Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon hydrotherapy is the gentle cleansing of the large intestine with warm water in order to remove encrusted fecal matter, gas and mucus. This allows the colon to absorb more of the vital nutrients your body needs on top of removing any harmful toxins from the body.
What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
How Does Colon Hydrotherapy Work?
The colon is home to billions of micro-flora (bacteria) that actually make up approximately 70 percent of the dry weight of feces. Besides forming stool, the various beneficial bacterial organisms living within the colon and digestive tract are important for proper nutrient absorption, maintaining pH balance, controlling hunger and counteracting potentially dangerous bacteria. This is why a well-functioning colon is so important for overall well-being.
At Infinity for Health, we use a state-of-the-art FDA registered open and closed device, using a 3-stage filter, and temperature controlled water. While lying down, the patient is connected to the colon cleansing device. From there water gently circulates into the colon. Once slight pressure builds up in the
colon, the water can be released bringing out all the waste and toxins that have been residing within your body. This process is repeated throughout the 35-45 minute session. To ensure maximum sanitation, we use a new disposable speculum/rectal nozzle for each patient. It is recommended to do 3 sessions over a 5 day period to get the best results.
