Colonic Hydrotherapy

Colonic Hydrotherapy is a safe and effective method of exercising the colon to eliminate stored faecal matter, gas, mucus, toxic and poisonous substances, which if left in the body can lead to more serious health problems.

This gentle procedure involves slowly introducing filtered water into the bowel through a small tube, and then allowing the water, along with any loose debris, to exit through a larger tube. This is conducted using a closed system, ensuring there is no odour or direct contact with waste. Throughout the process you will be supported and well taken care of by the practitioner – so the overall experience in our London clinic should be comfortable and relaxing. All equipment used during a treatment is single-use and disposable, prioritising hygiene and safety.

There are many advantages of colonic hydrotherapy:

• Improved bowel transit time – particularly beneficial for people with constipation, IBS-C/mixed type or sluggish digestion
• It tones and and exercises the colon while removing excess waste, leading to better function
• Helps to balance the microbiome thus helps
