Also known as colonic irrigation, colon cleansing, or a colonic, colon hydrotherapy is a form of alternative medicine that is used to cleanse, restore, and maintain optimum colon health without the use of drugs.  The process is simple.   Warm, filtered, gravity-fed water flows gently into the colon by way of a sterile, disposable rectal tube. The introduction of water into the large intestine gently coaxes the body to release built-up fecal matter, toxins and gas through the action of natural peristalsis (the wave-like muscular action that pushes the contents through the bowel); the process that is repeated throughout the session. Colon cleansing is a gentle, safe, and effective way to help the body eliminate fecal matter and stored toxins.
