Colon Hydrotherapy

Our dedicated colon hydrotherapist, Emma Attanasio, C.C.T., C.P.T., C.S.T., is a highly trained professional who specializes in the operation of the FDA-approved Aqua Cleanse colon irrigation system, a Type II medical device. This advanced closed system gently administers purified, double-filtered water through a disposable single-use rectal speculum.

 

Colon hydrotherapy is considered a safe and effective method for hydrating and cleansing the bowel. The process aims to remove accumulated waste from the colon, potentially improving digestive health and overall well-being. Our experienced practitioner follows strict hygiene protocols and uses state-of-the-art equipment to ensure a comfortable and beneficial experience for each client. During the session, clients remain fully covered to ensure privacy and comfort, and the experience is clean and odor-free.

A toxic colon can contribute to various health issues. Colon cleansing supports the body’s natural healing process, enhancing waste elimination and nutrient absorption, both of which are key to overall wellness. The procedure also helps to normalize colon function, allowing healthy bacteria to flourish and promoting a balanced, healthy colon.​

The importance of colon health

A healthy colon is crucial for overall wellness. When the colon becomes toxic, it can contribute to a wide range of health issues. Colon cleansing is a beneficial practice that supports the body's natural healing processes in several ways:

​

  1. Enhanced Waste Elimination: Cleansing helps remove accumulated waste and toxins from the colon, improving its efficiency.

  2. Improved Nutrient Absorption: A cleaner colon allows for better absorption of essential nutrients from food.

  3. Normalized Colon Function: Regular cleansing can help restore and maintain normal colon function.

  4. Balanced Gut Microbiome: Cleansing promotes an environment where healthy bacteria can flourish, contributing to a balanced and healthy colon ecosystem.

 

By addressing these key aspects of colon health, cleansing can play a significant role in supporting overall bodily wellness and vitality.
