Important information to digest.
Colonic Irrigation, Colonic Hydrotherapy, Colon Cleanse or simply Colonic are all terms used to describe what is fast becoming one of the most sought after health treatments in Europe.
If you’re looking to kick-start a healthier lifestyle, build your energy levels, boost your metabolism, improve skin tone or assist with a weight loss programme then these are just a few of the benefits of colonic hydrotherapy.
Our digestive system has a lot to do with the way we feel, how we look and our general well-being. Your digestive system can easily become imbalanced through poor diet, stress, lack of exercise, choice of drink and general lifestyle.
Food that isn’t digested fully ends up in the colon where it builds up over time. This causes the digestive system to slow down, be less efficient and back-up. A backed-up colon is also a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria, causing a build up of toxins in the body. An average colon is 5 foot long, so imagine what could be backed-up
Did you know the average transit time of food through our bodies should be 24 hours? In Europe it is reported that an average transit time is closer to 60 – 70 hours.
Some of the more common side effects from an improperly functioning colon and poor digestion can be feeling bloated, bad breath, bad skin, constipation, fatigue, protruding abdomen, difficulty losing weight and disturbed sleep.
How can colonic hydrotherapy/irrigation Help?
Colonic Hydrotherapy/Irrigation is the process whereby filtered water flows into the colon to soften and remove the impacted waste matter that has built up over time. One colonic is the equivalent to 20-30 bowel movements. Colonics can help with IBS, diverticulitis, parasites, candida, allergies, intolerances, irregular bowel movements, low energy levels, depression, skin problems and many other conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a weight limit?
Unfortunately we have to implement certain weight restrictions for our hydrotherapy suite. To enable us to give you the safest experience possible we have to enforce a maximum weight restriction of 110kg, please understand this is for your safety and we appreciate your understanding and co-operation
What is the procedure for Colonic Hydrotherapy?
Colonic Hydrotherapy is a gentle treatment during which filtered water at body temperature flows into the rectum and then into the colon to soften and remove faecal matter which has built up over time.
Is it painful?
NO. There is an unusual sensation at the beginning but as you relax you will become completely at ease with the treatment.
Is having a colonic safe?
YES. I am a fully trained and accredited Colonic Hydrotherapist. At THC we use state of the art equipment which is sterile and disposed of after every treatment. During your consultation I will answer any questions you have and also ensure that it is right for you. If there are any concerns the procedure will not take place until both parties are happy.
Do I need more that one Colonic?
The number of treatments needed can vary as everyone is different. I will advise you of the recommended number of treatments during your free consultation. On average, 3 treatments are normal. Remember the colon is 5 feet long, so it usually will take more than one treatment to successfully clear the entire colon.
How frequently do IÂ need a Colonic?
We normally recommend a course of three treatments and that they are carried out within a 10 day period, leaving it longer will reduce the treatments effectiveness.Â
After the treatment it would be six months before we see you again for a maintenance session.
N.B. Due to everyone being different every client receives a tailored treatment plan.
Do IÂ need to prepare before a treatment?
To get the maximum benefit from the treatment we would recommend that you avoid eating a meal one to two hours before the treatment. The effectiveness of the treatment is also improved after your regular bowel movement.
Can a Colonic help me lose weight?
The short answer no. Colonics are not a fast track to weight loss. However, there are several benefits that will aid someone who is following a weight loss program.
Increased metabolism
increased energy levels and
Reduced food cravings
Are all positive effects that will be felt after colonic irrigation. It can therefore give you a great start or boost to your weight loss program.​
How private is the treatment?
Our priority is your comfort and privacy. During your consultation you will be shown the private treatment room and will remain covered at all times.
Is it OKÂ to have my Colonic when IÂ have my period?
YES, In fact, this is a great time to have a colonic as your body is already in cleanse mode. It is perfectly safe to do so.
Could there be anything stopping me having a Colonic?
During your consultation we will establish if there are any reasons not to proceed and recommend an alternative course of action or therapy. High blood pressure, severe haemorrhoid or pregnancy would be some of the conditions that would prevent the treatment going ahead.
Is a Colonic for any gender?
Yes.
Can IÂ have a Colonic if IÂ am on the pill?
YES you can. There is no problem with having a colonic if you are on the pill.
Will there be an tiredness or discomfort after the treatment?
Occasionally one would feel tired after a treatment but no more so than after any physical exercise. Abdominal cramps can occur but these are usually very mild and disappear rapidly, in general, clients feel invigorated and refreshed afterwards.
Will I need to take anything after the treatment?
YES. You will be advised to take a course of probiotics following treatment and supplements with kefir or benna low fat natural yoghurt.
