Frequently Asked Questions
What is colon hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy, also known as a colonic, is a gentle cleansing of the colon using warm, filtered water to help remove accumulated waste, gas, and mucus.
Is the procedure painful?
Most people do not find the procedure painful. Some may experience mild cramping or a sensation of fullness during the session, which typically subsides after the treatment.
How long does a session take?
A typical session lasts about 45 minutes to 1 hour, including time for consultation and preparation.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Avoid heavy meals at least 2 hours before your session.
Drink plenty of water the day before and the day of the treatment.
Eating light, plant-based meals leading up to your session can help optimize the results.
After treatment, consume fiber-rich foods and probiotic enriched foods.
Is colon hydrotherapy safe?
Yes, when performed by a certified and experienced practitioner using sterilized equipment, colon hydrotherapy is generally considered safe for most healthy individuals.
Will one session be enough?
While one session can help relieve occasional constipation and bloating, a series of sessions may be recommended for a deeper cleanse or chronic issues. Your practitioner can suggest a plan based on your health goals.
Will I be able to go back to normal activities afterward?
Yes. Most people feel lighter, refreshed, and energized after a session and can resume normal activities right away.
Who should avoid colon hydrotherapy?
People with certain health conditions such as severe hemorrhoids, recent abdominal surgery, heart disease, kidney disease, or gastrointestinal conditions (e.g., Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis) should consult a healthcare provider before undergoing treatment.
How often should I get colon hydrotherapy?
This varies by individual. Some people come in seasonally for general detox, while others may benefit from a short series. Your therapist can tailor recommendations to your needs.
What are the possible side effects?
Mild side effects like bloating or fatigue may occur temporarily. Drinking water and resting can help alleviate these symptoms quickly.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Colon hydrotherapy can be safe for pregnant women, especially in the second trimester, but written approval from your OB/GYN physician is required before treatment. This ensures the procedure is appropriate for your individual pregnancy and health status.
