ULTIMATE DETOX

Discover all the benefits of a healthy and well functioning Digestive System.

• The colon is a much maligned organ of the body. We spend a lot of time and money caring for the rest of the body but it is the bowel that takes the brunt of removing excess toxins from our body. The build up of these toxins can make us feel lethargic and ill.
• The lifestyle we live today has added toxins to our body that cannot be properly eliminated. Elimination of waste is so important yet we very often choose to ignore this fact.
• The faster we can eliminate waste from our bodies, the less time it will sit in our bowel introducing toxins into our bloodstream which will then travel around our entire body.
• We should have 1 - 3 bowel movements a day. Any less and your body will be "nourished" by toxic blood.
• Slow moving waste can and will get stuck in the bowel making it more difficult for waste to pass through. This build up can have a major impact on the way you look and feel.

 

COLON HYDROTHERAPY

Colon Hydrotherpay, also known as Colonic Irrigation, or simply Colonics is the process of cleansing the entire colon by passing several litres of water through it with the use of special equipment. This has the effect of flushing out impacted faecal matter, toxins, mucous and even parasites, that have built up over the passage of time. It is a procedure which should only be undertaken by a fully qualified practitioner.
FACT Cleansing the colon by this modality is not a new concept, it is recorded in history as being in use in 1500BC. Colonics have been used to relieve chronic toxicity successfully for centuries.

Normally, several treatments will be needed to achieve desired results regarding the elimination of impacted matter and restoration of bowel regularity.
Initially, only gas and recent faecal matter may be released. Impacted faecal matter can cause an imbalance of the natural organisms that normally populate the bowel, causing what is known as dysbiosis. Decomposing and putrifying matter can cause a toxic environment in the bowel and can lead to many health problems. Constipation can cause backed up pollution of the body cells.
FACT Removing large amounts of toxic matter can give relief to many symptoms and will allow improved assimilation of nutrients from food and can help to prevent or restore nutritional and vitamin deficiencies. Colonic Irrigation can help improve the tone of the bowel and restore peristaltic action to a sluggish bowel, thus reducing the need for more colonics over time.

During treatment, a fully disposable speculum is inserted into your bowel via the anus, this is attached to a disposable tubing which in turn is attached to the machine which will pass temperature and pressure controlled, filtered water into the bowel. The temperature and pressure are either controlled by the therapist or yourself.
This process, although it can be uncomfortable at times, is not painful, triggers peristaltic action and you will begin to expel faecal matter or gas. The therapist may massage your abdomen to help the elimination process and to begin to form an understanding of your particular anatomy.
Use of the Chi Machine is optional prior to the colonic.
FACT Sanitation and hygiene is of paramount importance at fresh as a daisy (colon care) and all speculums and tubing are fully disposable. The treatment room and en suite shower room are fully sanitised between clients.

After the colonic you may feel so good (fresh as a daisy, in fact) that you may be tempted to rush around and double your usual energy output. We advise caution here for it is easy to overdo things. Light to moderate exercise is good if your body is used to it, but we recommend that you avoid any strenuous activity for 24 hours after your treatment.
FACT Since the colon has been cleansed of waste matter, it may take one or two days for your bowels to fill again and for normal bowel movements to resume.

A light diet of fruit, vegetable, soups, chicken or fish should be followed for two to three days prior to your treatment. Foods that cause gas, spicy or rich foods should be avoided. Gassy drinks and alcohol should also be avoided. It is best not to drink for 2-3 hours before your colonic.

 

Other Benefits can include a truly enlightening experience of understanding far better how your body works. You will learn to recognise and act upon certain signals from your skin, your abdomen and even that most taboo of all subjects, your eliminated waste, that you can use to achieve optimum health and wellbeing.

Working with your skilled therapist will lead you to spot the on-set of a developing condition and by taking remedial action sooner, rather than later, can prevent the problem from becoming serious or prolonged.

 

The Solar Plexus can be looked upon as the emotional centre of the body and any unresolved emotional issues can be represented as tension in the region where the left and right ribs join. The colon passes through the solar plexus and the resultant tightening of the muscles in the colon can lead to constipation. A skilled therapist will understand and allow you to experience the journey of discovery about how your body works in conjunction with an holistic approach to your natural functionings.

 

 

 

Before your first treatment you will need to complete a short health questionnaire with your therapist. There is no charge for this and will form the basis of your treatment depending on the treatment required and any health issues you may have either now or in the past.

THE BOTTOM

‘One day the body’s organs were having an argument as to which was the most important.  The Brain was the first to gloat that without it the body couldn’t think for itself and would do something really stupid and die.

 

          The Heart disagreed, saying that without blood pumping around the body all the organs would suffocate from lack of oxygen.  The Lungs said, “Oh yeah and I provide the air for the rest of you guys so I’m the most important”.  The Kidneys said that without them the body would poison itself and die.  The Stomach said, “Yeah but without me the body wouldn’t be nourished”.

 

        While the organs were arguing amongst themselves, the lowly gut chimed in.  “Hey you guys what about me?  Aren’t I important?

 

        All the organs laughed and teased the poor little output device: “You’re just a hole” they said, “There’s nothing to you….” And the poor little hole went into hiding saying; “You’re all mean, and to prove I’m the most important organ I’m going to hide and not do anything.”

 

        They all continued laughing and eventually settled down for the night.  The next morning, the Brain tried to wake up the body but didn’t have enough energy to do so: the Heart felt a bit heavy and the Lungs were out of breath.  The Stomach said he felt pretty congested and bloated, while the Kidneys complained that they couldn’t keep up with the garbage the body was producing.

 

        This went on for a few days until they remembered the lowly Gut. ‘It was true’ the all exclaimed.  The poor little hole had clammed itself up in shame and affected the entire body!

 

        “Okay, we give up!  You are the most important organ in the body.”  And with that the little hole gave out a huge sigh of relief, and the body was regular again
