Colonic Hydrotherapy
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 program then these are just a few of the benefits of colonic hydrotherapy.
Important Information to Digest:
Colonic Irrigation, Colonic Hydrotherapy, Colon Cleanse or simply “a Colonic” are all terms used to describe what is fast becoming one of the most sought after health treatments in Europe.
Colonics can help with: IBS, diverticulitis, parasites, candida, allergies, intolerances, irregular bowel movements, low energy levels, depression, skin problems and many other conditions.
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.
Colonic Hydrotherapy/Irrigation benefits:
-Promotes normal bowel function
-Increased energy levels
-Helps with weight loss program
-Improved metabolism
-Improved circulation
-Feel ‘lighter’ and ‘clean’ afterwards
-Bloated feeling reduced
-Reduced toxins in the body
-Improved absorption of essential nutrients
-Strengthens the immune system
-Toning of the abdomen
-Improved digestion
-Better skin tone
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.
FAQ’s:
Q: Is Colonic Irrigation safe?
A: Yes. At United Care we use state of the art equipment and all equipment is sterile and disposed of after every treatment. During your consultation our doctors/nurses will answer any questions you have and also ensure that colonic irrigation is right for you. If there are any concerns the procedure will not take place until both parties are happy.
Q: How frequently do I need Colonic Irrigation?
A: We normally recommend a course of 3 treatments and that they are carried out within a 10 day period, as leaving it longer will reduce the effectiveness of the treatments.
After you have completed your course of treatments, it would normally be 6 months before we would recommend a maintenance session, depending on your condition, of course, this is why we have a detailed client intake form, and every client will be assessed and treated according to their specific needs.
Q: Is it painful?
A: No. There is an unusual sensation at the beginning but as you relax you will become completely at ease with the treatment.
**Our clinic specialises in a team-based approach with all our patients to ensure a complete restoration and rehabilitation program is in place to focus on your health concerns. Our teams are designed to help guide you with specialised services and collaborative minds regarding your treatment plan.**
