When a system is bogged by all the abusive treatment it has had to endure over a lifetime, toxic waste builds up in the colon and the body cannot properly assimilate the vitamins and minerals we need. The walls of the colon tend to develop a buildup of material and this results in sluggish bowel movements, constipation and other problems. Instead of being expelled correctly the poisons re-enter the blood stream and circulate through the body. If you are experiencing flatulence, stomach bloat, lower backache, bad breath, stiff joints, mood swings, skin problems, abdominal discomfort, restless sleep, excessive mucous, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue depression or cloudy urine, you may need to have your colon cleansed. These are signs of an impacted colon.
Many people are under the false impression that an enema is as cleansing as a colonic.
During the colonic the water travels the whole 6 foot length of the colon, cleaning it from the sigmoid to the the ascending colon. The cleansing effect of one colonic is superior to 12 to 15 enemas. The whole colonic treatment is not necessarily limited to the colonic irrigation. Also included usually is abdominal massage and reflexology which is used to stimulate pressure points of the feet that also help with the elimination process. The entire procedure should take 35 to 40 minutes.
