Cleansing the colon can result in many powerful health benefits. Some people have reported benefits such as renewed vitality, and increased sense of well-being, and heightened energy after a colonic hydrotherapy session. A colon hydrotherapist may serve to relieve symptoms from some health problems such as chronic fatigue and sinusitis.

A colonic therapist irrigates the colon by using advanced equipment to permeate water through the rectum and to the colon. A stream of 25-35 gallons of tepid, clean water easily pushes out trapped uncleanness and prevents the toxins from recycling into the bloodstream. The colonic irrigation goals include providing optimum digestive and colon well being.

to become a successful colon hydrotherapist, you should develop the following skills:

•Have good interpersonal skills

•Be accepting of different of body types

•Learn about digestive health, nutrition, and food

•Market yourself independently

Hydrotherapy Education

Colonic therapy is frequently available to health professionals for continued education but an individual does not have to have a background in health in order to study colonic therapy.

Most programs in colon hydrotherapy cover the following:

•Physiology and anatomy

•Digestive health

•Colon hydrotherapy techniques

•Sanitation and personal health

•Primary business skills

•Nutrition

•Herbal remedies

•Abdominal massage techniques

A colon hydrotherapy program will usually consist of practical and theoretical components. During the practical training segment, students are taught to set up, clean, and use their equipment. There is also a concentration on client care, which includes accurate draping procedures and identifying contraindications/indications for colon therapy.

Average Length of Study for Colon Hydrotherapist

The study of colon hydrotherapy is currently not distinctively regulated in most states, although the IACT also known as the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy has created a syllabus that contains 100 hours that is commonly accepted as a standard form of study. Most colon hydrotherapy programs are offered as a two-week concentrated course.

Licensing and Certification

According to the I-ACT, the devices used in colonic irrigation are prescription devices by federal law. A practitioner who is licensed by state law, in order to use a prescription device you must do the following:

•Authorize the purchase of the colon device

•Use or supervise its use

•Order every colon irrigation for the patient

This basically means that if an individual is not a licensed medical professional, they will usually need to work with a licensed professional in accordance to local and state laws.

Some practitioners complete a voluntary certification program. I-ACT provides various levels of certification that help establish individuals as professionals in the field. The basic level requires a candidate to receive at least 100 training hours from an I-ACT approved instructor or school. You must also provide evidence of at least 1 year of service with credentials of at least one hundred colon hydrotherapy sessions. Candidates are also required to take and pass an exam composed of written information as well as supply more proof of your standards of practice

Does Colon Cleansing Really Work?

There is still debate as to whether colon cleansing really works. It is also debatable if it is really necessary and/or beneficial. In order to cleanse your colon, you can either buy a product or see a colon hydrotherapist. If you see a hydrotherapist, it is call colon irrigation. We will first discuss the option of using over the counter products to cleanse your colon. You can take some products by mouth, and others you will insert rectally. You can find the over the counter cleansers at health food stores, pharmacies, grocery stores, etc. Examples of over the counter products would be antiparasite capsules, enemas, herbal teas, laxatives, and powders to name a few. A second option to colon cleansing would be the colon irrigation. Colon irrigation is the process of filtering selected temperature water through the colon to remove any build up of toxins. The process can take up to an hour. Three separate therapy sessions may be needed in order to complete a total colon cleansing. The practitioner may rub your abdomen while the water is flowing through the colon. This process helps remove toxins that have build up in the large intestinal wall. In addition to the water flowing through the colon, the practitioner may use probiotics, coffee, herbs, and/or enzymes. The benefit of the irrigation system is that the entire colon is being filtered rather than just the rectum portion of the colon. There may be several signs that colon cleansing may help you feel healthier. You may feel sluggish, overweight, have severe headaches, and feel bloated. The benefits of colon cleansing are numerous. First, you will feel less constipated. Second, you will remove the toxins out of the intestine wall. The waste will pass more freely. Third, bowel movements will become more solid. Therefore, the problem of diarrhea will be lessened. Fourth, keeping your colon clean, may help prevent colon cancer. Fifth, weight loss is likely to happen. It is not unheard of for your colon to carry between 4 and 30 pounds of waste. Sixth, clear skin and increased energy will be a great benefit. It is recommended that you have a colon cleansing about once a year. Whether you decide to partake in the over the counter methods or colon irrigation, colon cleansing seemingly provides many benefits.
