ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES AND TREATMENTS > Colon hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy of the colon is a technique consisting in circulating water in the large intestine to clean it, using a very sophisticated apparatus. Colon hydrotherapy will help to improve problems of indigestion, constipation, etc.

Colon hydrotherapy acts as a shower, which ensures the distribution of water and ozone in the colon, over a period of 45 minutes, at a specific pressure by way of a special cannula. The whole colon is treated with warm water and a specialised massage, thus allowing the removal of blocked excrements, incrusted remainders and toxic residues. The colon hydrotherapy is a pleasant experience for the patient, who is relaxed during the treatment and who enjoys a sensation of wellbeing and organic lightness from the first administration.

Colon hydrotherapy is a detoxifying procedure for the body. With each therapy session 60 to 70 litres of water are introduced into the colon.

When the body has an excess of toxins, they circulate through the whole body and, if the colon does not eliminate them, they are “re-directed” to the liver, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, stomach and skin. The colon is a reflex organ, that is, it has electrical connections with all parts of the body. When the toxins accumulate for a long period in the colon, the chain is broken, and the functions of the body being to slow down.

Joseph E.G. Waddington in “Scientific intestinal irrigation therapy and supporting therapy” said:

"The abnormal functioning of the intestinal canal is the precursor of many health problems, especially chronic illnesses. The restoration of physiological intestinal elimination is often of primordial importance, before the eventual restoration of health".
