COLON HYDROTHERAPY: WHAT IS IT?
Colon hydrotherapy is referred to as colonics, colon irrigation, or high enemas. All of these are names for colon hydrotherapy which uses water for inner cleansing. Colon hydrotherapy is clean and relaxing. A soothing flow of warm water is instilled gently into the colon through a nozzle inserted into the rectum to cleanse (evacuate) the contents of the lower colon. The system is designed to allow evacuation of the contents of the colon during the administration of the colonic irrigation. The pressure, temperature, and flow of water can all be safely regulated throughout the procedure.
