My Initial Impression of Colon Hydrotherapy
I have a friend who swears by her monthly coffee colonic because she believes what many alternative medicine proponents tout about the benefits of colon hydrotherapy, or colonics, as referred to by some.  There is the belief that colon hydrotherapy may aid in the treatment of some cancers if coffee is used as the liquid for the treatment.  Apparently, the colon has a special circulatory system between parts of the colon and the liver and when toxic waste sits in the colon too long, toxicity leaks into the bloodstream.  It’s a theory; it’s not proven, nevertheless, colon hydrotherapy is promoted as a way to reduce the risk of cancer when coffee is used.

There are other theories that claim colon hydrotherapy is a gentle internal massage for the colon.  Purified water is believed to eliminate stored fecal matter, gas, mucus and toxic substances from the colon.  Some parts of the world include the therapy as part of a comprehensive spa experience.  One spa advertises their 60-minute colon hydrotherapy is conducted in a private room with an advanced ventilator, soft music, and a relaxing atmosphere.  Makes you just want to run out and buy a session, doesn’t it?

Colon Hydrotherapy Method & What the Manufacturer Says They Will Do
Colon hydrotherapy is performed on a specially designed hydro-bed that is equipped with an opening below for “debris”.  A technician will explain the process before beginning a session.  It is emphasized that the plastic tubes that are used are individually wrapped for individual use. The pencil-width tube is pushed up your rectum and then water is “introduced” into the colon.  The technician will massage your abdominal region while the water is allowed to sit and eventually flush your colon of toxic waste.

Colon Hydrotherapy is claimed to not only clean the colon, but the liver as well.  It may improve muscle tone in the colon over time, as long as the therapy is continued.  The therapy is also claimed to provide relief from chronic illnesses and help to eliminate bacteria, toxins, gas, parasites, and cellular debris.

The Main Drawbacks to Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon Hydrotherapy sessions can be expensive and the continued use of the therapy is required to sustain the benefits.  The purported benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy are much debated.

Would I try Colon Hydrotherapy?
I am more inclined to stay committed to eating healthy foods, drinking plenty of water, and exercising to sustain my health.  I do like the idea of keeping the digestive system clean, all 27 feet of it, and for that I rely on herbal ingredients that not only promote regular bowel habits, they replenish the nutrients and probiotics necessary for sustained digestive health.
