WHAT IS COLON HYDROTHERAPY?

Colon hydrotherapy is a functional medicine method used to clear waste from the intestines. This is done by injecting water into the rectum and large intestine. This water is cleaned with a special device to soften the waste in the intestines and make it easier to remove from the intestines. This procedure is usually performed in clinics or spas.

Colon hydrotherapy helps many people solve digestive system problems. Some people use this method to treat indigestion, constipation, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and other digestive issues.

While the patient lies in a certain position, water is flushed into the rectum and large intestine.
