Colonics

I always tell clients there’s no special prep that needs to be done before a colonic, you can come as you are, wear anything you like, if you’re hungry you can eat beforehand, but it’s perfectly fine to do colonic fasting as well. 

There are a couple of tips that can help you get the most out of your session though.

Before a Colonic:

1. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your colonic. Hydration helps soften the stool and supports the cleansing process.
2. Avoid Heavy Meals: Refrain from consuming heavy or greasy meals on the day of your colonic. Stick to light, easily digestible foods.
3. Inform the Therapist: If you have any underlying health conditions, take medications, allergies, or concerns, inform your therapist before the session. This ensures a safe and customised experience.

Your initial session will begin by filling out personal history medical forms, we answer all the questions that you might have and then the therapist will show you the system and explain the procedure before starting your colonic session.

A session typically lasts 45 minutes, but allow 90 minutes for your first appointment.

The colon hydrotherapist will greet you and accompany you to the colon hydrotherapy room.

The colon hydrotherapist will leave the room while you remove your lower garments. You’ll then recline on the system and gently insert a single-use, well-lubricated, pencil-sized nozzle 1-2 inches into the rectum and drape a cover cloth sheet over the lower half of your body to maintain modesty and dignity.

When you are ready, you’ll press the call button to page the colon hydrotherapist, who will then come back into the room and start the session.

Simply relax and listen to soothing music as the water flows into and out of the colon, evacuating its contents into the system’s basin. If you wish, you can watch the contents leave your body through a sealed viewing tube.

Once the session is complete, the colon hydrotherapist turns off the system and then leaves the room to allow you to drain and rinse in privacy.

When you are through, you will meet the colon hydrotherapist outside of the room for a refreshment and a recap of the session.

A session typically lasts 45 minutes, but allow 90 minutes for your appointment.

At Sunshine Holistic Health all of our practitioners are ICHTA Certified, Registered Members of the International Colon Health Association as well as trained in a variety of other natural health modalities.

At Sunshine Holistic Health we use The Angel of Water CM-1 system, which offers a very simple, comfortable and hygienic means to irrigate the colon when medically indicated, such as before a radiological or endoscopic examination.

It is a state-of-the-art, open-style colon hydrotherapy system, TGA approved, ergonomically designed for comfort and is inviting to both fully mobile and mobile-impaired patients.

The system’s tank holds 30 litres of water. The tempered water is treated with both ultraviolet and carbon filtration and set to the colon’s internal body temperature for comfort.

After a Colonic:
Generally speaking you are right to go about your day as normal after a colonic, however, we do give you some healthy hints to keep you feeling great and feeling the benefits long after your session has ended.

1. Hydrate: Drink ample water after the colonic to help flush out toxins and stay hydrated.
2. Eat Lightly: Stick to light, nourishing foods such as steamed vegetables, soups, and whole grains for the first few hours after the procedure.
3. Avoid Heavy Meals: Give your digestive system some time to adjust by avoiding heavy or rich meals immediately after the colonic.
4. Rest and Relax: Allow yourself some downtime to rest and relax after the colonic. Your body may need some time to recuperate.
5. Gentle Movement: Engage in light physical activities like walking or gentle stretching to encourage circulation and aid in digestion.
6. Avoid Processed Foods: Steer clear of processed foods, excessive sugar, and refined carbohydrates to support your body’s natural detoxification process.
7. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body responds after the colonic. If you experience any discomfort or unusual symptoms, give your therapist a call.
8. Continue Hydration: Maintain good hydration in the days following the colonic to support your body’s detoxification process.
9. Follow Therapist Recommendations: If your therapist provides specific post-colonic recommendations, be sure to follow them to optimise your results and comfort.
   
   

Remember that everyone’s body is different, so it’s important to listen to your own body’s signals and adjust your post-colonic routine accordingly.
