We are proud to use the U.S. FDA-approved LIBBE colon hydrotherapy open system that effectively and safely cleanses the colon (large intestine) of waste and toxins.
The procedure involves a soothing flow of purified, temperature-regulated water, instilled gently into the colon (large intestine) through a pencil-thin, sterile and single-use rectal tube. As the water gently circulates, it stimulates the colon’s natural peristaltic action of the muscles of the colon and provides an excellent workout for the colon.
With its modern, safe, hygienic and very comfortable design, then LIBBE open system is considered the "Rolls-Royce" of colon hydrotherapy. The specially designed bed allows the client to easily self-insert the lubricated rectal tube in private. The tube is only inserted 1-2 inches, and is completely painless. Your personal hygiene and privacy are maintained at all times. The LIBBE colonic irrigation open system is comfortable, painless and entirely odorless. The continuous inflow of water during the treatment provides natural, gentle and subsequent releases.

What Will Colonics Do For The Colon?
-
Cleanse the Colon: Breaks down toxic excrement so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Toxins built up over a long period are gently removed in a series of treatments. Your colon can begin to cooperate again as it was intended. In this sense, a colonic is a rejuvenation treatment.
-
Exercise the Colon Muscles: The build-up of toxins weakens the colon and impairs its functioning. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon improves peristalsis (muscular contraction) by which the colon naturally moves material. Having Colonics is like taking your colon to the gym.
-
Reshape the Colon: When problem conditions exist in the colon, they tend to alter its shape because the colon is a muscle and it will enlarge to the build up of toxins not being released. That in turn causes more problems. The gentle action of the water, coupled with massage techniques of the colon therapist, help to eliminate bulging pockets of poop and narrowed, spastic constrictions finally enabling the colon to resume its natural state.
-
Stimulated Reflex Points in the Colon: The colon is connected to every system and organ in the body by reflex points. The colonic stimulates these points thereby affecting the corresponding body parts in a beneficial way. Thus creating overall well-being and health in the body.
-
Hydration of the Whole Body: Water is absorbed into the body through the colon which increases the volume of blood. The circulation of the blood is increased, resulting in a greater bathing of the cells. This dilutes the toxins and flushes them out; relieving toxemia and uremia; and increasing elimination both through the kidneys, and the skin as well as the bowels. All this generally assists the cardiovascular and circulatory systems to be more efficient.
Benefits Of Colon Hydrotherapy
-
Compression of neighboring organs disappears or attenuates when volume reduces in the colon. Relaxing effect on organs above intestines such as the liver, heart, and lungs. Sensation of lightness may be experienced.
-
Reduces pressure in the intra-abdominal area which improves venous return from lower extremities and pelvic zone. Relaxes pressure on the hips and lumbar column and is beneficial to their mobility. Relaxes abdominal muscles from the action of water temperature and massage that accompany the colonic. Increases abdominal muscle tone due to reducing intestinal residues.
-
Stimulates peristaltic action of intestines restoring normal muscle tone and therefore removal of constipation. Potential to correct intestinal transit problems such as constipation and diarrhea without resorting to prescription drugs.
-
Sensation of well being due to the elimination of mucus, alimentary remainders not digested, gases and toxic bacteria. Relieves inflammation and edema due to elimination of irritating substances
-
Reduces weight and slims due to activating elimination. Creates an increase in mental capacity and rejuvenation since it decreases the degenerative process, normal or accelerated, by removing toxic substances that affect biological aging.
Before A Colonic Session
• Do not eat anything 2 hours prior to your session, and eat lightly on that day.
• Drink plenty of water the day prior and day of your appointment.
•Avoid gas-forming foods the previous day; beans, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, cucumbers, melons, raw apples, bananas, or anything else that may give you gas.
•Abstaining from wheat and dairy for a few days can also be quite beneficial.
•Minimize caffeine, processed foods, alcohol, sugar, bread and fruit juice. Raw vegetable juice is more suitable than fruit juice.
•Eat lots of fresh vegetables, a little fruit and white meat, if required. Avoid red meat for 24 hours prior to colonic, if possible.
After a Colonic Session
•Drink plenty of water to keep the toxins flushing from your body.
•Avoid gas forming foods for 2 days.
•Eat more colon-friendly foods such as salads, vegetables, fruit (no bananas), juices, soups, fish, chicken, beets and carrot juice are very beneficial. Avoid eating raw vegetables 4-6 hours after a colonic.
•Avoid heavy meat consumption (beef and pork) for 8-12 hours. Chicken and fish is best.
•Avoid mucous forming foods such as dairy.
•Avoid strenuous exercise that day.
•Most people experience a feeling of lightness and more energy after their treatment.
•Remember to continue to drink lots of water, at least 2.5 – 3 litres and continue your usual exercise routine. You will soon start to feel a difference.
•For some people bowel movements may not return for 2 or 3 days. This will indicate how long it takes for your food to pass through you (transit time). Transit time is ideally 24 hours.
