Colon Hydrotherapy
I have been having problems with "pass motions" for several years. The healthy way for a person is to visit the toilet at least once everyday. Unfortunately for me, I dont have that luxury. Rather, if i can visit the toilet 3 times a week, I would say "Thank God".
And so over the years I have attempted on several remedies, such as fruits diet, taking cereal drinks (those loads with fibre), eat yogurt, drink LITE tea (meant to be for slimming tea) and recently acupuncture. Most don't work, but the LITE tea and acupuncture helped a bit. But the problem is that I dont wish to be reliant on these methods, because it's simply unnatural and of coz very costly.
Lately, in a couple of magazines, the topic of detox was mentioned. In it they either teach you what you should eat to go toilet or several methods which are proven effective. In this month's issue of FEMALE, three methods were mentioned: 1. Fruit juice diet 2. Oral cleanser (water) and 3. Colon Hydrotherapy.
The third method caught my eyes. It states that it'll put a tube in and pump warm water into the rectum. The water will then flow out together with the wastes (hard ones too), toxin and trapped gas. This sounded something I really need. A full cleanse of my large intestines or colon area.
This prompted me to research further on what is this Colon Hydrotherapy. After googling, I chanced upon a website that specifically breakdown the term Colon Hydrotherapy.
There are many parts to Colon Hydrotherapy which invloves several things. Of which one (I believe) was wat Female Mag was referring to, Colonic Irrigation.
So what is Colonic Irrigation:
A Colonic Irrigation using the gravitational method is an internal bath that helps cleanse the Colon of Poisons, Gas, and Accumulated Fecal Matter. Unlike an ENEMA, it does not involve the retention of water. There is NO discomfort, NO internal pressure, just a steady gentle flow in and out of the Colon. At the same time, an Abdominal Massage is given to stimulate the Colon to recover its natural Shape, Tone, and Peristaltic Wave Action. No other system can equal this process.
How is a Colonic Administered?
A person receiving the Colonic lies on a Special Colema-Board which is about 32" below the Temperature-Controlled water flow. A Sterilized Speculum is gently inserted in the Rectum. Water flow, which is always under the control of the Practitioner, flows into the Colon via a small water tube and out through the evacuation tube carrying with it Impacted Feces and Mucous. As the water flows out of the Colon the Practitioner gently Massages the Abdomen to help the Colon release its contents. It is possible to see this Expelled Waste Matter in the catch basin at the end of the process. The person is well covered and their modesty is given TOP PRIORITY during the procedure. The Colonic process takes about 30 minutes.
What are the benefits?
Colonics offer relief from a variety of disturbances by cleansing the Colon of Impacted and Putrefactive Fecal Matter. Fatigue, Gas, Headaches, Irritability, Skin Problems, Cold Hands and Feet, Lethargy are among the problems people have found relieved by Colon Cleansing. Constipation, of course, is another as well as Chronic Diarrhea. Your sense of well-being is often dramatically improved with the Colonic Process or Colon Cleansing. You feel lighter, more energetic. The body can again assimilate food in the Colon and better defend itself against disease. Natural Peristalsis, Tone and Regularity are restored and many Serious Diseases may be averted through this gentle, sterile, scientific technique. Colonics are a key factor in the restoration of the body's natural balance or what we call good health.
Any Side effects?
There are no side effects. It is not uncommon however, for some people to start to feel like they have a cold or headache after a Colonic. Toxins which have been lying dormant in the Colon are now being flushed out and a small amount may be Re-Absorbed into the body's system. This healing crisis passes quickly and the person will realize a feeling of well-being with further treatments.
I would believe this will be a nasty operation. It might have promised painless treatments, but i'm sure pain will be there and of coz looking at the bag or tank with shit all around... shld be quite disgusting.
But looking at the benefits from this procedures, it does sound good. I mean... right now solving my constipation problem is key and I believe it's affecting me. It makes one more lethargic, more prone to diseases, perhaps even PMS. On another note, I might even lose weight but of coz that aint the reason for this. I believe it affects the overal health, the quality of the skin, perhaps every part of the body, because all the stubborn hard waste simply refuses to clear out and the toxin remains. As for the trapped gas, it might explain my bloatedness and frequent burps and trouble farting.
This is a serious problem and it's been haunting me for years. I wonder if this is really the only way to cure my system.
Why relaying on LITE tea or medication from the TCM doctor is no good is simply because in the first place it cleanese the lower end of the intestine and does not clear the hard waste stuck by the side of the intestine including the upper area of the intestine. But Colonic actually cleanese the entire intestine.
However, I would believe this will be a very expensive treatment simply because it requires a few weeks of treatments, twice a week.
For other detoxing methods (for those with not so severe cases) you can try just a fruit and vegetable diet. Remember to try not to cut the fruits up and leave it in the fridge before eating, it will lose all its nutrients. In fact, best way is to juice it and drink it immediately.
