FAQs

Hey there! Dive into our list of common questions all about colonics. A lot of folks are curious about this topic, so we’ve covered everything from health perks to insurance stuff in Australia. Hope you find it super useful. Happy reading!

 Picture a spa day, but for your colon! It’s all about giving your inner tubing a refreshing splash and cleanse with water. Ah, feels breezy!

Think of it like an indoor plumbing check. You chill out on a table, water flows in gently, loosens up the “debris,” and then – whoosh! – out it goes.

If done by a seasoned pro, it’s like getting a pro car wash instead of just hosing it down in your driveway. However, it’s essential to pick someone who knows their stuff because, well, it’s your precious insides we’re talking about!

Advocates feel like they’ve hit the refresh button! Potential perks? Reduced bloat, a pep in the step, and sometimes even a radiant glow. Just remember, results vary!

 You might shed a tad, but it’s like emptying the junk drawer, not renovating the whole house. A little lighter, sure, but not a lasting weight loss strategy.

 It’s like getting a massage; some go monthly, others yearly, some only when they feel the need. Just always tune into your body’s vibes and feedback.

While some feel it’s a cleanse worthy of a 5-star detox resort, remember your body’s already a superstar at cleaning up. Our organs, like the liver and kidneys, are the unsung heroes of detox! 🌟

Think of a colonic as a luxury spa treatment and an enema as a DIY home facial. Both aim to cleanse, but a colonic tackles the whole colon, while an enema is like a quick pick-me-up for the lower part!

Nope! it’s definitely not a “yikes” and more “hmm, that’s different!” Kinda like the sensation of a tiny stream of water up your bottom. A little weird at first and perhaps a bit of pressure, but colonics should never be painful.

Would you go swimming right after a feast? You could, but chances are you wont feel amazing. Eat light, avoid a huge heavy meal beforehand, and let your insides have a bit of room to work!

Prep mode: Hydrate like you’re about to groove at a summer festival. Avoid super heavy meals and hey, take a deep breath. Relaxation is key!

 Like trying to DIY a hair dye, there’s a chance things could go south If not done right. So, pick your practitioner like you’d pick your tattoo artist – wisely!

For shawwww! it’s like hiring a pro team to unblock a clogged drain. It might help move things along, but remember, it’s just one tool in the toolbox. Drink that water, eat those fibres, and dance a little – all good for the gut!

 It’s a bit of a coin toss, like asking if your insurance covers unicorn rides. Some might, especially if deemed medically necessary, but many see it as a wellness luxury. Always good to ring up your provider and ask!

Less time than binging a season of your favourite Netflix series! Typically, it’s a 30 to 60-minute gig. Enough time to daydream, ponder life’s mysteries, and then… all done! 🎉

 Ever popped a balloon at a party? For some, colonics can feel like that – letting out some of that unwanted air. They might help, but remember, everyone’s balloon… err, body, is different!

Yes. At Sunshine Holistic Health our colonic equipment is FDA approved. We don’t recommend having a colonic with equipment that isn’t FDA approved.

Yes. At Sunshine Holistic Health our colonic equipment is TGA approved. We don’t recommend having a colonic with equipment that isn’t TGA approved.

Take it easy! Think post-yoga vibes. Hydrate, eat light, and enjoy your flat tummy. If you’re ever worried about anything post colonic, call your therapist straight away.

Think of it as a fancier name for a colonic. Hydrotherapy sounds spa-like, right? It’s all about using water to give your colon a little TLC.

Some say yes, like giving your insides a cleanse might make your outer glow shine brighter. But, it’s not a guaranteed ticket to Hollywood skin. Stay hydrated and sunscreened for that!

It’s a bit like vacuuming – you might pick up both the crumbs and the glitter. While aiming to remove waste, you might lose a bit of the good stuff (bacteria) too. Balance is key!

Tempting, but would you cut your own hair before a big event? It’s one of those things best left to the pros. DIY might be risky without the right know-how.

Dive deep into the science pool, and you’ll find mixed reviews. Some say “yay,” others “nay.” Like checking movie reviews, it’s good to see multiple sources before drawing conclusions.

Well, it’s in the name, right? They’ll definitely clean things out, but whether that’s necessary or beneficial? That’s the million-dollar, or maybe just hundred-dollar, question! Always good to chat with health pros before deciding.

If it’s your first session ever, think of your colon as having just run its own marathon. Maybe give it a cool-down lap, rather than hitting the gym straight away. Chill first, lift later! – if you have had colonics before – absolutely you can go to the gym. Have a quick snack and rehydrate and you’re good to go.

Weight loss is very common, but it’s the weight of the poop that was inside of you. You haven’t exactly burnt any extra calories. It’s kinda like emptying your backpack. At the same time you may take on water during a colonic so you could also gain water weight that cancels out the loss from the poop. So the scale will look exactly the same. Don’t expect to suddenly be photo shoot-ready after a 45 min session. It’s more about feeling a lighter, flatter stomach than actually dropping those pounds. That said many clients who have done a series of colonic treatments combined with dietary change and exercise have had incredible weight loss results.

When used correctly, ABSOLUTELY. IBS is a complex syndrome with many moving parts, but have a chat with your colon hydrotherapist about it. I’m sure they will have lots of stories from clients with IBS who have found relief.

Picture ancient Egyptian royals and Greek philosophers having their own version of spa days! Colon cleansing has been around for millennia, with varied methods throughout history. It’s got quite the historical guest list – there are even references to colon cleansing in The Essene Gospels of Peace that are said to predate the Bible.

Hungry? Many people report feeling a little peckish after a colonic. Totally fine to eat straight after a session, but maybe go for something light and easy. Think post-workout snack, not Thanksgiving dinner.

Imagine a cozy spa with a touch of the unexpected. Some gentle pressure, a bit of warmth, and voilà, an inside-out cleanse! Plus, a therapist guiding you through.

Depends on the doc. Some give it a thumbs up for specific situations, while others might be more “meh.” It’s a mixed medical bag.

Post-colonic is like post-yoga, technically you can … but it’s maybe not the best time for a margarita. Best to hydrate with H2O and save the vino for later.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all. While there isn’t a strict “you must be this tall to ride” sign, it’s good to chat with a pro about what’s best for your age and health.

Of course! From herbal teas to certain diets, to just dancing it out. There’s a whole buffet of ways to help your digestion and colon health. Choose what grooves with you!

Some folks say after a colonic, they’re glowing like they just found the best skincare. But everyone’s acne and body is unique. It’s not a guarantee, but some believers swear by it.

It’s kinda like asking how many episodes to binge-watch. Some might feel great after one, while others want a whole season. Always good to see how your body vibes after the pilot episode! Cindy Cerecer, an accomplished colon hydrotherapist with 17 years of experience swears that after 10 colonics within 30 days you will feel amazing and people will be dying to know what your new secret to health and wellness is, but it’s never a one-size-fits-all all. Best to chat to your colon hydrotherapist to see what’s right for you.

Simply put, there just isn’t enough research on it. Many colon hydrotherapists have boasted of having colonics themselves during their own pregnancies. Colonics are generally considered safe in the second trimester. HOWEVER, pregnant bodies are like delicate works of art. Probably best to skip the colonic gallery visit during this time and consult your Midwife or OB-GYN for any tummy concerns.

Could be! For some, it’s like turning down the volume on that pounding beat. But remember, everyone’s playlist is unique, and reasons for headaches vary.

 Think of your tummy as a newly made bed. You wouldn’t jump on it, right? Start with easy, light foods. Maybe a smoothie or soup, not a chilli cook-off.

Some emerge feeling like they just had a power nap, while others might need one. It’s a mixed energy bag, but a few folks report an energy boost.

Picture a gentle water ride, but for your insides. Lie down, get comfy, and let the gentle water flow do its thing under the guidance of a pro.

Some say it’s like a reset button for the belly, curbing those random 2 a.m. pizza cravings. But, like all magic buttons, results can vary!

Yes. Take your usual medications and supplements just like on any regular day. Make sure you tell your colon hydrotherapist exactly what medications and supplements you are taking as some may be contraindicated.

It all depends on what “results” you’re looking for. Some feel the groove right away, while others need a beat. Just like after a good workout, your body might take its time to show off its newfound zest.

If you’re picturing a tiny Trojan War inside, it might not be that epic. While it can wash out some unwelcome guests, it’s not a guaranteed parasite party pooper.

Some believe it’s like having a decluttering session for candida. But, as with all cleanses, the candida chat is complex. Always best to dive deep with a health pro, just give us a call. 

Yes. Colonics are recognised and can be accessed by people on self-managed plans. Talk to your colon hydrotherapist or plan manager for more info.
