Colon Hydrotherapy Sydney.

GMO’s, pesticides, excessive sugar consumption, alcohol and environmental factors such as stress can all have a detrimental effect on our body which puts it at a greater risk of dis-ease. Gently cleaning the colon naturally supports the body to detoxify from these factors resulting in greater overall health.

Cleansing the colon can be traced back to as far as 5000 B.C during Egyptian & Mesopotamian societies where it was used as an effective method to treat disease and ill health. Gut health has been continuously looked upon as the root of all diseases with it being a constant focus throughout history and particularly popularised by modern medicine fathers such as Galen, Da Vinci, Plato and Hippocrates.

What is Colon Hydrotherapy?

Colon hydrotherapy Sydney is a natural, non-evasive water therapy where temperature controlled filtered water gently enters through the rectum and travels through the entire colon where it softens faecal matter. This helps cleanse the colon by flushing out old toxins such as candida, parasites, mucus and undigested food particles whilst also eliminating gas. The average person can carry several kilos of old matter in their colon which can have been accumulated from weeks, months days or even years.

A build-up of toxins can be linked to numerous diseases and health issues from leaky-gut and inflammation to more serious issues such as auto-immune disorders and cancer.

Unlike enemas which do not reach the entire colon, colon hydrotherapy uses multiple flushes in a controlled, relaxing and gentle environment causing faecal matter sitting further up the colon to be released with ease.

+ Improved muscle tone of the colon from the reduction of toxic intestinal residue.
The colon becomes clearer which allows for efficient elimination and the alleviation of constipation issues.

+ General sense of wellbeing.
The colon is completely hydrated throughout the session which allows for improved blood flow to and from cells resulting in better functioning of organs throughout the entire body.

+ Improved hormones and reduced PMS symptoms.
The improvement of the muscles surrounding the area of the reproductive system allows for less pressure on these organs which in turn permits them to work more effectively.

+ Increased immunity. 
A colon free from toxins and built up waste allows for improved absorption of nutrients. The large intestine is also connected to the nervous system and lymph nodes which are greatly supported. White blood cells which support our immune system can be taken around the body to fight pathogens and bacteria more easily since there is an increased ability for the body to absorb water which our blood system requires for transportation.

+ Improved mood.
Serotonin is a hormone regulates mood. Approximately 70% of all serotonin is produced in the gut. Once the gut has been cleared of toxins the intestinal cells can manufacture and use this hormone more effectively.

Clearer skin

When the intestines and colon are overloaded with toxins and waste, it is unable to effectively do its job of removal. Toxins are then expelled using other emunctories such as the skin.

Pre treatment

Colon hydrotherapy is a great method used to hydrate after a flight or if suffering symptoms of constipation, a simple detox or for more chronic health issues. It is advisable to drink plenty of good quality water before your session which will help aid Elimination of waste.

During your session

Our naturopath will leave you in our treatment room to undress from the waist down and lay on the infrared treatment bed with a towel covering below your waist. The infrared sauna mat further supports detoxification by heating the body on a cellular level whilst also ensuring you are at a relaxed comfortable temperature.

Once the session has begun it lasts approximately 45 minutes in which during this time your colon is gently filled and emptied. Your stomach will be massaged by our naturopath to help aid assimilation and to ensure you receive the best possible results.

Post treatment

After your treatment you will be left to eliminate further in the private bathroom if required. It is important to drink plenty of water to keep hydrated afterwards. Since the colon has been cleansed and flushed we advise avoiding harder to digest foods at first such as nuts and seeds and to stick to lightly steamed vegetables/ salads / protein / bone broth or soup-based meals for the next 1-2 days if possible.

Don’t eat a lot of raw vegetables as these can promote gas and bloating. A good quality probiotic is also further support for great gut health post treatment. This will support the body's detoxification process and lay the foundations for new healthy gut flora. By nourishing the body with food such as bone broth, probiotics and prebiotic vegetables following the cleanse, the body will absorb nutrients and minerals much easier since the cell walls of the colon are clearer.

Fibre rich foods such as leafy greens are also highly recommended to continue to support health bowel movements. Further to this, you may feel more easily satiated since the colons walls are able to absorb the nutrients it requires much easier.

A warm Epsom salts bath is also a lovely post treatment experience, boosting your magnesium absorption and further promoting detoxification.
