Colon hydrotherapy, as well as colon irrigation and colonics, all refer to the same process. The best way to describe colon hydrotherapy with a simple explanation is that it is a mechanical process that flushes warm water into the colon with the objective of cleansing and balancing. The following paragraphs will briefly describe what colon hydrotherapy involves, as well as some of the many benefits of colon cleansing.

Colon hydrotherapy is a colon cleansing procedure, that while can be uncomfortable, it should never be painful. It is a colon cleanse method that fuses warm water into the colon in order to remove waste and fecal back up from the colon. Colon hydrotherapy is commonly performed with a machine called the LIBBE, which is FDA registered and approved. A small plastic tube is inserted into the rectum for this colon cleansing process. Filtered water is then flushed through the colon. When you feel full, you will be directed to push out the water, or have a bowel movement, which usually goes around the tube, and down through an opening in the table. The client is generally covered at all times, to make the process less intimidating. Most of the time, the therapist does not even need to be in the room during the process. There is normally a call button that can be pushed at any time for assistance.

The benefits of colonics, or colon hydrotherapy are vast! Once you cleanse your colon of harmful toxins and wastes, you will begin to get an overall better feeling about yourself. A full colon cleanse will help to relieve ailments such as:
