Colon Therapy
You don't need to get sick to get better
Research increasingly shows that our lifestyles affect our health. Prevention has become even more important in the face of today's health issues and more of us are choosing to recognize our self-responsibility for health and well-being. Colon hydrotherapy can be an important, preventative treatment for a number of health problems.
What is Colon Therapy - Hydrotherapy?
Colon (or large bowel) hydrotherapy, also known as colon irrigation is a gentle internal bath that helps deep cleanse the colon of toxins, gas, accumulated faecal matter, chemicals & muco protein build up. Accumulated waste material from improper diet and lifestyles produce toxins which impact on the body's natural ability to self heal, lowering the body's defense against disease and infection. Unlike regular use of laxatives, or enemas, colonic hydrotherapy is not habit-forming and improves muscle tone.
What does the Colon or Large Intestine do?
In the large colon the final phase of digestion occurs and ultimately elimination. It is responsible for some absorption of nutrients and minerals (from food) for the body to use. The build up of waste on the large intestine wall make it difficult for this absorption to occur. When the colon is not functioning properly, effects can be felt in other associated organs. Many health authorities believe that for a person to be in optimum health, their colon must be functioning normally.
Why have Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon toxicity can be the underlying cause of many commonly reported health problems today with our exposure to thousands of chemicals and synthetic substances in everyday life (via air, food, water, metabolic wastes, synthetic and natural drugs), almost no-one can completely avoid being affected.
Benefits
Colon hydrotherapy as well as reducing the toxins in the bowel also can improve muscle tone and facilitates peristaltic movement in the bowel, which is beneficial to a sluggish bowel and helps with constipation. Other health issues it can assist in the treatment of are:
Thrush
Bad breath
Inflammation of the colon (colitis)
Flatulence & relief from bloating
Diarrhea & irritable bowel
Most people quickly experience mental clarity after colon therapy and often experience more energy and a greater feeling of well-being.
Bowel Health
Types of food that create bowel problems are fatty fried, processed, overcooked food with chemicals and /or additives, sugar, caffeine, too much red meat, etc. As many of us know, these foods comprise much of the average person's diet. These foods are often referred to as DEAD FOOD - thick, pasty, glue-like substances that stick to the walls of the intestine and the colon may lose the ability to process vital nutrients, absorb water and eliminate waste matter from the body.
One way to facilitate better intestinal health is by choosing unprocessed & whole foods: lots of raw fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, fish, meat and dairy products.
The Procedure
Colon hydrotherapy is the gentle infusion of water into the bowel via an applicator that is attached to an enclosed system. The client lies comfortably on a bed during the procedure which is hygienic and each session lasts approximately 45 minutes, but we allow 1 hour per visit. The water softens waste matter in the bowel and allows this to be drawn away and taken out of the bowel down the attached tube. The treatment is totally private and all clients are assured of professional, sympathetic attention.
How many visits are recommended?
To start with a client may require 2-4 sessions to cleanse the colon over a 2-4 week period. After this a repeat of 2 sessions can be done every 6 months to maintain inner cleanliness and prevent health problems occurring and a greater sense of well being!
Cautions
Colon Therapy is not recommended if you have blood in your stool, severe haemorrhoids, abdominal hernia, heart disease, amoebic dysentery, gastrointestinal cancer, tumours of the large intestine or rectum, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis or recent colon surgery (less then three months).
If you are in the first or third trimester of pregnancy, Colon Therapy is not recommended because it may induce labour.
COLON THERAPY IS NOT KNOWN TO REACT WITH ANY DRUGS OR MEDICATION.

Massage
Why we need professional Massages
Stress Reduction:
Massage is a great way to reduce the stress in your life. Not only are they physical effects very soothing, but also there is often reduced anxiety and increased feelings of well-being. Massage has been proven to reduce levels of “stress hormones” that can be hazardous to your health.
Pain Relief:
Muscular aches and pains, and some nerve impingements are often reduced or eliminated through massage therapy. In addition, when combined with multiple styles of massage therapy like Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT), Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy and even Reiki, those with chronic pain may get long-lasting relief. Pain relief from conditions such as chronic low back pain, fibromyalgia, lupus, myofascial pain syndrome, migraines and other headaches, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and arthritis is common.
Less Soreness:
Muscle soreness from your fitness activities, called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), can be decreased with massage
Improved Circulation:
The circulation of the blood and lymph are generally improved, helping to eliminate toxins, improve immune function, feel great, and promote healthy bodily function. This is true of all massage techniques but especially with Swedish massage and Hot Stone Therapy.
Improved Flexibility:
Massage can enhance tissue elasticity, flexibility and help increase the range of motion (mobility) of your joints. Even people with some forms of arthritis can receive this benefit—ask your doctor.
Better Sleep:
Many people sleep more restfully after receiving massage therapy. The benefit continues even days after massage therapy.
Reduced Anxiety and Depression:
Studies by the Touch Research Institute of the University of Miami reports reduced anxiety and feelings of depression with regular massage therapy.
