What is Colonic Irrigation?

What we eat

Living in today's society it is difficult to avoid eating junk food, fatty food, lollies, processed food, food with preservatives, and too much food. 'Convenient food' is precisely that - convenient! Have you ever drunk coke, soft drinks, cordial, coffee, tea or any drink with caffeine? If you have, harmful food has entered your colon. Colonic Irrigation helps to minimise that harm.

Colon Information

The colon, (also called the large intestine) is almost 2 meters long. The average person - and by this we do not mean someone who is overweight - may be carrying around in their bodies colon between 10 to 25 kgs of toxic waste most of which is in the colon and some of it is in the form of dried fecal matter!

While we may not think much about the colon, it is nevertheless vital to a healthy life. It could, in fact, be considered as the body’s purification system. The colon is a hollow, tube-like organ composed of muscle tissue which, using a wave-like motion, moves the digested food through the bowel to the rectum. If the ‘system’ is not working properly, the whole body suffers. It also holds many of the bacteria that produce various vitamins and it further enables the absorption of proteins into the blood stream. Such an important organ obviously needs to be kept clean.

Colonic Irrigation's Value

This is also called 'Colonic Irrigation.' It is not a 'new' discovery as its value has been recognised for many years. What is new is the hi-tech equipment that is used today to ensure efficiency and your safety and comfort.

Colonic Irrigation cleanses the colon by removing hard and toxic waste material; some of this has been attached and trapped in the intestine for a long time and so becomes the source of many health problems. Colonic Irrigation is beneficial in many ways - in cleaning the colon it helps to clean the blood, stimulate the immune system and assists in the restoration of the pH Balance (that is, the acid-alkaline balance) to the body.

Colonic Irrigation helps to tone the colon and enables it to work more efficiently. It thereby reduces the burden on other organs as it protects the body from harmful bacterium. The room in which the therapy takes place is very pleasant and has a relaxing atmosphere.

High-Tech Equipment

The state-of-the-art equipment, which is Australian made, has been designed to ensure your comfort during the process. It is completely safe; after each session, all disposable equipment is discarded and non-disposable equipment is thoroughly disinfected using hospital approved disinfecting solutions.

Treatment

Before the Colonic Irrigation treatment begins, the therapist will give you a form on which you state your case history and indicate present health problems for which you are receiving medical treatment. The procedure is then explained to you in detail.

The patient lies in a comfortable position on his/her back, while body-temperature water is introduced into the colon at a low gravitational pressure through a small, flexible plastic tube. The water dissolves the waste which is then disposed of through a closed system. This offers a complete cleansing of the colon which can not be achieved by any other method.

The quality equipment that we use does not require the constant attendance of the therapist during the irrigation process. She nevertheless checks out the client's comfort from time to time and may be summoned at any time by pressing a bell. As the process is contained in a closed system, it is neither embarrassing nor smelly. And your dignity is preserved at all times.
