Colonic Hydrotherapy

Bowel Cleansing is the underpinning of all cleansing and detox methods. Our bodies eliminate the daily by-products of cellular metabolism, digestion and liver detoxification through the bowel. Efficient bowel function is fundamental to health by supporting the processes involved in the detoxification of all environmental chemicals, toxic foods and drinks, hormones and stress metabolites.

Colonic Hydrotherapy works by

  1. Helping to eliminate accumulated stagnant waste from the colon
  2. Hydrating the bowel (dehydration is one of the major cause of poor bowel function)
  3. Physically re-training the bowel muscles towards healthier peristalsis (bowel muscle action) by using different water application, temperature and specific herbs
  4. In conjunction with personalised dietary and life style adjustments which are discussed as part of your consultation the following conditions can benefit from Colon Hydrotherapy

  5. Constipation, bloating, irritable bowel syndromes
  6. Digestive problem such as heartburn etc

      Deep abdominal/colonic massage

      Deep abdominal massage is also known as colon massage or internal organ massage.

      Colon Massage is based on Swedish massage techniques and specific deep abdominal massage. The aim of colon massage is to encourage and remind the colon how to work efficiently. It helps with constipation, bloating and painful digestion as well as conditioning the skin and helping to diminish stretch marks and improve the condition of cellulite. Massaging the stomach also helps to re-balance the emotions and release tension.

      It is a wonderful therapy that promotes relaxation and wellbeing, as well as aiding the elimination of toxins and waste products.

      What are the benefits?

      Colon massage is especially good for encouraging better elimination, reminding the colon how to work more efficiently which has an accumulative effect on the digestive and excretory system, it helps to condition the skin, can help with stretch marks and cellulite and improves bloating and water retention. Clients report that the experience is deeply calming and relaxing, leaving them feeling energised and revitalised and better able to concentrate.

      This treatment is ideal for individuals unsure of having a colonic hydrotherapy treatment, but who still wish to address colon issues.
