A series of twelve over ten weeks is recommended. It is recommended two the first week (one today/one tomorrow), two the second week (one today/one tomorrow), and one a week for the next eight weeks. The reason for that is the human body is exceptionally smart. When we clean out the colon, the body starts pulling waste out of the tissue and putting them into the blood stream. The waste heads for the liver, then back to the colon. Therefore, the second session on the second day is necessary so that the digested waste is eliminated rather than reabsorbed. The same reason applies to the following two the second week. After the first four, we then recommend one a week for eight weeks. This slows detoxification to a gentler-tolerable rate.
A healthy colon is essential to a healthy body. A Colon Hydrotherapy session has the potential to cleanse a large portion of the whole colon, or large intestine, releasing mucus, gas, and fecal impactions during repeated fills and empties. Unlike enemas and laxatives, Colon Hydrotherapy is not physically addictive. Our cleansing method seems to have a beneficial toning effect while also hydrating and enhancing absorption rather than the possible stretching and fatiguing consequences of enemas or laxatives.
Colon hydrotherapy is a hygienic, water-based process that gently rinses waste from the large intestine using an open system. Sessions are professionally supervised for comfort and safety. A soothing flow of purified warm water is instilled gently into the colon through a small disposable nozzle (size of a pencil).
Yes. All tubing and nozzles are sterile and single-use. Our equipment is FDA approved and meets the highest standards. The LIBBE system is gravity-fed (SAFE!), has an Ultra-Violet Water Purification System, and automatic temperature shutoff. Every session is performed by trained, I-ACT certified hydrotherapists.
We recommend avoiding heavy meals two to three hours before your appointment and drinking plenty of water the day prior. A day or two before your session, we suggest drinking lots of filtered or distilled water, herbal teas, and fresh juices; along with eating fresh, organic and seasonal vegetables, fruits, whole grains, soups, and lighter proteins. Minimize your consumption of dairy, sugar, wheat, and red meat.
Most clients report feeling lighter, refreshed, and more energetic. Some may experience mild fatigue or increased elimination as the body continues cleansing. We believe that as you release toxins from your body, you may become more relaxed. You might also find that your cravings are diminished or eliminated while, at the same time, you may sense a heightened awareness of how different foods affect you.
Yes. Colon Hydrotherapy may be prescribed by physicians as preparation prior to surgery and intestinal diagnostic procedures (i.e. barium enema, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy). Ask your Physician for a prescription for sessions as needed or contact us for a Physician referral.
Unlike enemas and laxatives, Colon Hydrotherapy is not physically addictive. With an enema, water enters the body from the rectum under gravity force, distending and weakening the lower section of the colon. Laxatives pull water from other parts of the body and over-stimulate the colon's peristaltic function, weakening the colon muscles. Our cleansing method seems to have a beneficial toning effect while also hydrating and enhancing absorption.
