FAQ

Colon hydrotherapy, also referred to as a colonic, is an internal bath that helps cleanse the colon of toxins, gas and accumulated fecal matter. Unlike an enema, it does not involve the retention of water, just a steady gentle flow in and out of the colon. At the same time, abdominal work is given to stimulate the colon to recover its natural shape, tone, and peristaltic wave action.

We begin the session with optional inversion, followed by soothing abdominal work and lower lumbar stimulation, all of which helps your body to relax, enhancing the effectiveness and maximizing the results of the colonic. A sterilized speculum is gently inserted into the rectum and, while regulating the soothing flow of water, we assist with aromatherapy and abdominal work, helping the colon to release its contents. You will be warm and well covered, as your comfort is given top priority throughout the session.

The number of treatments always varies with the individual and his/her condition. Some people may not have startling results within the first few treatments. This is why a controlled series of treatments is advisable. Most clients, utilizing a combination of exercise and a properly balanced diet, will achieve maximum benefits within 6-10 sessions.

Not in the vast majority of cases. However, while toxins which have been lying dormant in the colon are being flushed out, a small amount may be re-absorbed into the body’s system. These toxins may cause a small percentage of people to experience a brief headache, chills or nausea.

We use a 100% Therapist-Controlled Gravity-Flow Closed System (also known as a Woods System.)  This is one of the gentlest, safest and most comfortable systems in our opinion, which is why we use it!

An ionic foot bath is a safe, non-invasive detoxification method which removes toxins through your feet.  This therapy combines the life-giving properties of water with a specialized bio-electric charge that enhances and amplifies your body’s natural ability to heal itself and rid itself of toxins regardless of where they are located.  Here at Kalamazoo Colonics, we use a machine called The Bodyguard .

The Bodyguard: two body cleansing applications in one dependable device:

1. Aqua Foot Bath Ionizer for Toxin Release

2. Frequency Generator for Energizing the Body

Frequency generators energize our bodies with a positive square wave frequency (ranging from 1.9 KHz to over 950KHz) which strengthens our immune system and organs.  It creates in us an environment that repels pathogens, bacteria, fungus, and viruses, allowing our bodies to acquire a state of balance and health.

The body detoxifies while you are comfortably seated with your feet placed in a container of warm salt water and stainless steel bars, which ionize the water.  In your hands, you will periodically hold two small bars which send frequencies through your body, boosting your body’s natural detoxification and healing processes.  After your 45 minute foot bath, you will be offered a drink to promote electrolyte balance while your practitioner bathes and opens energy pathways in your feet.

While ionic foot baths are safe for most, they aren’t recommended for everyone.  If you have a pacemaker, transplanted organs, are pregnant, nursing  or taking medications to regulate brain chemistry, this therapy may not be for you.
