How much time does one treatment take?

If its your first CHT session, you will need a little extra time to complete an intake form and your therapist will take time to answer any questions you might have. Usually the first appointment takes about 1 1/2 hours.  After that your appointment can vary from 45 minutes to an hour.

​

Will one hydrotherapy session completely empty my colon?

Its very unlikely that your colon will be completely empty. Many people have considerable amounts of impacted, hardened waste in their colons. It can take multiple sessions  to remove the impacted waste.   As you become more comfortable with the cleansing experience, your body will respond allowing larger releases . For this reason we recommend scheduling three session over two weeks.

The colon is an organ that is continuously working.  It will never be completely empty.   Our objective is to improve the functionality not be concerned with the quantity of your releases.

​

Is the procedure painful?

No, the procedure is not painful.  The colon hydrotherapy session is a comfortable and relaxing experience for most people, However if discomfort is experienced, the session can be stopped at any time. If bowel disfunction previously exists,  mild discomfort is sometimes experienced. Some clients experience mild cramping, this is likely the sensation of your peristalsis and waste moving out of the colon. Your colon hydrotherapist is experienced at putting you at ease and minimizing any discomfort you might have.  The removal of waste should encourage better colon function and elimination.

 

How will I feel after the procedure?

Generally, there is no need to eliminate for the rest of the day. Most people report feeling energetic, and less bloated after a treatment session.  However, since the cleansing will stir up debris and toxins you might experience some minor fatigue. You can return to normal activities after the session.

​

How do I maintain my health after the cleanse?

A good probiotic is known to improve the bacterial balance in the colon.  We recommend continuing your regimen of probiotics after cleansing treatments. After beginning a cleanse many clients get serious about their health .  Some clients find they need additional support and guidance to maintain their commitment towards improving their health.  We offer various treatment options. The transformation package is a powerful path to take.

​

How many Colon hydrotherapy sessions are needed?

Everyone is different, so the number of colon hydrotherapy sessions will depend on your individual and specific health goals. Just as some people exercise on a daily or weekly basis to tone and tighten their outer body, some people also have their on-going cleansing, toning and rebuilding regimen for their inner body.  Colon hydrotherapy can be used as part of any regular maintenance program.  If you have chronic constipation, muscle aches and pains and poor dietary habits, it is probably best to have a series of sessions while working with your therapist on improving your dietary habits.  If you would like guidance with a cleansing program, you can schedule a consultation where we can discuss what may work best for you.   In general, we highly recommend you begin with three consecutive sessions.   Some clients receive a few sessions before or after traveling, when they have a cold, after holidays or if they are feeling congested or constipated.

​

Will this treatment help me loose weight?

Most clients find that colon hydrotherapy  helps them considerably,  because toxins stored in fat cells and tissues are released. Research has shown that toxins can plateau or slow down weight loss.  In addition impacted waste matter can account for unwanted pounds and bloated abdomens.
