Colonics
What We Offer
IntegrativeMed specialises in colon hydrotherapy (colonics) as well as a number of other unique treatments and therapies, designed to get patients feeling healthier than ever before. A strong focus is placed on preventative strategies, ensuring that you stay healthy.
Once your colon has been cleansed and your gut health restored, your practitioner will guide you on the way forward; customising a specific treatment plan suited to your lifestyle, any current health conditions you may have and your medical history.
How does it work?
Colon hydrotherapy (Colonics) is the safe, gentle infusion of warm filtered water into the rectum using no chemicals or drugs. This gentle, painless procedure flushes out impacted and accumulated wastes, toxins and allergens, and is the ultimate health, wellness and beauty treatment! Unlike laxatives and detoxes, colon hydrotherapy does not irritate the delicate gut lining. In fact, together with probiotic implants and supplements, the procedure actually helps restore balance as well as normal bowel functioning.
Once you are lying comfortably, your practitioner will gently insert a small, lubricated speculum into the rectum. The practitioner will monitor the temperature and pressure of the water infused into and out of the colon (large intestine), utilising a close system in which waste material is eliminated through the unit and out the drain line - quick, easy and odour free.
Through the use of deep abdominal massage, varying water pressure, temperature and technique against the bowel walls, a colonic directly affects peristalsis (the natural movements of the gut) and bowel function. The combination of massage and water, deeply cleanses and washes out the colon, releasing gas pockets (that contribute to abdominal bloating), built up stool and gut wall plaques and impaction.
