Colonic irrigation is an enema-like technique in which water is used to cleanse the colon. During a colonic irrigation, a disposable or sterilized speculum is inserted into the rectum, which allows a small tube to deliver water into the colon.

Once the water has been allowed to fully irrigate the colon, it is then released through the small tube. Water, along with waste matter, will be expelled and disposed of. This technique will be used several more times over the course of the session, until waste matter is no longer being expelled from the body. If at the end of the session, the patient wishes to see what has been released from the body, it may be viewed after the irrigation process is complete.

The colonic irrigation process is very safe and modest. The patient is adequately covered throughout the entire process and is made to feel very comfortable. The irrigation process is also very gentle on the colon and will not damage the tissue. After each patient, all equipment is either sterilized or disposed of, which makes the transfer of disease or bacteria impossible.

The process itself lasts for around half an hour, and is also not uncomfortable or painful. While many people may think that a colonic may hurt, it is administered very gently, and once a patient begins to feel any discomfort, the practitioner will stop the flow of water into the colon. The experience is said to actually be very relaxing and enjoyable, but not at all painful.

During colonic irrigation, impacted feces, toxins, and waste matter is released from the body. This impacted waste may have been stuck to the walls of the colon for years, leading to sickness, fatigue, and digestive problems. Removing this waste will help a patient restore their energy, solve digestive problems, increase their metabolism, and strengthen their immune system. Patients may also feel lighter and notice that their abdomen is no longer bloated, which helps achieve the look of a flat tummy.

Because it takes waste years to adhere to the walls of the colon, it can also take a few sessions to be properly removed. Much of this waste is the consistency of wet tar and/or thick mucus and is difficult to remove. Most patients will need anywhere from three to seven treatments in order to effectively cleanse their colon. Fortunately, once the end result has been accomplished, colonic irrigation will leave a patient feeling fresh and renewed.

Are colonic irrigation's harmful when pregnant?

Theoretically you can have a colonic when you are pregnant although most responsible colonic practitioners would not recommend this doing the first twelve weeks of the pregnancy.Always check with your doctor before undergoing this procedure when pregnant.It is certainly preferable whenever possible to have colonics before and after pregnancy (can be great to help you get back in shape post pregnancy) and avoid treatments during the pregnancy itself.If you have a history of miscarriage avoid colonic irrigation during pregnancy.Jane Jarvis (Detox Therapist)
