A lot of individuals may think that having a colonic is an invasive procedure that is distressing. However for those that have had a colonic in the past are quite surprised how relaxed the process may be. It can be an effective health tool to be done together with a raw food detox diet.
After finishing a health history form and consulting with the colon hydrotherapist, the patient is asked to get into a gown or wrap in a towel and lay face up on a treatment table. A massage of the abdomen area is performed before the colonic session to loosen up any stagnant waste as well as assist the client to relax. As soon as the massage is completed which lasts just a couple of moments, the client turns on their left side where the colon therapist places a disposable speculum into the anus which is almost the size of an adult's thumb.
The gravity fed pressure assists the water to circulate throughout the total 5-6 feet of the colon, and it also creates a pressure that is like a vacuum that pulls and draws the waste matter out. Gravity fed colonics are recommended because it is the safest and most efficient method of cleaning the colon. It works together with the natural flow of one's body, and lessens the possibility of any additional complications.
The best kind of system is the closed system which makes sure that all the waste will flow through a closed drainage which also means that the client as well as the colon therapist do not smell the waste, so this is also sanitary and much more pleasant.
The patient usually feels a small amount of discomfort in the abdomen during the therapy as waste and gas is being stirred up and pulled out. The therapist may apply light massage to the client's abdominal area to assist the process. Cramping is a standard part of the process and once you begin to break up dormant toxic waste, the bowels will do its job to get rid of it. In particular, when performing colonic sessions along with a raw food cleanse, far more waste will become present to be eliminated.
Also, many clients will say the only thing that is distressful about the colon therapy session is just feeling the urge to push or get to the toilet. It is a "strange" feeling for lack of a better word, but it is one that you do get accustomed to. Keep in mind that you will be expelling waste while laying over a treatment table, rather than the typical toilet, therefore it's bound to be a bit bizarre initially.
Sometimes during a colonic one may encounter 'hot flashes' or start to sweat, or even get goose bumps. This happens because the circulatory system is having stimulation and the blood is evacuating waste.
A normal session will use 15-20 gallons of water and could continue for anywhere from 35 minutes to a hour. After the session, the therapist exits the room, and the client may sit on a toilet to elimintae any remaining water and fecal matter.
Many patients will feel lighter, feel more energetic, feel cleaner and less gassy just after a session, and they may go right back to their regular activities. Many may experience a headache or even feel tired and this is because a lot of toxins were mixed up. Years of build up doesn't get flushed out in just a single session therefore to ensure a more thorough cleansing of the colon it is suggested to do a minimum of 5-10 sessions and keeping going with a raw detox diet.
