Colon Hydrotherapy, Colon Irrigation or Colonic is a process of cleaning the large intestine using around 60 litres of low pressure water to flush out toxins, wastes and recondition weak intestinal muscles. This process makes many people as the tube that is used needs to be inserted into the rectum to allow for the water to flow. This is an alternative therapy which is gaining popularity for maintaining colon health and even weight loss. Many Hollywood actors practice in regular colonic irrigation such as Demi Moore, Ben Affleck and Goldie Hawn.
Why do you need to have a Colonic?
Our liver has a function to dump all of its toxins into the colon for elimination. Our colon is usually a host to many toxins, waste materials and parasites that may have accumulated for many years. The collection of these things, such as impacted feces, dead tissues, yeast overgrowth, mucus and worms is toxic to our system and is usually re-circulated if not expelled from the body.
Material built-up on the colon wall can weaken the muscles and cause constipation, sluggish bowel movement and even difficulty in weight loss. Parasite in the colon or intestine such as hookworm and tapeworms (various types) can breed and spread into other parts of the body, causing ailments like malnutrition, diarrhea, bloody stools, pain in lower abdomen, weight loss, nausea and anemia., stomach cramp, heart attack, asthma, eye pain, insomnia, rashes, blindness, paralysis or even death.
How does Colonic help in reconditioning weak intestinal muscles? When low pressure water is introduced in the colon in large amounts (40-80 liters), it expands and contracts the muscle in a rhythmic fashion, therefore exercising them. This is one body part that we can't exercise on our own! Usually, the patient is required to introduce more fruits and vegetables into the diet, as well as fiber and water to help flush it regularly and relieve constipation caused by hardened stool and weak muscles.
Another benefit of Colonics is the improvement of our skin health. Because the toxins have been eliminated from our bodies, our skin now receives nutrients and clean oxygen. Any blemishes or pimples will clear up and we will get back the healthy glow we had as children. Other organs are also relieved from the extra work of cleaning out the toxins such as our liver, lungs and kidneys.
How does cleansing the colon help with weight loss? Many people are not aware of this fact. Our body has its own detoxification system but we are ingesting more toxins than we can expel. This is causing toxic built-up in our bodies. The body reacts by accumulating fat around the organs to protect them against these invaders. In this instant, regular exercise and diet alone will not be enough to help eliminate the fats, especially in the stomach and lower body region, especially for women. Stomach fat is dangerous to our health and should be the first priority in fat loss. Once our colon has been cleansed, it makes the body easier to lose the organ fat (intramuscular) because our system is efficient and healthy once again.
Besides Colon Hydrotherapy Cleansing, you can get herbal treatments in the form of supplements and herbal teas which have their own kit for detoxification. However, not everyone will benefit from one source of treatment. We need to cleanse our liver and gallbladder as well. There are products that have a comprehensive cleansing kit but as everyone is different, what works for one person may not work for another. If you don't have any idea on which products to buy, you might be interested to look at this site by The Health News Journal. This page compares 21 different colon cleansers and rates them in different categories. It is very useful. Find the best one that suits your needs and budget and try them for the duration advised. If one doesn't work, you may need to try another until you find one that's comfortable for regular use.
If this is a new awareness for you, take your time to study the benefits of cleansing and make the necessary changes in your lifestyle, including changing your eating habits slowly and introducing exercise to strengthen your overall body.
