COLONIC IRRIGATION LONDON
What is Colonic Irrigation?
Colonic irrigation (as well known as colonic Hydrotherapy) consists of slowly introducing warm purified water into the colon via a small tube. When the colon is filled, the water is allowed to flow out, bringing with it any loose waste (process called colon detox, natural cleanse or sometime even colon cleanse). This process is carried out a number of times during the treatment, which lasts for 1 hour. This is coupled with special abdominal massage techniques and the result is a gentle flushing of the colon, and loosening of old waste matter. This allows the colon to hydrate, cleanse, detoxify and tone internally. The treatment is gentle, safe hygienic and very effective.
Before your treatment commences you will be asked to complete a consultation form this allows the practitioner to asses what you are looking to achieve from the treatment and also to make her aware of any medical problems you may have.
Most individuals are able to have colonic irrigation but there are some medical conditions which prevent us from carrying out the treatment this is listed on the form and will be discus with you in person. If you are concerned about any of these or have any other medical condition you think we should be aware about please call us to consult out advisor.
All treatments are carried out in a private treatment room and the client is covered at all times, comfort and privacy is of utmost importance and always respected. The highest levels of professionalism and hygiene are observed at all times with single use disposable supplies for all procedures.
Colonic irrigation is non habit forming helping to improve the tone and function of the colon enhancing good health. The practitioner will advise you on how many treatments are required depending on your case history given at the first consultation and what you wish to achieve from the treatment. During a consultation your medical history, diet and all related matters of health are discussed and a plan of your treatment and goals agreed which is designed to give you a healthier lifestyle. The treatment regime is discussed after the first session this may vary from a one off treatment to a series of treatments over a period of weeks or months. Each client is assessed individually and at each subsequent treatment by the practitioner who will discuss any diet and lifestyle changes as well as suggesting any nutritional supplements which will be of benefit.
We offer all our clients a complimentary probiotic supplement with a glass of water post the colonic.
You are able to leave the centre straight after your treatment but are very welcome to sit and relax in our comfortable waiting area with a magazine and a cup of herbal tea for as long as you wish.
HB Health of Knightsbridge use a gravity fed system for colonic irrigation. This is our preferred method as the filtered water is naturally gravity fed into the colon. It provides greater control of the treatment. We do not use electronic pumped systems so you receive a controlled gentle comfortable treatment from the practitioner not a machine. You will also receive colon massage throughout the treatment for more comfort and better results. The massage will allow the practitioner to feel for any particular areas of tension, bloating or impaction and helps the colon to release waste and relax the client.
Colonic Irrigation Benefits:
The Health Education Council, National Advisory Committee on Nutrition Education reported that 85% of the population have slow bowel movements with as many as 40% of the population in the United Kingdom being regularly constipated. When the colon does not function properly, other elliminating organs (e.g., skin, kidneys, lungs and lymph) become overloaded and subsequently they too become affected.
Advocates of Colonic hydrotherapy believe that it will help cleanse the body (natural cleanse)and take strain off the vital organs. In this way, it may well assist the action of the other therapies or dietary changes. Indeed, the Colonic International Assocation recommends that Colonic Hydrotherapy "is best used as a complementary technique to other therapies. By improving elimination, response to dietary, homœopathic, herbal, manipulative and other therapies are markedly improved."
