Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon Hydrotherapy (also known as colonic irrigation) is an ancient method where warm purified water gently cleanses the colon to remove waste matter, rehydrate and exercise the bowel. This allows vital nutrients to be absorbed more easily.
It can also help to re-tone and reshape the colon.
It is a safe and effective method of cleaning the colon when performed by a qualified practitioner. Most clients find it rejuvenating with a feeling of lightness.

About Your Treatment
Your first appointment lasts up to 75 mins (depending on therapist), the treatment itself takes around 40-45 mins and the rest of the time includes consultation and getting dressed. Follow up sessions are usually 60 mins.

A gravity-fed system is used to gently introduce the flow of water into the colon.
The water pressure is carefully controlled and is in fact lower than is normally generated during a bowel movement.

The therapist will be in the room throughout the entire session.

Where appropriate during the session, the therapist applies gentle Abdominal Massage and may use other specific techniques to help you feel relaxed and to assist with the elimination. Coffee enema is available on request or herbal enema implants, depending on the needs of the client and to enhance the detoxification process.

The equipment used is disposable ensuring you of the highest standards of cleanliness.

There is no odour, and every effort will be made to be discreet, protecting your safety and dignity at all times.

Who is it for?
Almost anyone can benefit from a Colon Hydrotherapy treatment, whether they are currently experiencing digestive problems or not. It can work to keep your bowels healthy and can also provide relief from the symptoms of a wide range of digestive disorders, including IBS, constipation, bloating and wind.
How many treatments do you need?
Every person is different and there is no standard number of treatments that are recommended. However, in our experience we have found a course of 2 to 3 treatments over an initial 2-to-4 weeks has produced the best results, with a couple of maintenance treatments throughout the year.

On booking your first appointment (which will need to be booked at least 24 hours before the treatment – when booking with Carey), clients must complete a Health & Lifestyle questionnaire. This will be emailed directly from your therapist, please check your spam folder if you don’t see it in your inbox.
The form should be filled out prior to your first visit in order to help the therapist to understand your state of health and assess your requirements and whether the treatment is appropriate for your individual health needs.
