Why have a colon hydrotherapy session or a colonic at Heal Thyself Atlanta?

If you are at the point in your life when you are considering doing colon hydrotherapy procedure or would like to learn why it may be beneficial to your health, here are just a few of the top benefits of colon hydrotherapy or colonic.

Though many people may still not be familiar with colon hydrotherapy procedure, it has been practiced around the world for thousands of years and for a good reason. Colon Hydrotherapy or colonic is the use of purified water to expel waste, relieve constipation, and increase energy levels. This procedure most importantly improves your overall health and wellness! 

Why is Colon Hydrotherapy or Colonic beneficial to your health and how can we help you?

PREVENTS CONSTIPATION

Constipation is generally described as having fewer than two bowel movements a day. Constipation causes a sluggish digestive response, which in turn leaves waste in the system longer and it increases the likelihood of certain conditions and irritations, such as leaky gut, varicose veins and hemorrhoids.

IMPROVES DIGESTION

As a result of constipation, the body's ability to absorb important nutrients resulting in decreased energy gets impaired. Colonic pushes undigested waste through your system and allows the body to absorb the nutrients it needs to thrive. A clean colon from a colon hydrotherapy session allows waste to pass easily and out of the body.

INCREASED ENERGY AND BETTER MOOD

Colonic helps you to release the toxins from your body and individuals who undergo colon hydrotherapy enjoy a boost in energy, better mood, improved blood circulation and more restful sleep. The nerves located in the bowel and the brain communicate affecting chemical signals sent by the central nervous system throughout the body.

BOOSTS ABSORPTION OF VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS

A cleansed colon allows nutrients, vitamins and water to be absorbed into the bloodstream, creating an unobstructed path for essential nutrients to filter into your body.

IMPROVED FOCUS ATTENTION

Poor diet and ineffective vitamin absorption can cause you to become distracted and lose concentration. The buildup of toxins and mucus in your colon can keep your body from getting what it needs to function, even if you eat a consistently healthy diet. Cleansing the colon with colonic can be the difference between feeling alert and not being able to focus.

INCREASE FERTILITY

A colon that is weighed down by years of buildup can also press on the uterus, ovaries and surrounding reproductive organs which causes strain. Colon cleansing rids the body of many chemicals and toxins that affect the egg and sperm, keeping your weight and estrogen under control. Naturopathic doctors recommend that both partners undergo colon cleansing.

MAINTAINS pH BALANCE

Acidic foods, particularly high protein diets without enough fiber causes malaise in the body and colon’s tissue eventually becomes inflamed and does not allow minerals, vitamins and water to pass into the bloodstream. The body’s pH thrown out of balance causes a whole host of issues to the body, if yeasts, fungus, molds, parasites, bacteria and fecal material enter the bloodstream and connected tissue.

LOWERS THE RISK OF COLON CANCER

According to the American Society, excluding skin cancers, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women. Toxins we encounter each day are absorbed through our skin and processed by the body’s liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal system. Colonic forces these toxins from organs before they have the chance to damage the body's internal systems. Colon hydrotherapy decreases the risk of cysts, polyps, and cancerous growth in your gastrointestinal tract.

CLEARER SKIN

Do you know that colonics eliminate toxins before they have the chance to reach the surface, thus resulting in clearer and healthier skin? Toxins hiding-out in the colon reach the bloodstream and escape through the pores of the skin and these toxins clog-up pores leaving behind various forms of acne.

KICK-START WEIGHT LOSS

The average human colon length is about six feet long and weighs about four pounds empty and can hold up to eight meals’ worth of food before digestion finally occurs. Foods lacking in fiber move through the digestive tract at one-quarter the pace of high-fiber choices. This slow-moving food produces excess mucous that literally sticks to the intestinal tract down with pounds of decaying fecal matter.

A colon cleansing can result in significant weight loss (some people claim to have lost up to 20 pounds over the course of a month) and kick-start your metabolism, as well as refocus your attention on better food choices and whole-body wellness.
