The colon is designed to completely and naturally remove digestive and cellular waste from the body. Unfortunately, the modern diet of cooked, processed and devitalised foods combined with low water intake, sedentary lifestyles and stress, has contributed to an epidemic of digestive disorders. These include constipation, diarrhoea, gas and bloating, diverticulitis, colitis, Crohn’s disease, spastic colon, and irritable bowel syndrome, to name a few. It is not uncommon to hear of bowel transit times of anywhere from three days to two weeks! The buildup of waste matter within the colon can lead to auto-intoxication and overgrowth of yeast (candida albicans), prevent proper absorption of nutrients through the intestinal wall, and hinder the muscular movement of the colon, leading to sluggish peristalsis (the muscle contractions that move matter through your colon) and chronic constipation. A colonic can help to loosen up and remove impacted waste matter from the colon, as well as improve and even restore the healthy muscular action of the colon.
Of course, you don’t have to be suffering from severe digestive disorders to benefit from a colonic. Even clients with no reported digestive issues have been amazed at what has been removed from their colon, such as mucus, worms and undigested food. Clients have reported benefits such as better sleep, clearer skin, less gas and bloating and more regular bowel movements following their treatments.
