Top 10 Reasons you should try a colonic today
Colon cleansing can help improve your body’s overall health, wellness and may even reduce your risks for colon cancer. Here are our Top 10 reasons we love colonics.
1. MAKES THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM MORE EFFECTIVE
As the colon is cleansed, it pushes waste through your system, clearing the way for good nutrient absorption. A clean colon from a herbal colon detox or a colon hydrotherapy session allows waste to pass easily and out of the body.
2. MAINTAINS REGULARITY AND PREVENTS CONSTIPATION
Constipation — especially when it's chronic — causes a sluggish digestive response, which in turn leaves waste in the system longer. This increases the likelihood of certain conditions and irritations, such as hemorrhoids and varicose veins and leaky gut.
​
​3. INCREASES ENERGY
Releasing the toxins from your body is rejuvenating because it refocuses the energy usually used to force waste through your intestines to other parts of your body. Most people who have had a colon hydrotherapy session with us say they have better blood circulation (measure by BP,) more restful sleep, and a boost in energy. (Don’t trust us, read what our customers have to say. You can find our reviews on Yelp, Google or Facebook. Trust us, take a look.)
4. INCREASES THE BODY'S ABSORPTION OF VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS
A colon that's been cleansed allows only water, vitamins and nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream, creating an unobstructed path for essential nutrients to filter into your body.
​
5. IMPROVES CONCENTRATION
Poor diet and ineffective vitamin absorption can cause you to become distracted and lose your concentration. The buildup of mucous and toxins in your colon can keep your body from getting what it needs to function, even if you eat a consistently healthy diet. Cleansing the colon with a herbal detox or a colonic can be the difference between feeling alert and not being able to focus. This has far-reaching ramifications for work, your relationships, and your overall health.
6. KICK-STARTS WEIGHT LOSS
Foods lacking in fiber move through the digestive tract at one-quarter the pace of high-fiber choices. This slow-moving food produces excess mucous that literally sticks to the intestinal walls, weighing the intestinal tract down with pounds of decaying fecal matter.
Colon cleansing has the potential to aid weight loss; some people claim to have lost up to 20 pounds over the course of a month. The average human colon weighs about four pounds empty and can hold up to eight meals' worth of food before digestion finally occurs. A colon cleansing can result in significant weight loss and kick-start your metabolism, as well as refocus your attention on better food choices and whole-body wellness.
​
7. DECREASES RISK OF COLON CANCER
All the toxins that you eat, drink, breathe and absorb through your skin end up processed by your gastrointestinal system, kidneys and liver. If they're not forced from your organs as quickly as possible, they can wreak havoc on your body's systems. By releasing stagnant body waste, you reduce the causes and the risk of polyps, cysts and cancerous growths in your colon and gastrointestinal tract.
8. INCREASES FERTILITY
Colon hydrotherapy, an herbal detox (look at our female corrective cleanse) as well as increased fiber intake and healthy food choices, improves regularity and helps keep your weight under control. Fat is estrogen-based. If too much is present, becoming pregnant becomes more difficult. A colon that is weighed down by years of buildup can also press on the uterus and surrounding reproductive organs in women-- causing strain. Colon cleansing rids the body of many chemicals and toxins that affect the egg and sperm. Many naturopathic doctors recommend that both partners undergo colon cleansing before attempting pregnancy.
9. MAINTAINS PH BALANCE IN THE BLOODSTREAM
Foods that cause colon blockages are acid-forming — particularly high-protein (a whole lot of meat) diets without enough fiber. This leads to general malaise in the body. The colon's tissue eventually becomes inflamed, reducing its ability to do its job, which is to allow only water, minerals and vitamins to pass into the bloodstream. If yeasts, molds, fungus, bacteria, parasites or fecal material enter the bloodstream and connected tissue, the body's pH will be thrown out of balance and cause a whole host of issues to your whole system.
10. IMPROVES WHOLE-BODY WELL-BEING
Ridding the colon of waste and toxins by releasing layers of colon buildup can lead to feelings of lightness, increased energy, and overall good health.
