Frequently asked questions
What to expect on your first visit:
Clarissa has trained with Australia’s leading Colon Hydrotherapy organisation and will make you feel comfortable for your treatment. She will confidently take your full medical history and explain the process to you.
What should I do before a session of Colonic Hydrotherapy?
It is more comfortable to refrain from eating a minimum of two hours before your appointment.
For best results:
- Drink plenty of water.
- Minimise alcohol, ideally none.
- Eat lightly; vegetables and grain, avoid meat for 24 hours.
Will laxatives or enema accomplish the same results?
Enemas will clean out the lower part of the colon but they miss about four feet of colon. Laxatives are toxic to the body causing the body to produce a thin watery substance that goes through the colon leaving behind impacted toxins and waste.
Is it embarrassing?
No, Clarissa’s trained to make sure your dignity and privacy are maintained at all times and there is no odor using a closed system.
Is it painful?
No however if a major impaction is being removed you may experience cramping.
Once the waste is removed you will feel pleasant. Colonics re-establish the tone of the colon, like a gym work out for the bowel. In the event of irritated hemorrhoid using anusole a week before the treatment is advised.
How do Colonics help?
The colon is a reflex organ, meaning there are electrical connections to all other systems and parts of the body. When waste material accumulates it reabsorbs into the body slowing down other functions. A slow transit time will effect every system in the body.
Colonics “de stress” the liver as it clears away plaque, parasites, fungus, and toxins – this gives the liver the chance to detoxify all the other cells and systems in the body.
How can I cleanse my colon?
Colon hydrotherapy is the fastest and most effective way. Your body is likely to “reset” and crave a healthier choice in foods. Clarissa will talk about heavier choices individually gradually implementing lifestyle change.
After Colonics how will I feel?
Most people become clearer in the mind, lighter physically and emotionally. Sleep really well and have increased energy.
Are Chemicals or drugs used?
No – only purified water.
Will I wash away all my good intestinal flora?
Both good and bad bacteria are washed away- fortunately the body is always trying to bring itself into homeostasis and Colonics create an opportunity for the good bacteria to regenerate and flourish.
