Colonic Irrigation
Also known as Colonic Hydrotherapy or Colon Therapy, this practice was reputedly
used in Ancient Egypt, China and India. However, the method common in the West
today has its origins in 19th Century European spas.
What to Expect
A treatment will begin with a detailed case study, and an explanation of the
procedure. The client is then asked to remove all clothing and wear a gown provided
by the therapist. The client then lies down on a treatment table and warm, purified
water is introduced into the colon via the rectum, the therapist will use special
massage techniques during the procedure to stimulate the release of stored faecal
matter. The colonic will take between 30-45 minutes. Herbal and probiotic implants
may be used and advice will also be given on dietary changes to enhance the treatment.
Advice will also be given on how many sessions will be necessary, and a colon
cleansing programme may be recommended to support the treatment.
To be registered, a therapist must have satisfactory training in anatomy and
physiology, and considerable training and experience in a body based therapy.
Subsequently they will have been trained at one of the approved and inspected
Colonic Hydrotherapy training colleges. The premises of therapists are inspected
prior to their admission to the Register, and these are periodically re-inspected.
Most therapists have experience in treating such conditions as chronic fatigue,
digestive disorders, headaches, skin problems and back pain.
