Colon Hydrotherapy
Overall wellness starts with good gut health
From indigestion to Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other more serious concerns, a growing number of people have gut issues. Gut health is vital for overall health, and gut issues are the basis for all chronic illnesses.
Looking after your colon is a vital part of looking after your general health. Just like a regular professional dental clean, the colon needs some extra attention to effectively clear accumulative toxins and debris. Of course, the colon is the major pathway responsible for eliminating toxins from our body, but a regular additional clean greatly improves its natural ability to do so.
What to expect
What to Expect During a Session
Our gentle approach cleanses the colon without harsh chemicals, but rather through the natural approach of a gentle massage followed by body temperature filtered water to cleanse the colon from any debris. It can then properly cleanse the digestive tract of any waste. The therapy will also stimulate rest and optimal digestion. If you experience mood or sleep disorders, bloating, headaches or hormonal imbalance, you might benefit from a colon treatment.
How Colon Hydrotherapy works
Conducted by our Certified Colon Hydrotherapist, Colon Hydrotherapy starts with a gentle massage and concludes with a Gerson Coffee Enema. It’s a safe and effective method of removing waste build-up from the large intestine without harsh chemicals or drugs. By introducing filtered, temperature-regulated water into the colon, waste is softened and loosened, resulting in healthy bowel evacuation.
Colon Hydrotherapy also stimulates the Parasympathetic Nervous System — the system for rest and digestion. The colon’s overall function is enhanced, as is its ability to effectively release toxins and waste from the bowel.
An integral part of our Digest program
Closed Colon Hydrotherapy is an integral part of our Digest program, which has been designed to gently stimulate your detox pathways. The idea is to stimulate and enhance your cells and organs to do what they are designed to do naturally. Our approach is gentle and ensures that the body heals itself naturally when its ready.

FAQs
What is the difference between Open and Closed Colon Hydrotherapy?
In Closed, a Therapist explains procedure and does rectal insertion. An abdominal massage is performed and the digestive system is explained. We then stimulate a process called ‘peristalsis’ — a series of wave-like muscle contractions that moves food down the digestive tract. Hot and cold treatments designed to tone the colon are explained. The Therapist remains with you throughout the treatment and can identify items of waste as they appear in the shute.
In the Open system, a person (who may not be certified) explains Hydrotherapy and advises how the client should do their own insertion. Various instructions may be offered (for example, breathing patterns), but you are left on your own once the treatment starts.
If you are cramping or feeling uncomfortable, the facility may have a button you can press for assistance. As you release down the shute, there can be a noise and an odour. Additionally, you have no idea what you are releasing.
At Ozone Wellness, we only perform Closed Colon Hydrotherapy conducted by a certified Colon Hydrotherapist who has been trained in the use of Colon Hydrotherapy equipment. You can read more about the differences here.
How long is a session?
Around 60 – 90 minutes.
What can Colon Hydrotherapy assist with?
Aside from general improvement in overall health and wellbeing, Colon Hydrotherapy can repair to the gut wall, increase energy levels and lower ‘brain fog’, rebalance gut flora, and relieve bloat, IBS, and even food intolerances. It can also remove gut parasites, relieve constipation and diarrgeoa caused by gut inflammation, relieve period cramps and related back pain, as well as hormone fluctuations.
Colon Hydrotherapy can restore the brain-gut connection and unlock an emotional healing and release. Many people notice improvements in skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, and premature aging. Headache and migraine symptoms are also effectively combatted.
How should I prepare for a session?
Before a Colon Hydrotherapy, it’s important to prepare your body by reducing certain foods. We suggest cutting down on (ideally, eliminating) the following foods and items about 48 hours prior to your session.
- Junk food, fizzy and diet drinks, sugars and artificial sweeteners.
- Alcohol, tea, and coffee.
- Wheat products, white bread, white rice, pasta, cakes, and biscuits.
- Dairy.
- Red meat.
- Beans and lentils.
- Laxatives.
- Cigarettes.
However, you should eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables (juicing is ideal) especially leafy green vegetables in the 48-hour lead up to your session. The following tips will also help you have an enjoyable session:
- Do not eat a large meal prior to treatment (minimum two hours).
- Chew your food properly.
- Considering your weight, drink at least one litre of filtered water per 22kgs in the 48-hour lead up to your appointment.
- Colon cleansing or juice fasting (only if your body is used to it).
If you have any health conditions, seek medical advice prior to booking a Colon Hydrotherapy session.
What diet do you recommend after treatment?
This is one of the most commonly-asked questions. You can eat straight after a colonic — just make sure you only put healthy foods back into your digestive system. We suggest:
- Broths or vegetable soups.
- Salads with a balance of healthy fats (avocado, nuts, etc.) and seeds.
- Steamed vegetables and greens.
- Fermented foods like yoghurt and kombucha.
- Plenty of filtered water.
- Avoid alcohol as well as spicy, rich, or fatty foods.
Can I return to work after a Closed Colon Hydrotherapy?
Yes, you can return to work or carry on with your normal daily activities.
Is it painful?
Colon Hydrotherapy is not painful, but an impacted colon can cause discomfort due to mild cramping that may occur as the colon contracts to expel waste. Once the major impaction is removed (if you have one), many find the session pleasant and relaxing.
I’m worried I’ll be embarrassed — is it embarrassing?
Absolutely not. Colon Hydrotherapy is commonly practiced all over the world and there’s nothing to be embarrassed about — even if it’s your first time having one. Our professional standards ensure that your dignity and privacy is maintained at all times during the treatment.
What is a coffee enema?
A coffee enema is a mixture of brewed caffeinated coffee and water, and is held in the Sigmoid Colon for approximately 12 minutes. Coffee enemas are primarily used for liver detoxification and dilation of the bile ducts to aid in healing the body as the blood passes through the liver. It is a fantastic on its own or as a complement to Colon Hydrotherapy.
Coffee enemas promote the key enzyme glutathiome S-transferass (the body’s master antioxidant), which detoxes the bloodstream.
Other benefits include:
- Improved hydration and digestion.
- Reduced pain and general nervous tension.
- More bile production to draw out metallic toxins, ammonia, nitrogen, and parasites.
- Aided liver repair.
- Stimulated Visceral Nervous System to promote peristalsis, aiding in relief of chronic constipation and rebalancing the gut microbiota including Candida.
- Reduced colon inflammation.
- Increased mental clarity and energy levels.
- Selenium delivery — an essential trace mineral that assists with cognitive function, fertility, cardiovascular, and thyroid health.
At Ozone Wellness, we use the Australian-certified organic coffee brand Bio Bean, supplied locally in Helena Valley.
Can I cleanse my colon at home?
One of the safest and easiest ways to maintain a healthy colon is a healthy diet and regular exercise. Full Colon Hydrotherapy cannot be conducted at home, but is highly accessible at Ozone Wellness.
What are the signs of insufficient elimination and congestion?
There are plenty of symptoms that may indicate insufficient elimination. Some of the signs of a toxic, congested colon are coated tongue, fetid breath, shallow complexion, abnormal body odour, dark circles under the eyes, cold hands and feet, brittle nails and hair, poor posture, pot belly, tension, fatigue, allergies, indigestion, chronic headaches, irritability, nervousness, nausea, depression, asthma, and backaches.
