Preparation:
24-48 hours before your appointment it is suggested that you eat primarily soups, cooked vegetables and grains unless you are on a special diet in which case always adhere to your doctor’s requirements. Drink plenty of water, at least a litre a day two days before your session and plenty the day of. Two hours prior to your appointment please refrain from eating and limit your water intake at that point as you will rehydrate during your session.
Directly before and after your appointment avoid: alcohol, caffeine, carbonated drinks, chocolate, fried food, processed food, sugar, dairy products and junk food.
Also avoid gas producing foods such as: Beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, eggs and peppers.
Beneficial foods to eat directly following your session (unless otherwise following a specific diet prescribed by your doctor) are: soups, cooked vegetables, raw fruit and whole grains. Consider reducing meat consumption in general.
What happens during a session:
Colon hydrotherapy is a clean and refreshing process. A soothing flow of purified warm water is instilled gently into the colon through a small disposable nozzle. The small rectal nozzle is easily self-inserted to cleanse and evacuate the contents of your lower colon. The water is double purified with an Ultraviolet Water Purification System as well as a carbon filter. Your dignity is always respectfully maintained. The therapy room is comfortable and once instructed you may be in solitude for the entirety of the session if preferred. The pressure, temperature and flow of water are all safely regulated. Odor and content are whisked away through the drain. A session usually lasts between 30-45 minutes
