Hydrocolontherapy is a safe and gentle infusion of body-temperature water into the colon. It is a completely natural treatment: no synthetic chemicals or drugs are used. During the therapy, the patient lies comfortably on their back to facilitate, through manual abdominal massage, the reduction of bloating, the detachment and fragmentation of endocolic material (which is then eliminated), the activation of blood and lymph circulation, and the stimulation of peristalsis, with the final effect of improved entero-colonic function and a general sense of wellbeing. Additionally, mucus, gas, germs, fungi, parasites, and cellular debris are removed, thus improving intestinal nutrient absorption function.
Hydrocolontherapy is a treatment that has shown broad applicability in recent years within natural medicine and wellness strategies. It is well tolerated and does not present any short- or long-term side effects. The important detoxifying activity on the entire body achieved through hydrocolontherapy makes this treatment useful both for systemic issues (e.g., dermatitis, joint pain, etc.) and functional colon disorders (constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, etc.).
Furthermore, since 70% of the immune system resides in the intestine, hydrocolontherapy also promotes the rebalancing of immune defenses.
