There are four different methods of colon hydrotherapy.

The Closed System Woods Gravity Method is the only modality we use in our clinic to ensure safety, comfort and effectiveness.

It is highly recommended you do your research first to understand each method and to ensure the therapist is highly qualified.

All sessions are allocated 1 hour. This includes the time allocated for you to empty your bladder before the session and to sit on the toilet after your session to further release, if required.

The colon is designed to efficiently eliminate digestive and cellular waste from the body. However, modern lifestyles often disrupt this natural process. Factors such as a diet high in cooked, processed, and nutrient-deficient foods, inadequate water intake, sedentary habits, and stress, contribute to widespread digestive disorders. These include conditions like constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, diverticulitis, colitis, Crohn’s disease, spastic colon, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

It’s not uncommon for bowel transit times to range from three days to two weeks.

When waste matter builds up in the colon, this toxic load can re-enter and circulate in the bloodstream, a process known as auto-intoxication. This buildup can lead to an overgrowth of yeast (Candida albicans), impede nutrient absorption and hinder the colon’s muscular movement, resulting in sluggish peristalsis (gut motility) and chronic constipation.

Colonics assist to remove impacted waste from the colon and improve its muscular function.

Even individuals without severe digestive issues may benefit from colonics, as they often discover the removal of mucus, worms, and undigested food.

Our clients reported benefits include improved sleep, clearer skin, reduced gas and bloating, and more regular bowel movements.

Yes you can have a colonic if you have your period. In fact, having a colonic during any phase of your cycle may alleviate any uncomfortable symptoms you may encounter monthly. The release of waste and gas can relieve painful pressure, cramping and bloating, promoting an ease of flow.

Yes, you can have a colonic if you take medication. However, we advise you to space out your medications at least 2 hours away from your colonic session.

Laxatives are medicinal products that contain chemicals, which only offer a temporary band-aid effect for constipation.

Colonics address many issues, not just constipation. They do not stimulate the bowel by stripping the lining of the gut and do not cause intense stomach cramping as stimulant laxatives do. Colonics do not aggravate other digestive issues like laxatives can.

Having a bowel movement daily may still be considered as constipated. Even having regular daily bowel movements does not mean the stools are healthy. There are many benefits to having a gravity colonic, it’s not just for 

You can resume your normal daily activities after a colonic. There is no downtime required after your treatment and you can go about your day as normal.

It is important to note that each person is unique and the number of sessions is dependent on your health goals, medical and digestive health background and current diet and lifestyle. It is safe to have colonics regularly and even a few days apart for best results, especially when starting your colonic journey. 

An enema only reaches the rectum and lower part of the colon, approximately 7 inches, whereas with colon hydrotherapy, the entire length of the colon is reached, approximately 5 ½ to 6 feet.

According to Dr. Norman Walker, “One colon irrigation is equivalent to 30 enemas.”

Our daily (hopefully) bowel movements will rid both good and bad bacteria. Colonics assist in cleansing the intestine of putrefied waste and gas to create an environment for healthy bacteria to thrive and flush out overgrowth of bad bacteria.

Colonics assist to rebalance your gut microbiome and allows for better absorption of minerals and nutrients to support a lifestyle of clean eating.

Most clients feel much lighter, energetic, refreshed, improved sleep patterns, among other benefits, just after a single colonic session. 

Some clients may feel waves of nausea, cramping, headaches and tiredness, generally in those starting out with colonics or those suffering digestive issues such as constipation and bloating. This feeling is very normal and a good indication that the body has started to remove accumulated toxins and waste. This feeling should pass by the following day.

Yes! colon cleansing may assist you to lose weight and kick start your metabolism. Our colon is approximately 5-6 feet long. We can hold up to 6-8kg of dried fecal matter.

Depending on the severity and condition of your colon, many of our clients have reported losing several kgs after a colonic treatment.

The weight you may lose by having colon hydrotherapy will be from waste only. The bloat and weight gain may be just kilos of excess waste accumulation. Colonics will also assist in removing excess gas which can be another common cause of bloating. Clients report feeling lighter and have a flatter stomach after a colonic.

The colon is an organ which is continuously in use and therefore may not be completely empty at any given time. In clinic, our focus is on bringing the colon back to its natural state of function.

With consistent treatments, our clients have reported some signs that can indicate a well-functioning colon:

1. Regular Bowel Movements: Consistent and regular bowel movements typically suggest that the colon is functioning properly.

2. No Discomfort or Bloating: A well-functioning colon is often associated with reduced bloating, discomfort, or abdominal pain.

3. Healthy Stool Consistency: Bowel movements should be soft and easy to pass, indicating healthy digestion and elimination.

4. No Constipation or Diarrhoea: Absence of constipation (difficulty passing stool) or diarrhoea (loose or watery stool) suggests a balanced colon function.

5. Satisfaction After Bowel Movements: Feeling a sense of completeness or satisfaction after bowel movements can indicate that the colon has effectively eliminated waste.
