Colonic Cleansing
At the Colon Cleansing Centre we believe that true beauty and total wellbeing comes from a holistic approach to health.
In modern society we often define health as ‘the absence of disease’, yet in reality it is far more than that. We believe true health to be a state where the mind and the body are functioning at peak efficiency. We understand that when the body is hydrated optimum health can be achieved.
This leads to living life to the full on a daily basis, experiencing increased levels of energy and vibrancy, along with improved vitality and mental clarity.
A proper combination of nutrition, exercise and Colonic Cleansing (Colonic Hydrotherapy /Colonic Irrigation) can help the body maintain and restore its natural healthy balance allowing us to enjoy a far greater degree of vitality and energy than in most cases we could possibly imagine.
There is no greater gift to give yourself than the time to take care of your own well being, in order to rebalance, rejuvenate and re-energise your mind, body and emotions.

What is Colon Cleansing?
At the Colonic Cleansing Centre, Colon Cleansing, also known as Colonic Irrigation and Colonic Hydrotherapy, we use water to cleanse and stimulate the colon resulting in client reports of relief from a wide variety of symptoms. At the Colonic Cleansing Centre, over a 45 minute period, warm water is gently repeatedly introduced into and released from the colon at a low pressure.
..........................................................
Why do we need Colon Hydrotherapy?
Unfortunately, our modern diets coupled with stressful lifestyles and environmental pollutants have put a strain on our bodies and this means we can become unable to rid ourselves of waste material efficiently. The food that we eat is digested less efficiently, we are prone to dehydration and this can result in a wide array of problems, one of the main ones being constipation.
..........................................................
What exactly does a Colonic Cleansing treatment involve /how is it done?
Colon Hydrotherapy is a gentle treatment during which warm water is hygienically introduced into and released from the bowel. At the Colon Cleansing Centre a full appointment is for 60 minutes. It begins with a 10 minute introduction and ends with a short clean up. The actual Colonic Cleansing treatment is usually a 45 minute session and warm water is used to gently flush the colon. Throughout the process a qualified practitioner employs a combination of abdomen massage and reflexology to assist the colon to release as much waste as possible.
All you have to do is lie comfortably on the bed, and you will feel a warm sensation in the abdomen. As the water enters the bowel, you will begin to feel ‘full’ and as the water is released, you will feel a sensation of relief. The practitioner communicates with you throughout the process and the water can be turned off at any time. At the end of the session clients report feeling cleansed and 'lighter' than before their treatment.
Clients have described this as not just feeling of lighter weight, but also as a feeling of a lifting of their mood. Many do actually lose a little weight during the treatment as sometimes more than a kilogram of accumulated waste material can have accumulated in the bowel. Just one Colonic Cleansing session is equivalent to having several regular bowel movements. Further sessions can be even more substantial as older faecal matter is dislodged from the colon walls.
At the end of a Colonic Cleansing treatment you will be given electrolytes to aid hydration, healthy bacteria and sheets of information to improve your general health and assist you with your Colonic Cleansing program.

Common Colonic Cleansing Questions:
Is there anything I need to do to get ready for a Colonic Cleansing?
Since your abdomen will be massaged it is a good idea to eat and drink lightly in the 2 hours immediately preceding a Colonic Cleansing. If possible slowly drink 2 litres of water throughout the day prior to your Colonic Cleansing appointment. This assists in hydration and is a good preparation.
..........................................................
Is it embarrassing to have a Colonic Cleansing?
No, you will fully maintain your personal dignity. You will be in a private room with only your practitioner, who fully appreciates the sensitivity of the colonic procedure and will help you to feel at ease. Your emotions will be acknowledged and honoured. After the gentle insertion of a small sterile tube into the rectum, you are completely covered. Rubber tubing carries clean water in and waste out in a gravity pressured system.
..........................................................
It sounds like a Colonic Cleansing may be good for me, but will it be painful?
It rarely is. Some discomfort may arise as the result of resistance and tension. Sometimes during a Colonic treatment, the colon muscles will contract suddenly moving considerable amounts of liquid and waste towards 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.
At the Colon Cleansing Centre your professional colon practitioner is able to release the water pressure at any time to reduce discomfort immediately. The practitioner will communicate with you through the whole process and is skilled at putting you at your ease and minimising any discomfort. Most people actually enjoy the Colonic Cleansing and are especially pleased with the unaccustomed sensation of feeling light, clean and clear afterwards.
..........................................................
What Can I have a Colonic Cleansing treatment if I am on the pill?
Yes – a Colonic Cleansing treatment does not interfere with the use of the contraceptive pill.
..........................................................
Can I have a Colonic Cleansing treatment if I have my period?
If you have strong period pains and you don't feel well enough to come then try to avoid making your appointment during your period. If it is not so bad, then it can actually be a very beneficial time for a Colonic Cleansing.
..........................................................
When is a Colonic Cleansing treatment NOT recommended?
The Colonic Cleansing Centre does not recommend Colonic Cleansing treatments for sufferers of complicated gastrointestinal disease (including diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis) or for people with a history of colon surgery. It is not recommended for people suffering severe haemorrhoids, kidney disease, or heart disease.
Colonic Cleansing affects water levels in the body and it stimulates contractions in the colon which in turn can stimulate other organs in the body.
We would also not recommend having a Colonic Cleansing treatment in the first and last trimesters of pregnancy.
..........................................................
Why not just use enemas, suppositories or laxatives instead?
Enemas do not clear as much of the colon as Colonic Cleansing. Suppositories and laxatives can contain chemicals to create bowel movement and cause dehydration. Colonic Cleansing treatment however does NOT contain chemicals and instead hydrates.
..........................................................
What can I expect afterwards?
Most likely, you'll feel great. Probably you'll feel lighter and enjoy a sense of well-being. Not infrequently, someone having their first Colonic Cleansing treatment will remark that it was an amazing experience. As soon as the Colonic Cleansing treatment is finished you can carry on with daily routine. For some, the treatment may trigger several subsequent bowel movements, but there won't be any uncontrollable urgency to go to the toilet. It's also possible you may feel light-headed for a few moments following a Colonic.
..........................................................
Are Colonic Treatments dangerous in any way?
At the Colonic Cleansing Centre it is our intent is to provide a safe service. We do NOT use harmful chemicals, sterile disposable gloves and tubes are used, cleaning of equipment and linen are a part of normal procedure. Your practitioner is experienced and industry qualified.
..........................................................
Will a Colonic treatment make me constipated or give me diarrhoea?
The most frequent post Colonic experience is to have a slight delay in bowel movements for a day or two and then a resumption of a somewhat larger, easier to move stool. Directly after the treatment loose motions may be experienced. This could be due to the extra water introduced into the colon and if this occurs it is usually of a very short duration.
..........................................................
Suppose I have been suffering from constipation for a long time, will Colonics treatments help?
We want to state that constipation can be successfully treated with harmless techniques, including the use of Colonics. Constipation is one of what may be termed ‘modern civilised man's diseases’. There are three factors involved in having a well functioning colon: diet, exercise and attitude. All three must be in balance for the colon to function well. However when the colon has been sluggish for along time, it may become misshapen from holding excessive amount of stool, and constricted by chronic tension in the colon. The process of Colonic Cleansing is excellent for clearing the colon sufficiently so that changes in diet, exercise, and attitude are then able to produce their effects. Clients have found that the relief provided by Colonic Cleansing treatments stimulate the motivation and enthusiasm to institute positive changes in their lifestyle.
..........................................................
Will it be all right to eat after having a Colonic Cleansing treatment?
We suggest that you eat at your normal mealtime, and consume a moderate amount of whatever seems gentle and nourishing to you. Just as it doesn't make sense to have your car cleaned and then immediately drive it through mud, eating a meal known to cause trouble in your abdomen directly after a Colonic isn't an intelligent choice. Eating a wide variety of foods and getting enough fibre is important. More information will be provided by your practitioner. Definitely do not drink alcohol as there may be a reaction.
