The Colon - The facts about Colonic Hydrotherapy |
The colon, large intestine or bowel is situated in the abdomen and forms the last part of the digestive tract. It is involved in the absorption of water soluble nutrients as well as the synthesis of certain vitamins.
A major part of the excretory system, the colon eliminates food and other body wastes, as well as protecting us from infection and disease. This is achieved by the billions of friendly bacteria which
inhabit the colon and make up some 70% of the dry weight of our faecal waste. However, this delicate balance of the internal ecosystem can easily be disturbed by stress, pollution, poor diet, medication, smoking and alcohol.
Colon toxicity can be the underlying cause of many commonly reported health problems such as: CONSTIPATION, DIARRHOEA, HEADACHES, DISTENDED ABDOMEN, BACKACHE, ALLERGIES, BAD BREATH/HALITOSIS, SKIN PROBLEMS, FOUL BODY ODOUR, CHRONIC FATIGUE, IRRITABILITY, DIFFICULTY IN WEIGHT LOSS, FREQUENT COLDS, INSOMNIA, FOOD CRAVINGS, ABDOMINAL GAS AND FUNGAL/YEAST INFECTIONS, which may indicate the need for colonic hydrotherapy.
As well as easing, reducing and in some cases eliminating these symptoms, colonic hydrotherapy can also benefit sufferers of: IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS) AND DIVERTICULITIS.
