“Health is as infectious as disease, given the right conditions for its spread.”
Dr George Scott-Williamson, 1943What is colonic hydrotherapy?
The colon, also called the large intestine, is the last stage of the digestive tract. It is around five feet long and handles the body’s waste. A healthy colon is populated with billions of beneficial bacteria that help detoxify waste, support vitamin synthesis, and protect against infection.
When the colon is not functioning well, waste can build up and be reabsorbed into the bloodstream. This places extra strain on the kidneys, skin, liver, and nervous system, and may contribute to symptoms including fatigue, bloating, skin conditions, and joint pain.
Colonic hydrotherapy uses warm, filtered water to gently flush the colon, removing accumulated waste and supporting the conditions for better digestive health.
Conditions it may support
Colonic hydrotherapy may be beneficial for people experiencing:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Chronic constipation or diarrhoea
- Candida / yeast overgrowth
- Bloating and digestive discomfort
- Acne, eczema, and other skin conditions
- Fatigue and poor energy
- Arthritis and inflammatory conditions
What to expect
The session lasts one and a half hours, including a two-page questionnaire completed together at the start.
Ann uses a closed system with fully sterile, disposable equipment. A small speculum is inserted just past the anal muscle. From that point, only double-filtered sterile water enters the body. Waste flows out through a separate tube, your modesty is preserved throughout.
Water is held to a maximum pressure of 1.8 lbs. For comparison, hospital enemas start at 5 lbs and go higher, so the process is gentle. You may feel sensations similar to needing the toilet, along with some mild cramping. Most people find it manageable and feel significantly better afterwards.
After the treatment, a probiotic implant may be used to help replace beneficial bacteria in the colon.
Is it safe?
When carried out by an ARCH-registered therapist, colonic hydrotherapy is safe and well-tolerated. Ann’s sterilisation procedures are approved to eliminate all preventable bacteria, viruses, and fungi. All equipment is single-use and never reused.
She has been qualified and treating clients since 1992. Ann is a registered member of ARCH, the Association and Register of Colon Hydrotherapists.
