Colon Hydrotherapy

You don’t need to bring anything special. We provide you with all the equipment needed for your visit. The only thing required is a unique mindset.

That’s a very good question and generally depends on where you are at in your healing journey. It’s quite common that people need 2-3 colonics if they haven’t had one in the last 6 months to cleanse the colon.

The colon builds plaque and undigested food and thus can become a habitat for unwanted bacteria. It’s strongly recommended to get a colonic every 6 months for a healthy colon. This is very similar to getting a dental clean every 6 months.

Yes, you can if you do a very lengthy colon hydrotherapy session. In general, a colon hydrotherapy session will remove 80% “bad” bacteria and 20% “good” Bacteria. Make sure that you replenish your good bacteria through having probiotics and fermented foods.

We recommend 3 months recovery before getting a colon hydro therapy. if you’ve had bowel surgery. Please also speak to your surgeon and follow his/her recommendation.

At this stage, we only have 1 operating colon hydro therapy machine and 1 therapist, so only one person can have a colon hydrotherapy at a time.

Yes, we use different types of Young Living essential oils to help you during your treatment. The choice depends on what your body is experiencing at the time of treatment.

In Closed, a Therapist explains the 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.

The duration of the session is 1 hour. This includes the session on the table and the release in the toilet after.

Aside from general improvement in overall health and wellbeing, Colon Hydrotherapy can repair 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 diarrhoea 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.

Before 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.

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.

Yes, you can return to work or carry on with your normal daily activities.

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.

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.

We generally recommend starting with a coffee enema to support your liver and detox pathways. Susanna, our Colon hydrotherapist will advise you on a program of different enemas if she sees that necessary.

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 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.

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.

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.

Following a Colon Hydrotherapy session, you may seek further assistance to support your colon in other ways.
