Colonic Hydrotherapy

“When the bowel is dirty, the blood is dirty and so are the organs and tissues.  It is the bowel that must be cared for first. Sickness and disease respond more effectively and faster to treatment when bowel irrigation is done first.”      
Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., N.D.

What is Colonic Hydortherapy?

Colonic Hydrotherapy is a technique of flushing the large intestine (or colon) with purified water in order to cleanse and tone it.  This gentle procedure helps to remove toxins in the colon, which, in turn, helps the entire body to detoxify.  A soothing flow of purified warm water is gently instilled into the colon via a disposable rectal nozzle (“size of a pencil”) gently stimulating the colon’s natural peristaltic action in order to release softened waste.

You are draped during the session and your dignity is always maintained!  The LIBBE device is designed to regulate, pressure, temperature and slow of water throughout the session.  Most people find the LIBBE device allows the most comfortable colonic experience they have ever had.


Why is it Necessary?

After years of poor nutrition, dehydration, insufficient exercise and stress, we develop sluggish digestion and elimination.  A sluggish bowel, along with an unhealthy diet, can create a build-up of fecal matter, which can cause toxins to be re-absorbed into the bloodstream (“autointoxication” or self-poisoning)  According to the Royal Society of Medicine in London, up to 36 different poisons can be re-absorbed by the body.  The goal of having a series of colonic sessions is to cleanse impacted and putrefactive fecal matter and  increase the bowel tone.  Contraindications for having colonic hydrotherapy include:  Bleeding from colitis or Crohn’s disease, severe hemorrhoids, divirticulitis or tumor of the colon.


How Many Colonic Sessions Do I Need?

This depends upon a person's symptoms and is determined from the results of the first treatment. For a preventative series, 3 may be sufficient. Most people will benefit from 5 -7 colonics, (one per week), along with supportive supplements and some dietary changes. As a preventative measure, you may wish to have a colonic session after a period of travel, inactivity or other seasonal transitions.
