Colon hydrotherapy involves flushing the colon with the help of water and a special device and thus belongs to the methods of colon cleansing.
The colon is cleared of blockages and fecal residues, which has a positive effect on bowel activity.
During the treatment the patient lies comfortably in the lateral position. Pleasantly tempered water is introduced into the intestine through a tube. This relaxes and loosens the intestines. The application can be additionally supported by a massage of the abdominal wall.
The dissolved components from the intestine are immediately discharged with the help of the tube. The inward and outward phases alternate constantly. The treatment lasts about 1 hour in total.
