The purpose of getting a colonic is to remove all waste and gas from the large bowel.
This is encouraged by gently irrigating the colon with temperature-controlled, gravity fed, purified water.
The cleansing process takes approximately 45 minutes starting at the moment the patient is placed in his room. The process is gentle and usually pain free. However, mild cramping may occur during the session due to large pockets of gas and impaction of waste moving through the colon. This discomfort is only temporary and usually occurs with clients who are suffering with chronic constipation, bowel impaction, and excessive gas.
Colon therapy is also known as colon hydrotherapy, colon irrigation or Colonic.
The medical term is high enema and it is a safe gentle infusion of filtered, temperature controlled water into the large intestine (colon) by gravity.
