| Also known as Colonic Hydrotherapy or Colon Therapy, this practice was reputedly used in Ancient Egypt, China and India, indeed enemas were recorded as early as 1500 B.C., in an Egyptian medical document called the "Eber Papyrus". Hippocrates, Pare and Galen also advanced the use of enema therapy. The popularity of colon therapy reached its apex in the 1920's, 30's and 40's. At that time, colon irrigation machines were commonly seen, and regularly used as a standard practice, in hospitals and Doctor's offices. But in the ensuing 50 to 60 years the public's use of, and access to, this valuable health treatment greatly decreased. Your treatment will involve the taking of your case history followed by an explanation of the procedure. The colonic itself takes 30-45 minutes during which time water will be gently introduced into the colon via the rectum whilst your therapist uses special massage techniques to stimulate the release of stored matter. Your modesty is preserved at all times. The practitioner may advise beneficial supplements and/or dietary changes to further enhance your treatment. No fasting or special measures are necessary prior to a first treatment. Colonic Irrigation is used because waste material, especially that which has remained in the colon for some time, (i.e. impacted faeces, dead cellular tissue, accumulated mucous, parasites, worms, etc.), pose several problems. First this material is quite toxic (poisonous). These poisons can re-enter and circulate in the blood stream making us feel ill, tired or weak. Second, impacted materials impair the colon's ability to assimilate minerals and bacteria-produced vitamins. Finally, a build-up of material on the colon wall can inhibit muscular action causing sluggish bowel movements and constipation resulting in further illness.
