FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is Colon Hydrotherapy Administered?
A disposable speculum is gently inserted into the rectum which allows it to introduce warm filtered water into the colon. Water flow is always under direct control of the practitioner. As water enters the colon, it causes a feeling of fullness for a short amount of time, followed by a feeling of release as the colon is emptied. The speculum allows for the safe entrance of water via a small water tube and release of waste and toxins through the evacuation tube. As the water flows out of the colon, the practitioner gently massages the abdomen to help the colon release its contents. It is possible to see the expelled waste matter when it passes through a special viewing window in the evacuation tube. This process is repeated several times and generally takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Each client is assured a private, comfortable experience throughout the session. The client is well covered and their modesty is given top priority during the procedure. The waste is always discreetly drained away and releases no mess or odors.
How Often Should I Have Colon Hydrotherapy?
Each person will experience a different result from an individual colon hydrotherapy session or a group of sessions. The Colon Hydrotherapist will make recommendations regarding follow up sessions based on the results from the initial session and each clients self reported goals.

What should I expect, physically, from my CHT session?
Each individual may experience slightly different reactions physically. The level of toxins an individual carries is based upon a variety of factors, both internal and external. Most individuals report feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after a session. Other individuals experience the session more like a workout at the gym. It is important to remember that colon hydrotherapy is just that, a workout for the large intestine’s muscles. Once your muscles recover from the workout, the resulting feelings are often positive and energizing.
Will I experience pain during my session?
