Is it a Safe Treatment?
Colon hydrotherapy is a safe, effective method of detoxifying your body by removing waste from the large intestine, without the use of drugs. By introducing filtered and temperature regulated water into the colon, the waste is softened and loosened; resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis (wavelike movement).

Modern FDA Colon Hydrotherapy equipment is use during treatments. FDA registered equipment features temperature and pressure controlled water, a built-in chemical sanitizing unit and with a water purification unit.

The unit is cleaned and sterilized after each treatment and every client has their own disposable rectal tube which is only used once to prevent contamination.

Will Laxatives or Enemas Achieve the Same Results?
Laxatives and enemas are not substitutes for colonic irrigation. Laxatives act as a chemical irritant and stimulate the muscular walls to abnormally contract to expel the irritating substances.Administrating them orally can also interfere higher up the alimentary tract where important digestion takes place.

Enemas are helpful to clean out the lowest 25 to 30cm of colon, but you are missing out approximately the last 1.2meters. Therefore, laxatives & enemas do not clean the whole Colon the same as Colon Hydrotherapy.
