About Colon HydrotherapyColon hydrotherapy, also known as “colonic”, “colon lavage” or “high colonic”, is a form of colon cleansing which dates back to early Egypt and has been practiced throughout the world for thousands of years. Colon hydrotherapy is a safe, effective and gentle process that cleanses the colon of waste material by repeated, gentle flushing of warm filtered water. It is a more complete and extended form of an enema. The enema reaches the last 8 to 12 inches of the colon where with colon hydrotherapy, the entire colon is cleansed.The popularity of colon hydrotherapy has greatly increased in more recent times due to the impact of modern society. We are continuously exposed to toxins from chemical pollutants, heavy metals, pesticides, drugs, alcohol, active/passive cigarette smoke and food additives. In the year 2001 alone, more than 6 million pounds of chemical pollutants were released into the environment. Over the course of a lifetime, we will be exposed to thousands of foreign compounds that can enter our bodies through the food we eat, the air we breathe, and directly through our skin. Conventional diets comprised of refined, processed, chemically laden foods high in saturated and hydrogenated fats, high in sugars and low in fiber can contribute to the build-up of toxins in our bodies, particularly the colon. Our fast paced lives often don’t allow for us to take the time to relax, eat slowly, or drink enough water in order to help digest our food properly. Colon hydrotherapy assists your body in eliminating toxins from the colon and in turn aids with the removal of toxins from its organs, lymph, blood and cells. Cleansing the body through detoxification can profoundly improve physical and mental health as well as encourage the unfolding of the emotional and spiritual self. My clients repeatedly share with me how their lives have been graced with positive and uplifting experiences due to colon cleansing. A colon hydrotherapy session at Radiant Health of Boulder takes 40-45 minutes. The colon hydrotherapy session takes place in a private, tastefully decorated room, with soft lighting and pleasant music to insure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for the client. Each room is equipped with a bidet toilet, sink and personal cleaning supplies. The client lies on a specially designed colon hydrotherapy table, while completely draped in a gown and sheet while the therapist monitors the session to ensure his or her complete comfort. The colonic table features a disposable rectal tube that eliminates any possibility of cross contamination. There are built in check valves that prevent waste water from returning to the water supply. The waste material is eliminated through a drain line to avoid any offensive odor. The table is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each treatment The number of colon hydrotherapy sessions required varies among each individual. It is important to remember that many years of neglect and improper nutrition is not easily reversed in just a handful of sessions. Along with colon hydrotherapy services, Radiant Health of Boulder offers to its clients comprehensive detox programs which include colon cleanses, parasite cleanses, liver cleanses, a special 21-day whole body cleanse as well as a heavy metal detox program. Special pricing is available to encourage individuals to consider full spectrum cleansing programs to optimize the health benefits. |
