Q:How many sessions will I need?
A: When beginning Colon Hydrotherapy a series of close together sessions is always recommended. The colon is 5ft long and 1ft can accumulate 10 pounds of waste! If you are on the more toxic side, you will need more sessions to alleviate your gut of the hard impacted waste. Most people do 4-6 sessions within a 2-3 week period when beginning their wellness journey.
Q:How will I feel after my colonic?
A:Most people feel amazing after a colon hydrotherapy session. Some people come on their lunch breaks at work or even come before going to the gym. When getting a colonic your body releases toxins at a rapid rate causing you to experience die off symptoms such as a headache, nausea, sweating or chills ect. If you prep correctly before your colonics you are less likely to experience those symptoms.
Q:How should I prep before my colonic?
A: No caffeine or dairy 24 hours before your appointment. Please come on an empty stomach (no food 3 hours before and no liquids 30 minutes before). The days leading up to your appointment try having as many fresh pressed juices or smoothies as you can. Up your water intake and enjoy foods with a high liquid content as well to assure things come out easier.
Q:Do colonics hurt?
A:A colonic should never hurt. Generally, you will feel slight cramping or pressure from the breakdown of trapped gasses and impacted waste. After those are moved out you will feel relieved. As the waste is rehydrated it becomes easier to come out making it less uncomfortable.
Q:Will my body become dependent on colonics?
A: It is impossible to become dependent on colonics. We use nothing but filtered water during our colonic hydrotherapy sessions. In fact, colonics help strengthen the muscles in the colon wall. This will help the peristalsis movement and you will be able to have more bowel movements on your own after the old matter is released.
Q:Who should not get a colonic?
A: You are not a suitable candidate for colonics if any of the following medical conditions currently apply to you:
-had abdominal surgery within the last 6 months
-in your first trimester of pregnancy
-have late stage kidney failure
-have an active ulcerative colitis flare up
-have colon cancer
-have intestinal perforations
-have abdominal hernia
Q:What is an enema?
A:An enema is an add-on service we do after your colonic so you have proper absorption of the therapeutic benefits. Enemas are a modality that has been around for centuries with countless benefits. We can add things like coffee to detox your liver and clear up your skin or things like lavender to help with anxiety! We use organic materials, always and never in plastic with distilled water. 32oz of liquid is put into a stainless steel enema bucket and inserted into the colon. After 15 minutes the liquid is released on the toilet.
