Colon Hydrotherapy is an Important Part of Maintaining Optimal Health.
Health begins in your colon (your gut), which is why it’s important to keep it clean. Doctors do recommend colon therapy as an easy and effective colonoscopy preparation because it flushes waste and pathogens out of the intestines prior to the procedure.
Disease begins in your colon, so along with a healthy diet, colon cleansing is one of the best ways to keep your intestines (and the rest of your body to include the immune system) in optimal shape.
Why Is Your Colon Critical For Good Health?
Think of your colon as the waste management station of your body. All of the cells and tissues in your body – including your major organ of detoxification, the liver – rely upon a well-functioning colon so they can cleanse your body of toxins.
Yes! Waste, leftover from the digestion of the food, is sent to your colon to be safely excreted from your body, but the important nutrients and hormones are still being absorbed or manufactured there as well.
When everything is working in an efficient manner, your colon would not only handle the waste, it would also absorb leftover nutrients (like water, electrolytes, and vitamins) from digested foods and send them back for your body to use!
Your colon is always deciding what to get rid of and what important nutrients to redistribute. And if think it’s rare for people to have issues with their colon, think again!
3 Important Reasons Why Colon Cleansing Benefits Everyone:
The average person has between 7 – 10 pounds of old fecal matter in their colon, even with a bowel movement each day.
The accumulation of waste on the walls of your colon creates the perfect breeding ground for parasites, yeast, bad bacteria, and viruses.
In fact, for too many people today, detoxification pathways are essentially blocked. Over time, toxins build up. It is estimated that the average person is exposed to over 123 toxic chemicals each day from food, water, air, stress, and personal care products.
Colon Therapy and Colonoscopy Preparation
During colon therapy, a trained colon therapist uses warm water to gently fill up and flush out your colon. This process may feel strange at first, but it can clean out your colon more thoroughly than many other colon cleansing treatments.
In fact, colon therapy is so effective for cleansing, doctors have been recommending colonics as an effective colonoscopy preparation.
Let’s face it anyone who’s had a colonoscopy will say the preparation was the worst part. Colonoscopy preparation consists of drinking a mixture that results in uncomfortable diarrhea as a way to clear your bowels for the procedure. Indeed colonoscopy preparation alone may keep people from doing this important early-detection procedure.
New research is showing that colon therapy is a win-win for doctors AND patients. With colon therapy, doctors are getting better colonoscopy results and patients have a MUCH easier colonoscopy preparation.
Why Cleanse Your Colon?
Besides colonoscopy preparation, there are many other reasons to cleanse your colon with colon therapy:
Constipation; A healthy colon will eliminate once per day, constipation is going days without a bowel movement.
Improve gut health for overall wellness
Overall body/gut detox
Digestive health improvement
Hydration of the body down to the cellular level

Flush out bad bacteria, yeast, mucous and old fecal matter from your colon (post-illness, over-use, etc.)
