What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
The colon or bowel is situated in the abdomen, and in fact form the last part of the digestive tract.
It carries out a number of important functions: absorbtion of water soluble nutrients, as well as the synthesis of of certain vitamins, and is responsible for eliminating food and waste matters, as well as protecting us from infection and disease.
All this is achieved with the aid of billions of 'friendly' bacteria that live in the colon.
However, due to today's busy lifestyles, this balance can be disturbed by factors such as stress, poor diet, drink, drugs or smoking, and exposure to some toxic substances.
Hence the need for colon hydrotherapy.

The treatment exercises the colon muscles; this improves peristalsis (muscular contraction).
The colon can be reshaped by hydrotherapy; when problems exist, the colon can alter its shape, causing more problems.
Colon Hydrotherapy stimulates the reflex points. Almost every system and organ of the body is connected to the colon; this therapy stimulates these points, affecting the body parts in a beneficial way.
