Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe, therapeutic process administered by a trained and certified Colon Therapist. The Colon Hydrotherapy equipment at Luxe wellness Boutique is the most advanced and sensitive equipment available today. It is FDA-registered and utilizes a six-filter system to gently introduce warm oxygenated water to the large intestine. As your colon is hydrated and massaged, fecal waste loosens or dislodges, and your colon contracts to defecate naturally. The waste is evacuated through a "closed" tube (no odor, leaks, or "mess") and passes through a viewing tube before exiting through the drain system
Frequently Asked Questions
After your initial evaluation, you will relax on a comfortable massage table as the therapist palpates your abdomen to detect areas of congestion or build up. Then, a narrow, well-lubricated speculum will glide very, very gently into the rectum. You will then feel warm water circulating through your large intestine, the hydration process, which is quite relaxing. As your colon detects loosened fecal material, it begins to contract involuntarily (peristalsis) to get rid of the waste. It will feel like you have the "urge" to "go" as your body allows the waste to exit through the contained tube. Throughout the procedure, you will remain with your therapist, completely covered and comfortable
If you can, it is helpful to prepare for your Colon Hydrotherapy session by following these guidelines for 2-3 days before your cleanse day, 1. Try to drink lots of water (preferably purified and filtered) and apple juice. Water helps you get a head-start on hydrating the buildup, and apple juice supports the liver in releasing toxins during your cleanse. Other great cleansing juices are prune, pear, and pineapple. 2. Try to limit or avoid gas-forming foods and beverages. These differ from person to person, but generally include coffee, soft drinks, bananas, cauliflower, broccoli, onions, garlic, and cabbage. The build-up of gas can slow down waste elimination during your cleanse. For a more elaborate list, Google: acid-forming foods. 3. On the day of your cleanse, fasting is recommended, especially if your cleanse is scheduled in the morning. If you are unable to fast, or if your cleanse is scheduled in the afternoon, eat only a "light" meal in the morning and not within 2 hours of your appointment. (Remember: The digestive tract cannot digest and eliminate efficiently at the same time.) The best option for a "light" meal is a smoothie or juice, which is dairy-free and made of whole foods. It's a good idea to avoid coffee. Also, slow down your water intake just prior to your cleanse as you do not want to have to stop your cleanse to empty your bladder.
The preparatory tips are helpful and advantageous, but not required. Those suffering with an impacted colon or those whom are preparing for a medical procedure, such as a colonoscopy or laparoscopic GYN surgery, should speak with our therapist for special instructions.
