What is a Colonic?
Also known as colonic irrigation, colon hydrotherapy or high colonic, a colonic is a safe, effective method for hydrating, and evacuating the colon by gently flushing the colon repeatedly with warm purified water.
What happens in a colonic session?
After the person is comfortably positioned on the equipment, the rectal nozzle is inserted about 1 1/2 inches. A gentle flow of gravity fed warm water begins. The water flowing into the colon starts peristalsis (muscular action of colon) which causes release of water and waste. This process begins at the rectum, continues to transverse section and then to the cecum, breaking up waste matter and achieving complete evacuation of the colon.
