FAQ

Colonic hydrotherapy involves gently infusing the colon with temperature and pressure controlled water, to flush and eliminate impacted or built up waste matter in the colon. This practice has been known for centuries having evolved from ancient Egyptian times as a means to increase vitality, health, well-being and beauty. A more detailed explanation can be found on our colonic hydrotherapy page.

Yes, colonic hydrotherapy is very safe. At Inner Cleansing Health Clinics, we believe this is the safest and most effective method for improving digestive health and increasing energy and vitality. In some rare cases, colonic irrigation can cause mild dehydration which may lead to headaches and/or muscle cramps after the treatment has been completed. It is for this reason that we suggest being fully hydrated before, and rehydrating after your colonic hydrotherapy session by drinking sufficient amounts of water.

Yes, absolutely. The sensation after having a colonic hydrotherapy session is not unlike the feeling of a regular bowel movement.

You may need at least 3-6 colonic hydrotherapy treatments initially depending on your goals and requirements. We highly recommend them to be undertaken in close succession for optimal results.

The reason this is so important is because generally during your first session, we are effectively hydrating the bowel, and softening accumulated waste. During subsequent treatments, removal of this waste becomes much easier and effective as a result of previous treatment.

This is entirely up to you. Whilst the majority of our clients would prefer the privacy of being alone, we do have a registered nurse and certified colonic hydrotherapy practitioner on hand ready to assist you with any questions or concerns.

You can eat, but it is recommended that you do not eat any food within 2 hours of your colonic hydrotherapy to avoid any discomfort during your treatment.

If you are suffering from poor digestive health to begin with, it is likely that the good bacteria in your colon have been compromised. It is for this reason that colonic irrigation can help change the landscape of your good vs bad bacteria. Once we eliminate all the built up toxins and waste products, your good bacteria then can begin to flourish and help maintain and restore digestive health.

There are many benefits associated with colonic hydrotherapy. Many believe that they are only useful for constipation and other digestive disorders. However colonic irrigation can also assist with:

• anti-ageing;
• weight loss and improved metabolism;
• increased energy & vitality;
• improved skin condition and reduction of acne;
• elimination of frequent headaches;
• depression; and
• muscle cramps.

No, there is no such thing as becoming dependent on colonic hydrotherapy treatments. However, we do suggest that you take proactive steps to take care of your digestive health once you have undergone a colonic irrigation.
