Colon Hydrotherapy

The History of Colonics

Enemas have been popular throughout history, dating back to 600 BC. Hippocrates (the father of medicine) was also known to encourage enemas. It was in 1600 AD that Pare offered the first distinction between colonic hydrotherapy (otherwise known as irrigation) and enemas. Since then they have been heralded as a valuable treatment by eminent physicians such as Dr John Kellogg (1800’s) and Dr Norman Walker (1900’s).  Up until recent times, colonics were administered in hospitals before operations. 

Colonic Irrigation involves using filtered water introduced into the body in order to clean out debris and waste from the colon or large intestine. 

cleanses, tones and exercises the colon, improving muscle contraction
re-educates the colon helping it return to its more original form
can help to balance the micro-flora ecosystem by removing both good and bad bacteria
can increase the absorption of nutrients through the colon wall
decreases the enterotoxins from re-entering the body (leaky gut syndrome)
It decreases the risk of colon cancer by regular health maintenance
It improves the overall health of the body, including the immune system
Encourages the expulsion of parasites and other negative creatures living within the gut

Reported benefits from a course of colonics

Well-being sensation from the elimination of mucus, undigested food fragments, gases, bacterial toxins and biological aging (detoxification process)
Lightness sensation following the disappearance of the pressure on the intestine by nearby organs
Intestinal peristaltism stimulation, therefore assisting in a reduction in chronic constipation
Relief of inflammatory states and oedemas (swellings) due to the elimination of irritating substances (toxins)
Slimming effects due to the colon’s reduced toxidity
Possible relief of gynaecological troubles such as cystitis, ovaritis, dysmenorrhoea, endometriosis
Improved liver and immune system function.
Possible prevention of degenerative diseases
Detoxicating and rejuvenating effect due to the cleansing of toxic substances which cause organic intoxication and biological ageing

Over the past three years I have performed over 650 colonics to a diverse range of people.  I am a member of the Association of Registered Colonic Hydrotherapists (ARCH) and I am also IACT certified.  http://www.colonic-association.org/

Currently I only offer this service at Balance the Clinic in Chelsea London.  Balance is one of the original places in London that offered colonics and in my opinion, is also the best in London.   They have three treatment rooms that offer flexibility for timings and are open 7 days a week.
