Why cleanse the colon?
The foods we eat today are over-processed and do not have sufficient fiber to promote peristalsis which empties our colon efficiently. The use of white flour, meats, fatty foods, sugar, salt, colorings and additives and the lack of sufficient fruits and vegetables in our daily diets creats stagnation, constipation, diarrhea and many other toxic conditions.
When the colon is cleansed, over a series of treatments, years of poor food choices can be offset by giving the intestines a chance to clean themselves out, restore peristalsis, and begin proper nutrient absorption. This process is aided significantly by better food choices in our daily menus as well.
There are many benefits derived from colonics. Besides cleansing and restoring the muscle tone of the colon, and the entire system, colonics rehydrate the body, which helps other organs (kidneys, liver, etc.) function more efficiently.
What is a colonic, exactly?
Using purified water, at various temperatures, a small, lubricated tube is inserted into the rectum. Water is slowly allowed in until fullness occurs. The water is then released out, under its own pressure, taking with it the wastes in the colon. This gentle process is repeated for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, with alternating water temperatures that stimulate the most efficient cleansing of the colon area. This process can be observed through a clear elimination tube. All pieces used during this procedure are disposable.
A good colonic is the equivalent of 20 to 30 bowel movements, so it may take a few days for the bowel to eliminate again after a colonic. This is normal. After having a colonic, people report a strong feeling of well-being and lightness. Along with changes in diet and exercise, a series of colonic irrigations can contribute to better health and increased energy. The effect of colonics can be seen in better eliminations, wieght loss, clearer skin and better energy levels. As the body acclimates itself to the colonic process, more toxic material is removed with each procedure.
During fasting, toxins accumulate more quickly in the bloodstream, and colonics can assist in speeding up the elimination of accumulated toxins from the colon, improving both the comfort and efficiency of the fast.
