Colon Therapy
Supporting digestive wellness and natural elimination through professional colon hydrotherapy.
Detoxification — The Path to Improved Health
Detoxification is often neglected or underestimated in the healing arts. Toxic acids are normal by-products of cellular metabolism, and the body also assimilates varying amounts of potentially harmful substances from the air we breathe, the food we eat, and other environmental sources.
When these substances are efficiently eliminated, balance is maintained. However, when toxins are produced or absorbed faster than they can be removed — or when one or more of the body's eliminative systems become underactive — the body may experience increased physiological stress.
Developing a Toxic Colon
When the bowels are underactive, waste materials may remain in the colon for extended periods. In such cases, toxic substances may be reabsorbed into the bloodstream and distributed to tissues.
Impaired digestion and incomplete nutrient absorption may further contribute to digestive imbalance. Supporting natural elimination can therefore play an important role in overall wellness.
Colon Hydrotherapy (Not an Enema)
Colon hydrotherapy is designed to cleanse the entire colon, unlike an enema, which primarily cleanses only the lower bowel.
Using specialized equipment and purified water, waste materials are gently flushed from the colon. For individuals with sluggish bowel function, this process may help support normal peristaltic activity. Over time, as bowel function improves, fewer sessions may be required.

Spastic Bowel and Stress
A spastic bowel is often associated with colitis. The point to stress is that when bowel muscle is overworked, tense and not given an opportunity to rest, it will go into a spasm. Muscle spasms is a chronic tightening of the fibers due to hyperactivity in the nerve impulses controlling muscle action. The symptoms frequently manifest as constipation, alternating with diarrhea. Mental and emotional stresses are high on the list of contributing factors, coupled with chronic toxemia and poor diet.
Bowel Stricture
A stricture of the bowel usually occurs after an inflammatory disease such as colitis has damaged the tissue. It is a chronic narrowing of the passageway that often results in a backup of feces that are unable to pass through. The feces accumulate in front of the stricture, causing ballooning, while the segment just past the stricture collapses.
Mucosal Dysfunction
Mucosal dysfunction occurs when the intestinal mucus lining becomes stagnant and putrefactive. It begins to develop many unfavorable conditions. No longer does it serve the function of facilitating elimination of fecal material. Instead it degenerates in several ways. It can become abscessed, in which case irritations, abrasions, ulcerations and bleeding can occur. Food passage can be very painful.
Mucus can dehydrate and accumulate due to increased viscid consistency. This causes layer upon layer to be built up until extreme constipation occurs. This old material becomes a source of infection and toxic absorption, holding many otherwise excreted products. It also greatly inhibits the absorption of nutrients and water, adding to the nutritional crisis.
Colitis and Psychological Distress
Colitis is an irritable bowel condition that is highly associated with psychological distress. Few people truly realize the benefits of a calm and peaceful lifestyle. Fear, anger, depression, stress, tension, worries and obsession can all upset delicate processes in the body, and in particular, those of digestion and elimination. Sometimes what we need is a good cerebral laxative to rid the mind of emotional autointoxication and constipation.
Diverticular Disease
Diverticular disease of the colon is occurring at an ever-increasing rate. It is a serious bowel disturbance leading to many difficulties and must be avoided. When the diet is lacking in bulk or fiber, the colonic muscle must work extremely hard to force feces through the organ. Where there is weakness in muscle fibers a hernia occurs, producing a small pouch or sac-like protrudence in the tissue.
Structural, Functional, and Metabolic Imbalances
Structural, functional and metabolic imbalances of the colon are manifested in various forms. We will mention a few of the more common abnormalities of the colon to illustrate the effects of autointoxication and constipation.
Adhesions
Adhesions in the colon are caused by inflammation and irritations to the bowel wall. When the mucus membrane breaks down, tissue becomes exposed, open and irritated. The raw surface begin to stick together as the result of glue-like substance secreted from the tissue.
