The Benefits of Colonic Hydrotherapy / Irrigation and Bowel Massage

PART ONE - WHAT COLONICS AND BOWEL MASSAGE DO FOR THE COLON

1. CLEANSE THE COLON

Colonics rinse away impacted toxic, faecal excrement so it can no longer harm your body or hinder good eliminations. Your colon can then begin to work efficiently again like it was intended! A colonic is a rejuvenation treatment. Even if you have a healthy bowel it will improve it even further helping you to feel fantastic.

2. EXERCISES AND TONES THE COLON MUSCLE

Sometimes the build up of hardened faecal mucoid deposits can eventually weaken the bowel wall and impair its vital functions. The gentle rinsing effects of a colonic can improve the peristalsis (waves of muscle contractions) - therefore this will help you to eliminate waste better in the future, (in other terms helping you to have nicely formed, light-brown poos with little or no need to strain or wipe, preferably twice a day, each and every day - ahhh perfect!) Unlike laxatives colonics actually strengthen the colon and are not habit forming.

3. REHYDRATE THE COLON & INDIRECTLY THE WHOLE BODY

Water is re-absorbed into the body through the colon. Please note:- When you are dehydrated your body absorbs extra water from the poor colon and leaves it with small, hard and difficult to pass pebbles - ouch! Remember folks straining can lead to haemorrhoids and eventually a fissure could develop, fissures are tears in the anal canal which sometimes never actually heal properly and can be excruciatingly painful every time you go to the toilet. (More tips on how to keep your stools soft and healthy coming up in part 5)

4. STIMULATION OF REFLEX POINTS

Reflex points in our bowel are connected to different parts within our bodies. Several clients who have had problems losing weight or have reached a plateau, have commented on how colonics can unblock these issues and as they talk and clear their mind they can also release down below. Feelings of enhanced mental clarity and feeling lighter and brighter can be because of the unloading of toxins from our systems. I will discuss this in greater detail at a later stage but for this part I am focusing on the physical effects a colonic has on our colon.

5. RE-SHAPE THE COLON

If people have longstanding problems with their bowel ie. chronic constipation / diarrhoea or IBS, this can cause the bowel wall to weaken in places, stretch or go into spasm. The bowel wall can sometimes become so stretched and out of shape that it can actually put pressure on other organs. For example occasionally we all may experience the feeling of being out of breath after a big meal or when we have over-indulged, but if you find you are experiencing this feeling nearly every day you can be pretty sure you are carrying unwanted wastes in your bowel and are not digesting your food properly. Sometimes an overloaded bowel can cause back pain especially in the lower lumbar region.

Don't miss 'Part 2' I will discuss how colonics can benefit our bodies as a whole and also illustrate some comments I hear time and time again from clients. Future blogs will also include FREE diet plans and a guide on how to keep stools happy and healthy!!!

Please note this is not a substitute for medical advice, colonics work best when the client is relaxed and work well in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Many people have a colonic to kick start a diet or detox plan.
