Colonic hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, involves a gentle inlet of triple-filtered water into the body using disposable tubing in order to assist the body in loosening and releasing trapped wastes and toxins from the large intestine, thereby reducing digestive issues that originate with poor gut function. These include:
- Constipation
- Fatigue and lethargy
- Skin clarity
- Skin conditions
- Bloating
- Water retention
- Headaches
- Thrush
- Allergies
- Gut flora balance
A full medical history will be taken and discussed prior to treatment to establish the way forward for each individual, and the procedure will be explained prior to the treatment taking place.
Colonics are an essential part of some detoxification programmes and can also be seen as an important adjunct to enhance other treatments. At our St. John's Wood branch, we offer both plain colonics and coffee colonics (using organic coffee), where our our therapist works gently to meet your needs. For those on a deep cleanse, or who require extra therapeutic help, we offer coffee colonics using organic coffee. These sessions require 24 hours notice, and will take 75 minutes per session. Please feel free to discuss if this is appropriate for you with your therapist. For your first session, we advise a plain colonic.
At EF MEDISPA, we use a top-of-the-range pressure gauge system in a fully private, secluded en-suite facility. Our colonic hydrotherapist is ARCH registered and will be in attendance during your session, where she will be happy to assist you to develop your gut health treatment plan, including probiotics, as part of your consultation. There is no need for any special preparation prior to your treatment.
