonic painful?
Usually, a painful experience is the result of resistance and tension. A
professional colon therapist is skilled a putting you at your ease and
minimizing discomfort. Most people actually enjoy the colonic and are
pleased with the unaccustomed sensation of feeling lighter, clean and clear
afterwards. Sometimes during a colonic, the colon muscles will contract
suddenly expelling considerable amounts of liquid and waste into the rectum.
This may feel like cramping or gas and may create a feeling of urgency to
empty the rectum. Such episodes if they do occur are brief and easily
tolerated.
8. Will a colonic make me constipated or give me diarrhoea?
The most frequent post-colonic experience is to have a slight delay in bowel
movements and then a resumption of a somewhat larger, easier to move
stool. Sometime if the colon is weak and sluggish, there may be no bowel
movement for several days following a colonic. However, this is not due to
the colonic, but rather to the weakness of the colon and should be interpreted
as an indication that the colon requires strengthening and healing. Very
infrequently diarrhoea or loose bowels maybe experienced. This could be
due to the extra water introduced into the colon or to the stirring up of toxic
waste. If this should occur, it is usually of very short duration. However, since
severe diarrhoea dehydrates the body, it must be carefully monitored.
9. Will a colonic destroy my gut microbiome?
If your diet, antibiotic use, and other lifestyle factors have made your bowel
toxic, you may have little or no beneficial gut bacteria. While your blood
needs to be slightly alkaline, your digestive system actually requires stomach
acids to function optimally, with a pH of 5.5-7.0 for the large intestine. The
helpful bacteria only thrive in an acidic environment, whereas harmful ones
flourish in an alkaline environment. Years of poor nutrition, lack of exercise
and poor elimination can contribute to this. However, a series of colon
hydrotherapy treatments can help to shift the gut environment to promote a
healthier gut microbiome.

Although best known for exploring family dynamics,
systemic constellations are also a powerful tool for examining any and all of our
important relationships in life, including our relationship with Nature.
Constellations can represent or map other wider systems such as organisations,
and, for example, the hidden stories and influences of systemic racism, colonialism
or the gender divide. They form part of my Men’s work. This is deep soul work that
directly reaches the parts that other practices can approach only slowly or rarely.
Systemic Constellations can reveal the undercurrents of our lives, the undertows that
sometimes take us to places where we do not want to be, or where we are unwell or
feel unsafe.
