What is Colonic Irrigation all about?
The colon is an extremely important organ in the body, carrying out a number of vital functions. It is the major organ of elimination and as such is responsible for eliminating food and other toxins from the body. It also completes the digestive process, absorbing water, nutrients and synthesising key "B" vitamins.
Healthy functioning of the bowel is essential for optimum health, however lifestyle factors such as poor diet, alcohol, insufficient water and exercise, stress, pollution, smoking can result in dysfunction and disease.
Think about this;
- The healthy transit time of food through our bodies is 24 hours or less.
- On average in Australia it is 60 hours for men and 70 hours for women.
- Colon cancer kills 90 people every week. (reference www.health.gov.au)
- Bowel disorders such as irritable bowel, constipation, colitis, crohns disease, diverticulitis, candida are widespread.
Colon irrigation is a safe, gentle and effective way of cleansing the bowel in order to prevent and reverse these disorders.
Highly purified, warmed water enters the body through a very small tube, softening accumulated waste and gently removing it from the body.
The water is low pressure so the treatment for most people is refreshing and relaxing. In fact many are relieved at how easy the experience is compared with their expectations.
