Colon Hydrotherapy

A sluggish colon or bowel can allow foods to putrefy rather than ferment due to the increased time they are in the colon as a direct effect of slow motility. When there is putrefaction in the colon the environment becomes inhospitable to beneficial gut flora. Unwanted bacteria, yeast, viruses and parasites thrive. In such conditions, specific compounds might be released that can damage the intestinal wall resulting in intestinal permeability (also known as leaky gut) and increased inflammation.

This effectively increases the toxin burden on the body, limiting additional drainage and detoxification pathways, increasing adrenal and thyroid dysfunction and resulting in brain inflammation as well as causing other problems. Colonic hydrotherapy is one of the most effective ways to reduce toxic burden in the colon by removing excess impacted faecal matter using purified water and gentle massage techniques.
