Why do I need a Colonic?
Unfortunately, the average person does not have a healthy colon. We are constantly bombarded by toxins in our everyday lives. They are in our food, air, water, skincare, household products, medications, etc. Some of these toxins are unavoidable but one of the main reasons we are so burdened by poor health is our nutrition. The typical Australian diet consisting of high fat, low- fibre, refined sugar, processed food high in preservatives and toxic chemical additives. As these foods move through the colon, fluids are absorbed during the digestive process and the remaining waste hardens and clings to the colon walls where it putrefies. A healthy colon will be moving this waste out through natural peristalsis 3-4 times a day but sadly, the average persons is having less than 2 bowel movements per day. When this occurs and the colon is not functioning as nature intended then these toxins can then be absorbed into your blood stream and can lead to autointoxication or self-poisoning and negatively affect your physical, mental and emotional health, leading to very serious weight and health problems.
Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy
There are a huge range of health benefits that our clients report from regular colonics. Here are some examples!
Improves Digestion
- Colon Hydrotherapy can help to ease a large range of digestive complains including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), constipation, diarrhoea, gas and bloating. Colonics can help improve these conditions by increasing hydration and nutrient absorption and removing the bad bacteria that flourishes as a result of impacted waste in the colon.
- Increases Energy
- Cleansing the colon prevents toxins from being reabsorbed into the blood stream. This alleviates the feeling of fatigue or sluggishness.
- Improves Muscle Tone of the Colon
- When the colon is heavily impacted with waste the natural peristalsis is limited. Over a long period of time this causes our colon to become ‘lazy’. Colon Hydrotherapy retrains the colon to function optimally, promoting strength and tone.
- Restores Hydration
- The primary functions of the colon are to eliminate waste and absorb water. During your colonic treatment water is gently infused into the colon where it can be absorbed and utilized efficiently.
-
- Improves Immunity
- Around 80% of our immune system resides within the gut. When the colon is cleansed we are creating a better environment for our good bacteria to flourish and build a strong immune system.
- Assists in Weight Loss
- Lots of people find that once they get their digestion, absorption and elimination functions in order then weight loss becomes easy. Many of us have 5kg or more of waste impacted in our colons, Colon Hydrotherapy can help to clear that waste plus any bloating that may contribute to concerns.
- Improves complexion and acne
- When the colon isn’t functioning properly, toxins need to leave the body through alternate means, the skin. Once the colon is cleansed the skin (and other elimination organs) is no longer burdened with excess toxins, reducing the likelihood of breakouts and rashes. Cleansing the colon also allows our good bacteria to flourish which can help to ease symptoms of eczema and psoriasis.
- Decrease Stress and Anxiety
- There is a very profound connection between the gut and the brain, in fact the gut of often referred to as the second brain! Restoring balance to the bacteria in our gut through colonics can help to boost your mood and create a sense of emotional wellbeing.
- Improve Cognitive Function
- Colon Hydrotherapy can help to improve general brain function. If our colon is not functioning properly, often our brain isn’t either which can result in feelings of brain fog and poor concentration. Colon Hydrotherapy can also help to improve absorption of nutrients that are crucial to brain function.
