The words strike fear into most people that don't understand this unique and beneficial health practice. Imagine the body as a car. With the right fuel and water, it takes anywhere you want to go, enabling you to get on with your day to day life, vital component in this world. Now imagine putting the wrong fuelin that car, or forgetting to put water in the radiator. The garage you take it to would just look at you and sigh, telling you it's clogged up or burnt out.
Your body is like this car. Unless you are one of the few who live an organic life, your body is taking in chemicals you don't even know about, every meal you eat.
Take the average ready meal or that quick can of vegetable soup you did for lunch. If you read the ingredients on the back, over 60% of the "extras" are things you've never heard of, but the manufactures are legitimately allowed to add. Flavour enhancers, mono sodium glutamate, Xanthium Gum, stabilisers, citric acid to name a few, but over time these additives clog up the system.
Regular use of refined carbohydrates and lack of fibre in the diet increases the transit time of the bowel waste. Which literally means, you are carrying waste around with you that putrefies and stops the whole body working. Headaches, nausea, sluggishness, fatigue, can all be complaints related to constipation, as the body's internal system is poisoned by its own bacterial waste.
The alimentary tract is much like a sophisticated exhaust system, allowing the body to receive food to make fuel to drive the body. When the digestive system and more importantly the colon is clogged up, then the status of the bowel is enquired about as a matter of routine and a laxative or enema is prescribed.
Colonic hydrotherapy is not a cure-all, but an important complimentary therapy in the overall healthcare of the client. A standard enema involves the injection of water (one way) into the colon, which is retained and evacuated by the patient. Colonic hydrotherapy is instrument controlled continual bathing of the colon for cleansing and therapeutic purposes.Intestinal cleansing is a therapeutic measure which addresses the cause or source of the problem.
