Colon Hydrotherapy
Experience the Gut Health Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy at Clarity Colonics
Colon hydrotherapy is an FDA approved method of removing waste from the large intestine without the use of drugs. During a session warm, filtered water is gently introduced into the colon. As a result waste is hydrated and softened ultimately encouraging the body’s natural evacuation via peristalsis. This process is repeated a number of times during the session.
For most people, the removal of waste during a colonic encourages natural elimination and better colon function overall.
Dehydrated stool can become impacted, or stuck, in your colon, blocking waste from leaving the body. This often causes pain and bloating that could be relieved with as little as one session.
Colon hydrotherapy naturally helps your gut eliminate built up waste, supports issues of occasional constipation and may encourage a sluggish bowel.
A colonic may be supportive when:
Feeling like you aren't emptying completely is a sign of constipation that may lead to colon compaction
Prior to a colonoscopy as a colonic is an approved preparation method
Prior to menstruation to help relieve premenstruation constipation and heaviness
Less than two bowel movements a day
will ultimately affect your immune function

Detoxification support is an important part of a proper cleansing protocol. Herx (detox) reactions are common when cleansing (juice fasting, parasite eradication, healthy diet changes), and are a sign that drainage pathways are clogged. A colonic gets excess toxins out of the body and you feeling better fast!
Everyone can benefit from gut health support
The road to restoration is not an independent endeavour. Our health is intricately connected to the health of our planet. As the chemicals from industrialization have built up in the air, soil, and water the bioaccumulation of toxins in our bodies has followed suit. It is estimated that the average person consumes approximately 5 grams of plastic particles per week, equating to roughly the weight of a credit card. Never mind the cumulative effects of food additives, pharmaceuticals, viral infections, and day-to-day stress. While our detoxification pathways were once adequate in eliminating harmful substances from our bodies these pathways are now burdened by the constant influx of toxins and are in desperate need of support.
When the body is taxed there is less energy for cellular repair, inflammation cleanup, and digestion along with many other processes necessary for optimal functioning.
In an ideal world you would be having as many well-formed bowel movements as meals consumed per day. Unfortunately, this isn’t the norm as so many modern day factors can influence this rate. Colon hydrotherapy offers a natural and safe way to support your system during periods of less than optimal functioning.
As scientific data continues to stack up the importance of gut health and functioning detoxification pathways are no longer limited to the minds of complimentary and alternative medicine practitioners. The secret is out: gut and microbiome health is intrinsically connected to the wellbeing of the mind, body, and spirit.
Colonics are not a new age revelation
In its most basic form, the enema, was first documented in the 14th century B.C. in the Egyptian medical text, Ebers Papyrus. Historical findings indicate the use of the enema for health and medical purposes across many cultures and millennia.
With the advent of rubber and plastic, by the late 19th and early 20th Century, the enema slowly gave way to colon hydrotherapy equipment. Dr. Kellogg reported in the 1917 Journal of American Medicine that in the treatment of gastrointestinal disease in over 40,000 cases, he had used surgery in only 20 cases. The rest were helped as a result of cleansing the bowels, diet, and exercise.
Colon hydrotherapy gained the attention of James A. Wiltsie, M.D., who contended that “our knowledge of the normal and abnormal physiology of the colon, and of its pathology and management, has not kept pace with that of many organs and systems of the body. As long as we continue to assume that the colon will take care of itself, just that long will we remain in complete ignorance of perhaps the most important source of ill health in the whole body.”
