What is Colonic Irrigation?

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.  

What is Colonic Hydrotherapy

What are the benefits of Colonic Irrigation?

  • Detoxification: Colonic Irrigation flushes out toxins and waste that accumulate in the colon, promoting detoxification of the body.

  • Improved digestion: By removing built-up waste, our Colonic Irrigation treatments can help improve digestion and alleviate symptoms such as bloating and constipation.

  • Boosted immune system: A healthy colon supports a healthy immune system. Colonic Irrigation can help to promote immune function by removing harmful substances and bacteria from the colon.

  • Weight loss: Colonic Irrigation can aid in weight loss by improving digestion, increasing metabolism, and removing excess waste from the body.

  • Clearer skin: Poor gut health can contribute to skin problems such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Colonic irrigation treatments can improve your gut health, leading to clearer, healthier skin.

  • Increased energy: A clean, healthy colon can help to increase your energy levels by improving nutrient absorption and promoting overall wellbeing.

What concerns can Colonic Irrigation address?

High levels of stress, poor diet and lack of exercise can increase the number of toxins accumulated within our bodies that will eventually end up in our gut, triggering a series of health and skin concerns. From fatigue to acne, regular headaches and constipation, Colonic Irrigation performed at our expert clinics in London, can help to address some of the trickiest health conditions by deeply cleansing the colon.

Tailored to your concern

All treatments are tailored to the individual and personal experiences and results may vary. We recommend a one to one consultation with our Treatment Coordinators to discuss your treatment options.

Colonic Irrigation London

What type of Colonic Irrigation treatments do we offer?

Californian Colonic

The Californian Colonic irrigation involves the use of fresh wheatgrass as an adjunct to your Colonic Therapy. Wheatgrass is a highly nutritive ingredient packed with powerful vitamins, minerals, enzymes and chlorophyll. This colonic is powerful enough to detoxify the colon and easily absorbed without challenging the digestive system. What makes our wheatgrass Colonics unique is the fact that we only use freshly grown, freshly juiced and freshly delivered wheatgrass.

Zone out colonic

Zone Out Colonic is a relaxing, stress-relieving treatment that can help to soothe your glands and allow your body to re-harmonise back to its normal mode. The use of soft wave laser technology prior to the treatment helps the body to release pent-up tension and relaxes the digestive system muscles, significantly improving the elimination process.

How might I feel after a session or a course of sessions?

This varies from client to client and can include: 

  • Improved mental clarity
  • Better mood
  • Enhanced elimination
  • Improved immunity
  • Brighter, clearer skin
  • More energy
  • Clearer breath
  • Improved abdominal comfort 

With some clients, several sessions are required before they can achieve their target. Our therapist will be happy to advise you on a treatment programme. If you have questions about suitability of this treatment for individual conditions, or if you would like to know more, please book a consultation by calling 02074490888.

 Initial sessions require 75 minutes, with follow-on sessions starting at 60 minutes. We offer both single sessions and courses of either coffee or plain colonics as follows:

  • 6 + 1 free session
  • 10 + 2 free sessions

Prices start at £135 per session.

  2. Meet your practitioner

    After your initial consultation with the Treatment Coordinator, you will meet one of our highly experienced Colonic Hydrotherapists and have a more focused consultation regarding colonics.

  3. During the treatment

    The main treatment involves flushing the colon with filtered water and either wheatgrass or a coffee infusion to help flush out trapped toxins and waste from in your body. During the colonic irrigation treatment, a list of herbal infusions will also be used to accelerate the benefits of the treatments.

Colonic Irrigation FAQs

What is Reflexology and How Can it Work Along Colonics?

Reflexology is a holistic treatment which involves massaging specific reflex points on the feet and ankles which can help to balance and harmonise specific organs and systems within the body. Reflexology can be easily applied before the Colonic Irrigation treatment as a way of preparing the body and enhancing the benefits of the colonic treatment. On the other hand, it can also be an amazing after treatment add-on to relax the body and mind.

What Kind of Additional Herbs Are Being Used During the Colonic Irrigation Treatment?

To accelerate the benefits of the colonic irrigation treatment, a list of herbs will also be used depending on the type of condition you are trying to tackle:

  • Enema Herbs tonic – a blend used for overall cleansing, purification and muscle toning.
  • ASP Herbs tonic – a blend used to help reduce IBS-type symptoms such as spasm, inflammation and excessive bloating.
  • Wild Yam – helps to relieve uncomfortable gas and bloating.
  • German Chamomile – excellent for calming, soothing, and relaxing. Great for relieving symptoms such as stress, anxiety, muscle tension, insomnia.

How Can Wheatgrass Colon Infusions Benefit Me?

Wheatgrass can be taken orally, but for most people, the strength needs to be kept quite low as its detoxifying effect may upset the stomach. However, by infusing directly into the colon, sufficient strength of juice can be used without any impact on the stomach making it ideal to accompany colonic irrigation treatment.

How does the Zone Out Colonic Irrigation Treatment Work?

Calming the endocrine system at a cellular level, soft wave non-columnated lasers encourage the body to a deep level of peace. This allows the glands to be soothed, stopping the body from staying in an exhausting continual state of high alert. By releasing pent-up tension within the body during colonic irrigation treatment, the digestive system muscles often relax to such a point that it considerably improves the elimination process from the body.

Is Colonic Irrigation Treatment Painful?

Colonic Irrigation should never be painful, with our team of highly experienced Hydrotherapists making sure that you are feeling comfortable during the treatment whilst making sure to maintain your privacy.

What Should I Eat Before and After the Colonic Irrigation Treatments?

Your Colonic Hydrotherapist will advise you to eat a light meal, and hydrate before as well as after the treatment. You will also be advised to avoid sugar, coffee, alcohol and carbonated drinks.

Doctify

After suffering with severe digestive problems for many years, I decided to book a course of hydrotherapy treats at EE Medispa in Chelsea. Having never had this treatment I was quite nervous but the staff and my practitioner Victoria made the whole process very comfortable. I have now been seeing Victoria for regular sessions for about two months and I can honestly say it has changed my life. I have completely changed my diet and the process of detoxification has helped me eliminate everything that was causing me to feel so unwell for many years. I would highly recommend this service to anyone with digestive issues. I am now on my second course of treatments and continue to see great results. This is one of the best investments in my health I have ever made. Thank you so much Victoria! : )

Colonic Irrigation

The Zone Out treatment was fantastic, it relaxed my mind and body, clearing my head of all that “London” stress … Victoria, the Hydrotherapist was incredibly knowledgeable and informative; above all making me feel at ease …I can’t wait to come back again!

Jennifer Burton

Zone Out Colonic Hydrotherapy

I had Zone Out Colonic Hydrotherapy. I was immediately at ease with Victoria, she was both friendly and professional. I wasn't sure what to expect with this treatment but within a few minutes of it starting I was already in an extremely relaxed, almost meditative state. It was like being transported into a zone between asleep and awake where you are totally at calm - thoughts can enter your mind but you just let them float away. Afterwards I felt as though I had been asleep for a hours, I was relaxed but also rejuvenated. I would highly recommend trying this!

Zone Out Colonic Hydrotherapy

I had the Colonic; Victoria thoroughly explained every part of the procedure, which made for a relaxing experience. I can’t wait to come back again!

Camilla Pryce

Colonic Irrigation

Victoria floats in, complete with bangles and maxiskirt, far from the overall-clad dominatrix I had envisaged. The consultation and treatment explanation are extensive but reassuring and by the time I am gowned up on the bed, I’d honestly trust her with my life. The process is much more civilised than you’d think. Within four sessions, my eyes are brighter, my skin is clearer and I have the energy of a five-year old on a sugar high. The difference is astounding.”
