Colon hygiene is nothing new, but it's popularity is gaining by having colon hydrotherapy treatments, or "colonics". For the "uninitialized", the thought of having large amounts of water flushing through the colon may not be a very comfortable one. This article will show you what to expect.

How do you clean your colon?

During a colon hydrotherapy session, copious amounts of water are used to flush the colon completely. This is done without the aid of drugs or chemicals, so the procedure is relatively safe with few side effects. The water is gently pushed into the colon via a tube in the rectum, and the water is warmed to body temperature for the patient's comfort. Reputable hydrotherapy technicians will use disposable equipment to eliminate the possibility of cross contamination from patient to patient.

What can I expect?

While it sounds quite uncomfortable, most people actually like having a colonic. Expect the treatment to last 60-90 minutes.After the tube has been inserted, about 30 gallons of warm water will flow in and out of your colon. This large amount is needed to cleanse your colon from impacted fecal material. A small amount of water is gently pushed in, and then expelled. This cycle will repeat until 30 gallons have flushed your colon. The expelling of waste goes into a closed system, making the experience very leasant without any odors at all. As the water is flowing, the therapist will gently massage your abdominal area to help dislodge the stored fecal material. This is usually very relaxing and comforting.

Should I clean my colon often?

In general, having a colonic once every three to six months is recommended. If your diet is poor, and you do not get regular exercise more frequent colonics may be recommended.

What about after the colon cleansing?

After your treatment you may feel light, more energized, sleep better and experience less back ache. Many of your symptoms may be reduced or gone all together. Your bowel movements may be lighter and more frequent. you may be surprised at the benefits you will experience after having regular colonic treatments.
