Average food transit time is 18 to 24 hours in a healthy colon. We have seen clients who have bowel movements every two to seven days! Even once a day may indicate constipation, depending on food consumption.
In America, over two million people every year are diagnosed with colon disease. Remember the saying: "Death begins in the colon?” Colon cancer is second only to heart disease as the most frequent cause of death today, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is also on the rise.
Question: What can a colonic really do for me?

Answer: Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe, effective method of removing waste from the large intestine without the use of drugs. By introducing filtered and temperature-regulated water into the colon, the waste is softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis. This process is repeated a few times during a session.
Colon Hydrotherapy is best used in combination with adequate nutrient and fluid intake as well as exercise. Today's sophisticated technology promotes both the safety and sanitation of this popular cleansing practice.

3. Reshape the colon: The gentle action of the water, coupled with the massage techniques of the colon therapist, helps eliminate bulging pockets of waste and narrowed spastic constrictions, finally enabling the colon to resume its natural state.
4. Stimulate reflex points: Reflex points connect every system of the body to the colon. A colonic stimulates these points, thereby benefiting all body organs.
