Yes, the body can compensate and cope with dry stools, gas and toxins without any serious symptom of fatigue, skin problems, bad breath, bloating, headaches, joint pain, etc. However, we all have weak points and, sooner or later, if the digestive system is weak, this could eventually lead to serious illness.

Every colon is different and so everybody’s treatment differs in frequency. On average up to 5 to 6 treatments once a week for 5 to 6 weeks is required to clean the colon, but even one or two treatments can be a life changing experience. Your practitioner will advise on the number and frequency of treatments.

It is not painful; you may experience fullness or an urge to go to the toilet.

The colon has pockets, which can stretch, due to the structure of the colon walls. An individual can carry 10 to 15 kg of old matter throughout their life, not including the transitional faecal matter which the colon manages to excrete.

There is no a single answer. It may be a simple or complex reason for the waste to remain in the colon, e.g. poor bowel movement, excessive consumption of sugar, alcohol and processed food, artificial colouring and preservatives, stress, medication or lack of proper hydration. The colon is designed to absorb fluids from the transitional matter, so the slower it moves and the longer it stays in the colon, the drier and harder it becomes.

No, it is a non-invasive treatment, using a gentle flow of water, that can lightly massage the walls of the colon, returning their elasticity and correcting deformities of the colon. What gradually can damage the walls of the rectum and the anus are dry stools, generated with constipation, when effort is required to push them out.

No, quite the opposite: water, that irrigates the colon, and a deep massage of the abdomen during the treatment make the smooth muscle of the colon stronger and correct its shape, improving its function.

We lose our microbiome, or friendly bacteria, all the time, as our good bacteria continuously takes part in stool formation. All loose bacteria, including pathogenic microflora and parasites as well as old faecal mass will be ejected, leaving the walls of the bowel free for our friendly bacteria to attach to the walls and replenish.

If the bowel is packed with old faecal mass, faecal stones, toxins and gas, it cannot absorb nutrients. When the bowel is clean, it absorbs minerals and vitamins effectively. It is important to have our microbiome healthy as it participates in the synthesis of many vitamins.

No, there are no side effects. Some people, however, may feel tired, but their tiredness is similar to post workout in the gym. Some people feel energised and elated. We are different and the initial reaction to colonic depends upon our psychosomatic state and the level of colon uncleanness.

Yes, severe haemorrhoids, cirrhosis, carcinoma of the colon or rectum, pregnancy, abdominal hernia, recent colon, rectal or abdominal surgery, anal fistula, epilepsy, active inflammatory bowel condition (Diverticulitis, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s disease) and spinal injury above T6.

No, but eating before the procedure is not beneficial. Your treatment involves some deep manipulations within your abdomen. It is safe, but some people may experience discomfort if done immediately after eating, so leave at least an hour without food before your treatment.

The outcome of your treatment is going to determine how long it will be before you next have a bowel movement. If you do not release much during the treatment, but the water sufficiently soaked old faecal material, you may have a good bowel movement the following day. If you released a lot during the treatment it may take 36-48 hours until your next bowel movement.  

No, it is not necessary, but if you have the opportunity, you can have an easy time reflecting on something positive while sipping water or camomile tea after your colonic.  

You can do what you normally do. If you have an opportunity you can rest and keep warm, drink 1-2 cups of herbal teas, have steamed broccoli, sweet potatoes or avocado, avoid drinking alcohol and eating meat, dairy and bread and do not drink raw juices for at least 48 hours. For 2 days following your colon hydrotherapy treatment your body will continue to detox.  Support your body by avoiding processed, sugary, fried and heavy meals. For the best result introduce an alkaline diet,.  Remember to chew your food properly, making the eating process more meaningful. Your practitioner will advise you what and how to eat if you wish to know.  

It is beneficial to correct your diet, introduce herbs and spices, exercise, breathing techniques, dry skin brushing, etc. Your practitioner will advise you what is best for you to do.

Enemas help emptying the lowest segment of the colon and it takes up to 2 litres of water. Colonic irrigations can cleanse larger areas of the bowel and it takes up to 60 litres of water, which has a greater training effect on the peristalsis of the colon, improving the bowel kinesis or vitality.    

That depends on the load of the toxins and old faecal mass on the bowel and how your bowel responds to the initial and following treatments. It can take two to three or sometimes more treatments to shift the old deposits of waste material, which are stuck in the colon for years and have become a stone-like mass. Once it is out, you can feel more energy, your skin can feel softer and radiant, you will have a clear vision, sharper and more assertive thinking. Even after the first treatment you should feel a lot less bloated and definitely lighter.
