Colonic irrigation is a scary thought for most people. In actuality, it is usually not uncomfortable at all. If your colon has a lot of gas in it, you may experience mild, transient cramping. You can prevent having gas in your colon to a great extent by chewing each mouthful of your food at least 20 times. Also, not drinking with your meals insures that complete digestion will take place and minimizes the likelihood that fermentation and bloating will occur. Generally, in all human activity, we reap what we sow, and this is very true regarding a colon hydrotherapy session.

Your CHT session will take place in a private sanitized room, where you are discreetly draped. You will have on a pair of boxer shorts backwards, plus your own clothes from the waist up. A polar fleece blanket will cover you, and you'll enjoy the warmth of hot rocks wrapped in terry cloth under your feet. You may elect to listen to soothing music provided, or bring your own favorite CD. Some prefer to just chat or enjoy silence. A typical session lasts 45 minutes, but may go for up to an hour, or, be finished in 30 minutes, depending on the condition of the contents of your colon, which is hard to determine before the session begins. Regular clients who come in on a monthly basis, are typically finished within 25-30 minutes. Folks who have been consuming the Standard American Diet for many years, may not have much of a release during their initial treatment, even if it lasts an hour, but may require a series of colonics to accomplish removal of the hardened material that has built up over time. (Study the effects of an acidic physiology.) You are 'in charge' of the session, and should you feel uncomfortable for any reason, you may simply request that it stop.

We use the Aquanet EC 2000 colonic irrigation machine. This device is German engineered, and FDA and UL approved.
Not only does it triple filter the irrigating water, it sanitizes itself during and after each use. It's safety features include a water pressure lock that will not allow infusing water to reach above 2 psi. Your treatment will include the use of a disposable rectal speculum with disposable water and waste lines. The Aquanet is a 'closed' colonic system, which means that it is closed to the air, and all evacuating material is contained within patent tubing, so that there is no mess or odor.

Fruits and veggies help prepare the colon, too.

We may use gentle abdominal massage to assist the colon to release its contents. Some clients like to perform this maneuver on themselves, while others prefer to forego this option. Deep breathing is used to assist the body at this time, and aromatherapy is another tool that may be employed to stimulate peristalsis, the colon's natural wavelike motions. Foot reflexology, as well as lymphatic pressure point therapies are used to provoke intestinal releases as well.
