Why Choose Colon Hydrotherapy ?
What is the Colon?
The digestive tract that runs from the mouth to the anus. The colon (or large intestine) is the final stage of the process. The colon is a large muscle and is approximately 5-6 feet long and 2 and half inches in diameter. The major function is to eliminate waste, to conserve water and produce & absorb vitamins.

What Is The Purpose Of Having A Colonic?
Being toxic and struggling with poor health can make life very difficult, draining energy reserves and making you irritable, tired and stressed, leading to a downward spiral. Accumulated waste material, (impacted faeces, dead cellular tissue, accumulated mucous, parasites, worms etc.) which has remained in the colon for some time, may cause from mild to severe health problems.
This accumulated waste can be quite toxic and these toxic substances are able to pass through the wall of an unhealthy colon and enter the bloodstream making us feel ill. A build up of unwanted material in the colon can reduce its muscular action, causing it to become sluggish and ‘lazy’. Assimilation of important vitamins and minerals can also be compromised.

What Does Colon Hydrotherapy Do?
The aims of Colon Hydrotherapy are to cleanse the colon, stimulate peristalsis, (contraction and relaxation of the colon) re-shape it and stimulate reflex points.
An experienced, highly trained and skilled colon hydrotherapist is able to assess the general health of the intestines, locating areas of inflammation, spasticity and dysfunction. Laura uses specific massage techniques, during the colonic hydrotherapy treatment, to bring blood, oxygen and nutrients to the intestines, helping to break down contractions and improve function.
Regular Colon Hydrotherapy treatments over the longer term may lead to improvements in liver and kidney function, better digestion, and strengthening of the Immune System. Colon Hydrotherapy is particularly effective when used in conjunction with other natural therapies, such as nutrition and herbalism. Clients report feeling younger, fitter and healthier, having a new zest for life, helping them to go forward and enjoy each day and deal with the many problems that life presents them with.
