Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy Josephine Goffe-Gardner, RN, ND
People continually ask me about the benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy and what will it do for them. Usually, I start by explaining that a typical American diet (high-fat, low-fiber, refined junk foods including flour, meat, fat, sugar, alcohol, preservatives and toxins) is the primary reason the colon becomes so unhealthy. Toxins generated from accumulated waste matter in the colon are responsible for many body imbalances, which can lead to very serious weight and health problems. The average American diet includes a fraction of the fiber foods necessary to promote eliminating toxins from the body. Poor diet, improper food combining and lack of dietary fiber make maintaining a healthy colon virtually impossible. Virtually all weight challenges can be traced to imbalances in the colon and other parts of the digestive tract as either a primary contributor, or a secondary problem. This accentuates slow down in other critical body systems like the endocrine and circulatory systems. Toxins are transported into the circulatory system, causing deterioration to vital bodily functions. The body becomes unable to properly metabolize food. A classic sign of colon toxicity and one of women’s most common complaints about their figures-is the potbelly. This condition may be very simple to correct by adopting an improved health regimen. A distended abdomen, however, may indicate a more serious problem and the presence of a fecal ball in the colon, which gathers more coatings the longer it remains. For many people, the signs of colon dysfunction are so much a part of their everyday living experience that they do not suspect their health is in danger. It is generally believed, Colon Hydrotherapy is the Rolls Royce of colon cleansing. There are four steps to Colon Hydrotherapy: 1. Colon Cleansing: By cleansing the colon, toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Even debris built up over a long period is gently removed in a series of treatments. Your colon can begin to function again as nature intended. In this sense, a colonic is a rejuvenation treatment. 2. Exercise Colon Muscles: Build-up of toxic debris weakens the colon and impairs its functioning. Gently filling and emptying the colon improves peristalsis (the muscular contraction performed by the colon to naturally move material). 3. Reshape the Colon: When problem conditions exist in the colon they often alter its shape, leading to more challenges. The gentle action of water, coupled with massage techniques of the colon therapist, help eliminate bulging pockets of waste and narrowed, spastic constrictions. This action enables the colon to return to its natural state.
4. Stimulate Reflex Points: The colon connects to every system and organ of the body by reflex points. The colonic stimulates these points thereby affecting the corresponding body parts in a beneficial way. |
