An FDA Approved Closed Colonic Unit – safe, gentle, and never left unattended!

To clarify things about the Closed Colonic Unit, it is the best and safest colonic system. When making an appointment you would expect to come into the facility, fill out your form and have a great session for 45 minutes to an hour, feeling wonderful when you leave.

We use the Hydro San Plus Colonic Unit which is FDA approved and a level II Medical Device. Everything is disposable, including your sheets, gown and foot covers. The Closed Colonic System is the best colonic you can get. The Closed Colonic Unit is a Gravity Closed-Controlled High Colonic System with a built-in triple filtration system and an automatic temperature shut off and ultra violet light. There are no odors, all the colon waste goes through the disposable tubing and out through the sewer system. The Closed Colonic Unit is not just a gravity unit - it is a Closed and Safe system, not the same as an open unit where a much longer tube is inserted into the buttock area and the water is turned on and you are left alone with no one to explain anything to you. It is imperative you are safe and your colonic therapist is running your colonic unit while you are relaxing and listening to music.

The speculum (the instrument that is inserted into the anus, and allows the water to flow in and out) is gently inserted 2-3 inches into the colon. It comfortably holds the anus open during the session, thereby removing the need for the recipient to push the waste out. The water line connects to the incoming water line on the equipment, and the waste line attaches to an illuminated glass viewing tube that allows for observation of what is eliminated. The waste goes out the speculum into the disposable waste line, and then empties directly into the sewer system after passing through the view tube. The waste is "closed" to the air, hence the term "closed-system".

The client remains on the treatment table throughout the procedure. Our professional therapist administers the colon hydrotherapy session, and is present during the entire session. The sessions consist of a series of inflows and outflows that can be accompanied by abdominal massage. The whole procedure is absolutely mess and odor free. Many people prefer the closed-system.

Before your first session we require our clients to fill out the provided form. Then you empty your bladder in the bathroom, get onto the table, and then the colonic therapist comes into the room. The therapist will open a plastic bag with your disposable pieces in it (your speculum, waste tube and water tube) and then the session begins. The colonic therapist will be explaining everything to you while you are having your procedure. There is no pain involved, as some may be thinking. As you relax, the therapist runs your colon health session. It includes massaging your stomach, checking where the water is, and making sure the water gets around your whole large intestine. Gentle massage assists loosening up of the waste matter and eases the process of elimination. Our colonic therapist will inform you at all times if the water is in the descending, ascending, or transverse colon and will let you know how you are doing. It is a gentle procedure and we ensure that you will be happy to have experienced a great cleanse.

After the session is over, the colonic therapist will tell you how you did and will recommend a program for you. If your colon is sluggish, you might want to incorporate a good nutritional program to soften waste, a good diet, and exercise program. The colon therapist might recommend a few colonics sessions along with what she thinks will help you after a good synopsis of your first colon session to clean up your colon, getting it to work properly for a Healthier You.

A day or two before your first scheduled appointment for colon hydrotherapy, we suggest that you eat primarily seasonal and organic vegetables, fruits, and grains*. Staying hydrated is important. 64 oz of water throughout the day is ideal. A night before your appointment please drink psyllium fiber. Your last meal should be no less than 2 hours prior to your scheduled session. The last meal should be light of vegetables, fruits and juices*. Drink a gallon of water throughout the day before your session. After your session drink plenty of water. 24 oz of water between meals is ideal. Try to avoid "junk" and fried foods for several days after your session. Eat yogurts with live culture. If you plan to do colon hydrotherapy regularly, please take a pro-biotic supplements daily of no less than 10 billion live bacteria.

* If your diet is under supervision of a medical doctor, please disregard our dietary suggestions.

This video shows the use of Colon Hydrotherapy for Colonoscopy preparation. According to the American Cancer Society, colon (colorectal) cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States. But some people avoid a Colonoscopy screening because of a cleansing process, involving several types of laxatives (such as Golytely or Fleets Phospho-Soda). Now there is a great new alternative for Gastroenterologist to use for preparing a patient for a colonoscopy, it is a lot more comfortable and soothing method.

This video depicts a variety of different intestinal views, related to various colonic and other diseases. It emphases the importance of lifestyle and healthy eating habits, which are critical to longevity and maintaining optimum health. You are what you eat!

Parasites

Diverticulitis

Diverticulitis develops when feces become trapped in pouches (diverticula) that have formed along the wall of the large intestine. This allows bacteria to grow and cause an infection or inflammation and pressure that may lead to a small perforation or tear in the wall of the intestine. Peritonitis, an infection of the lining of the abdominal wall, may develop if infection spills into the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity. It is generally accepted that the root of the problem is modern diet. A diet low on fiber allows for slower passage of stool trough the colon. A high fiber diet creates what is know as "roughage" and moves the waste matter through the colon faster and more efficiently.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is an abnormal contraction of your colon muscles which can cause cramping, abdominal pain, bloating gas, diarrhea and constipation. Normal digestive tract has a construction rhythm that continuously moves the matter. In IBS matter can move very quickly producing such effects as bloating, gas, and diarrhea, or slowly and cause constipation and cramping.

Constipation

Constipation is most commonly caused by insufficient fiber in the diet or an interruption of the regular diet. Chronic constipation may be due to a poor diet, dehydration, certain prescription medications (such as antidepressants and narcotics), stress, or the pressure of other activities that force you to ignore the urge to empty the bowel.

A. The colon, on the large intestine, is a tubular organ approximately 5 ½ -6 feet in length and 2½ - inches in diameter. Although most absorption occurs in the small intestine, the ascending colon also absorbs some minerals, nutrients and excess water the digested residue of the food that you have eaten. The contents of digestion (chyme) are moved along by mass muscular movements (peristalsis), which are initiated by the nerve supply to the colon. Toxins and waste materials are then discharged through the rectum and anus. The process of digestion and elimination normally takes between 12 and 24 hours. A large portion of the immune system resides in the large intestine. When the colon is healthy, you will experience a feeling of well-being because you are assimilating and eliminating properly. To ensure a healthy colon, we have observed that sufficient water, good nerve tone, and the proper biochemical nutrients and intestinal flora are needed.

A. Colon Hydrotherapy is the safe, gentle infusion of warm multi-filtered water into and out of the rectum and large intestine. To begin, Valeriya will suggest a trip to the restroom to empty the bladder. After disrobing from the waist down and putting on a gown, you will be covered with a sheet, reclining on a padded massage table. At the foot of the bed is a wall unit displaying a temperature gauge, pressure gauge and an observation tube. A disposable speculum 3/4's of an inch in diameter (narrower than a healthy bowel movement!) is partially inserted with a round-lipped applicator approximately 2-3 inches into the rectum. Two tubes are attached and extend from the outer portion of the speculum into the wall unit: the inflow carries water infusing your colon after which the outflow expels that water along with the waste it loosens up. The Colon Hydrotherapist is always present and closely monitoring the temperature and pressure-sensitive flow of water while paying particular attention to minimizing any discomfort. Immediately upon your feeling full, Valeriya releases the water and waste material which travels from the disposable outflow tube through a glass viewing tube within the wall unit and ultimately into the drainage system. This is called a closed system, because everything is contained within the tubing, so the process is not smelly or messy. While you are emptying, Valeriya offers to gently manipulate your abdomen, encouraging an easier and more complete letting go. This cycle of filling and emptying is repeated several times during the 45-55 minutes that you are on the table. The whole session lasts an hour or so leaving time for a trip to the toilet at the end, where gravity will help to eliminate any residual water and waste. To ensure safety, each disposable speculum package is thrown away and the instrument is sanitized. Longer sessions are available if necessary.

A. The number of sessions needed varies according to the condition of the colon and a person's general health and health goals. It is ideal to start with a series of 6 or 12 sessions (there are significant savings to purchasing a series). It is ideal to have 2 sessions the first week as close together as possible (one today and one tomorrow) followed by 2 sessions the second week and one session a week for the remainder of the series. The reason for this recommended schedule is because the body responds to a clean colon by pulling toxins from fat deposits, tissues, and organs and dumping them into the blood stream. It is ideal to eliminate these toxins through the colon rather than reabsorbing them back into the body. Depending on a person's health needs, maintenance could be weekly, monthly, or an annual cleansing series. We are happy to help you design a cleansing program that meets your health needs and your budget.

A. You're normally on the equipment for about 40 minutes. 20 minutes is the minimum recommendation to get a basic cleanse. 40-60 minutes is the maximum recommendation by I-ACT (The International Association of Colon Therapists), so that the colon doesn't get worn out or over-tired.

Colon hydrotherapy is a safe, effective method of removing waste from the large intestine. By introducing a small amount of water into the colon, the waste is softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis. The process is repeated a few times during a session. Colon hydrotherapy best benefits the body when used in combination with adequate nutrient and fluid intake as well as exercise. Today's sophisticated technology makes this health practice both safe and sanitary.
