Colon Hydrotherapy

“All disease begins in the gut”- Hippocrates
On Wednesdays I am up at the beautiful Magnolia Spa in Mount Pocono offering colon hydrotherapy. I have 10 years of experience as a Colon Therapist and absolutely encourage anyone looking to heal from chronic illness or improve overall health to learn about the benefits of colonics. In today’s world we are up against a slew of toxins that overburden our natural detox pathways and put strain on our organs. Colonics help to irrigate and flush out old waste, biofilm, toxins and pathogens from our gut to alleviate some of that burden and help give our system the upper hand in the healing process.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET COLONICS?
The appropriate frequency of colonics is always based on individual needs and health goals.
During your initial session or series, I can get a general idea of your colon health, establish a baseline and make recommendations for future colonics.
While getting those individualized recommendations is always best, these are some general guidelines that apply to most people as well as some more specific considerations, and can give curious prospective clients an idea of how to plan to use colon hydrotherapy to best support your health and detox goals.
The most important guideline that applies to almost everyone is : Schedule a 3-series for your first time! That first colonic is just a starting point. It is a chance to hydrate the colon and get your body acclimated to the process but it is usually not indicative of what is possible in terms of release and benefits possible with follow-up colonics. While it should never be a painful experience, it is a new experience for those who have never done it, and it takes a little getting used to. Once your body learns to relax into the process, the potential for productive releases and detoxification increase tremendously. It is also important to schedule that 3-series as close together as possible : ideally within a month or less for best benefits. The more you space it apart, the less you can cash in on the preparation and progress from the previous colonic and the more it is like starting over.
Maintenance Colonics: For general maintenance and overall wellness, consider scheduling your colonic series every 3-6 months, depending on your specific circumstances. I always recommend clients consider some type of cleansing around the season changes. These changes in the season are reflected in the body as we are directly connected to the rhythms of nature, and these times are great opportunities to ‘clean up shop’ with fresh nutritious foods, meditation and deep breathing practices, sweating with gentle exercise or sauna visits, and of course colonics which helps to clear the main exit pathway for accumulated toxins to be released.
Detoxification Programs: If pursuing a detox program, colonics may be more frequent, ranging from weekly to monthly, under professional guidance.
Digestive Health: Those with chronic digestive issues may benefit from a regular colonic series every 1-2 months to alleviate symptoms and support better digestion.
Preventative Health: Colonics can serve as a preventative measure against colon-related health concerns, especially for those at risk or with a family history of colon issues.
Lifestyle Factors: Lifestyle factors such as diet, stress, and exposure to toxins may influence how often you need colonics.
Preparation for Medical Procedures: Some individuals may require colonics as part of their preparation for certain medical procedures, like a colonoscopy.
Avoid Overuse: Colonics should never replace your regular bathroom visits. Avoid overusing colonics, as excessive sessions (beyond what is recommended for you) can disrupt the natural balance of your gut flora and lead to electrolyte imbalances.
Colonics may not be suitable for everyone, depending on various factors such as where you are at in your healing journey and it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional to determine the best approach for your individual health and wellness goals.
