Also known as a high colonic irrigation, colonic hydrotherapy gently cleans out the colon using warm distilled water only. This procedure has been claimed to have various health benefits.
During the procedure:
- A tube is inserted into the rectum.
- Warm filtered or sping water (sometimes mixed with additives such as vitamins, probiotics, enzymes, or herbs) is gently pumped into the colon.
- The therapist may massage your abdomen during a waiting period to break up and moved impacted fecal mater that may be trapped along the walls of the colon.
After the colonic, fecal matter and the liquid that was used during the procedure is flushed out of your body. You will be taken to a toilet in order to complete this process.
The entire session generally takes around 45 minutes from start to finish.

Colon hydrotherapy is an internationally popular form of alternative healing. It should not be confused with enemas used to treat severe constipation.
One of the foundational beliefs driving the practice is "autointoxication," the state by which prolonged exposure to the substances in fecal matter is believed to compromise your digestive and immune health. By clearing these substances from the body, colonics are purported to positively influence intestinal flora and your overall health.1
Proponents of colonic hydrotherapy strongly believe that the procedure can maintain optimal colonic health and treat various physical ailments. This is partly due to the porosity of rectal and colon tissues, which usually absorbs directly into the blood stream. This is why it is imperative that the fecal mater is moved through and evacuated out of the colon within 24 to 48 hours – if left in the colon longer than that the fecal mater will get impacted (constipation) and toxic and this will greatly increase the chances of blood poisoning. Getting a Colonic will alleviate this problem right away.
Washing fecal matter from the colon reduces toxic exposure to substances found in stool. Colonics are also an effective means of detoxification, normalizing bowel function, treating inflammatory bowel diseases, and promoting weight loss.
