The Colon
The colon forms the last part of the digestive tract. It carries out a number of vital functions including the completion of the digestive processes. The colon protects us from infection and disease. Seventy percent of the immune system lives in the gut! In a healthy bowel the friendly, healthy, scavenging bacilli colli will easily control unhealthy bacteria. A healthy bowel will have complete elimination two to three times daily. A healthy bowel will have a transit time of food passing through our body of between 10 and 24 hours.
In terms of its elimination function, the colon is like the sewage system of the body.
Modern colonic hydrotherapy is the gentlest, safest and most effective way yet discovered of clearing out waste matter, faecal matter, gas, mucus and toxic substances which have become trapped in the colon. It uses – in its basics - a fairly simple system of purified water, gravity and specialised, disinfected tubing. To be efficient, a treatment requires a period between 30 and 40 minutes in which water is introduced into the colon through the rectum, at a rate of several ounces at a time, then expelled each time. Every time new water enters the colon it progressively softens and expels faecal matter and compacted deposits. Herbal preparations may be added to the water for certain health conditions. Your first two or three sessions will prove just what a good decision you have made. Modern colonic hydrotherapy is a very important tool in regaining health and vitality.
