COLONIC FAQs

Colon Hydrotherapy (Colonic Irrigation) is a method of removing waste from the large intestine without the use of drugs. By introducing warm, filtered water into the colon, waste is softened and loosed, resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis.

Colon Hydrotherapy is not a cure for any disease, ailment or health conditions, but a valuable procedure used to assist, the body for a wide variety of different colon-related conditions. By re-toning the bowel wall and improving colon functions, the entire body is able to function more efficiently.

The colon has been referred to as the sewer system of the body. It is the place where we store the waste material that most of us would rather not think about. A healthy colon produces a vitamins B and K, as well as absorbs water. A healthy digestive tract helps support a healthy immune system.

The LIBBE Colon Hydrotherapy Open System is an FDA-registered Class II medical device for colon cleansing. 

A colonic session is a comfortable experience for many people.

The techniques utilized allow a small amount of water to flow into the colon gently stimulating the colon’s natural peristaltic action to release softened waste. A small nozzle / rectal tube is gently and easily inserted in privacy. Nozzles / rectal tubes are ‘size of a pencil’, single use, and disposed of after use.  The inflow of water and the release of waste may be repeated many times. During the session, most upper clothing can be kept on – You will be draped to always ensure your modesty. Your dignity is always maintained.  A trained colon hydro therapist is always nearby to monitor and provide client assistance and comfort as needed.

Only in the case of an impacted colon you may experience a slight discomfort. Some cramping may occur as the colon contracts to expel waste. Once the major impaction is removed, you will find the session pleasant and relaxing. The installed Odor Exhaust System insures that the session room and entire practice remains odor free. 

When scheduling, there is an online pre-questionnaire that is filled out. We check in advance if there are any contraindications, that is anything that would deem you unsuitable for the treatment – if this is the case, a phone number is provided to call the office before moving forward with an appointment and service payment. 

 It is advisable to refrain from eating or drinking anything two hours prior to your scheduled appointment. This is to avoid feelings of nausea, as well as ensuring maximum comfort during your Colon Hydrotherapy session.
