Colon cleansing is the process of introducing gushes of water into your large intestine in order to wash away waste and other toxins. In concept, it is simple; but is it healthy?
There are several reasons why we should keep our colons healthy, the most important being our large intestine’s role in eliminating organic waste from our body. Our colon is roughly shaped like a letter “M” with a length between four and a half to five and half feet and about two inches wide. It is just below the small intestine, which is found between the live and the stomach.
An integral part of our digestive tract, the colon is responsible for momentarily holding waste before it finally exits the body. When the colon is compromised, the body will have problems eliminating waste. When that happens, other medical conditions may arise such as other digestive disorders, constipation, diarrhea, skin problems, and fatigue.
In essence, colon cleansing is safe if done properly, all the more if the equipments and the technology used are up-to-date. Years back, enema was the ultimate answer to the colon cleansing dilemma. However, it was found that enemas can cause several cleansing safety concerns. Enemas and water irrigation are two different things, because only the lower 20% of the colon is cleansed during an enema. That means that the procedure is not as effective as modern colon hydrotherapy.
When it comes to cleansing the colons, patients have three major concerns.
Pain Does it hurt? That is the first question asked by most patients. Medically speaking, colon hydrotherapy is routinely described as “refreshing”.
Second, they want to know how deep the treatment would go inside their body. And although it is done deeper than an enema, it is completely safe.
Risk of Infection another concern is the potential exposure to harmful bacteria and viruses. This concerned has been addressed, thanks to the modern equipments used such as the disposable pre-sterilized hoses and tips, which help ensure a germ-free colon cleansing environment.
The advancement of technology in the field of medicine has allowed a much safer colon cleansing experience, and as long as it is administered by a hydrotherapy specialist, the procedure will most likely be a success.
