History
The practice of Colon Hydrotherapy or Enema was first used by the Egyptians. The Ebers Paprus of the 14th Century B.C., and the Edwin Smith Paprus (c. 1700 BC.,) both mention enemas and gave directions for the use of the enema. By the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, with the advent of rubber and plastic the enema slowly gave way to strict FDA standards and safety in colon hydrotherapy equipment. Dr. Kellogg reported in the 1917 Journal of American Medicine that utilized cleansing of the bowels, diet and of course exercise as a popular treatment. Colon Hydrotherapy eventually gained the attention of James A. Wiltsie, M.D., Who contended that “our knowledge of the normal and abnormal physiology of the Colon, and its pathology and management, has not kept pace with that of many Organs and Systems of the body.”
What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy (Colonic) is a safe, effective method of removing toxic waste from the colon without the use of drugs or laxatives. Purified, temperature regulated water flows gently into the colon, helping to soften and loosen accumulated fecal matter in the intestinal walls. The colon’s natural peristaltic action, along with the water helps the body eliminate the accumulated waste and toxins. This process is repeated a few times during a session. The sessions will typically last 30-45 minutes.
Session: During a colon hydrotherapy session, the client reclines comfortably on a padded backrest. The buttocks rest above an open drain area, a small disposable nozzle is inserted into his/her own rectum. He/ She is in control of the water flow at all times during the session. During the session, most clothing can be kept on and you will be draped, or a gown might be worn to ensure modesty. Your dignity is always maintained. All our therapist are Board certified colon hydrotherapist by I-ACT.

Preparation before session:
Recommendation to follow after Colon Hydrotherapy Session?
Following lower bowel cleansing, the body may feel weary or relaxed. This is simply your body working out and processing through its cleansing period. Proper rest is important for your body to recuperate and rejuvenate.
Probiotics
It is important to re-populate the colon with a friendly source of bacteria such as acidophilus. When used, it promotes a healthy intestinal flora for better fecal elimination and for the absorption of vitamin B vitamins. There are more than 300 friendly bacteria. Some work primarily in the gut system and some strains are also beneficial to travel throughout other systems of the body to fight off bacteria and tissue. Especially the first day or 2, select healthy foods that are soft in consistency: soups, steamed vegetables. Brown rice. For breakfast- cooked whole grain cereals are easy on the digestive tract. Avoid raw vegetables for approximately 24 hours. The seeds and skins of certain veggies and the tough fibers of lettuce can form air pockets, which could lead to a bloated feeling.
Avoid:
- Salt and Heavy Spices
- Wheat products such as bread and pasta
- Soft Drinks
- Fried Food
- Dairy Products
After your cleansing drink plenty of liquids (water, juice, herb teas and electrolyte liquid.) Fruits are ok- preferable in the morning-but chew thoroughly.

Colon Joke- Who is the BOSS!
The human body is made up of several systcites and parts that work together as a unit. Lets see who is the BOSS!
When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be the Boss. The brain said, “I should be the Boss because I control the whole body’s responses and functions.” “I should be the boss,” said the blood, “because I circulate oxygen all over, so without me you’d all waste away.” The legs said, “We should be the Boss because only we can take the body anywhere it wants to go.” The stomach said, “I should be the Boss because I digest all the food and keep the body healthy.
“The eyes said, I should be the boss because “I give the body sight and the ability to see all the beauty in the world, Finally the colon spoke up and declared he is the Boss. All the body parts laughed at the idea of the colon being the Boss. This angered the colon so much that he went on strike and refused to work.
After a few days passed, the situation was terrible; the brain had a terrible headache, the legs got weak and shaky, the hands clenched, the stomach was bloated, the eyes started to water, the blood was toxic, and the heart and lungs began to panic. Eventually they all decided that the colon should be the Boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and passed out the feces!
