Question 1

What is colon hydrotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Colon hydrotherapy (also called a colonic) uses purified, temperature-controlled water to gently cleanse the colon of accumulated waste, gas, and toxins. It's not a cure for anything — it's a tool that helps your body function more efficiently by improving colon health.

Question 2

What's the difference between a colonic and an enema?

Accepted Answer

An enema is something you can do at home, but it only reaches the first 3–5 inches of the colon. A colonic is performed by a therapist and can cleanse the full length of the colon — roughly 5.5 feet.

Question 3

Is it painful?

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't be painful. Depending on your toxicity level and how compacted things are, your first session might be mildly uncomfortable as everything gets stirred up. Some clients feel light cramping or brief nausea, but that passes quickly once things start moving. Most people feel lighter and refreshed afterward.

Question 4

What happens during a session?

Accepted Answer

You'll start by using the restroom, then change into a gown from the waist down. You'll lie on your left side for the insertion of a small disposable speculum, then roll onto your back for the rest of the treatment. Warm, purified water flows into the colon while the therapist adjusts temperature to stimulate natural movement. There's no odor, sound, or mess. Sessions run about 35–55 minutes.

Question 5

How long should I allow for my visit?

Accepted Answer

Plan for about an hour per visit. If it's your first time, allow 1.5 hours to cover paperwork and an initial consultation.

Question 6

Will one session be enough?

Accepted Answer

One session will help, but it usually isn't a full cleanse. The colon is about 5.5 feet long — the first session typically removes some buildup, but a series of three within a ten-day window tends to produce the best results. Call us and we'll suggest a plan based on your situation.

Question 7

How should I prepare?

Accepted Answer

Don't eat or drink anything two hours before your session. Hydrate well the day before. Avoid alcohol, carbonated drinks, and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts) for a couple of days prior. Skip intense exercise the day of. Juicing and fasting are great complements if that's your thing.

Question 8

What should I do after?

Accepted Answer

Take it easy. Drink plenty of water and electrolytes. Eat light — cooked vegetables, lean protein, grains. Epsom salt baths can be helpful. Avoid fatty meats, raw vegetables, bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks, dairy, sugar, and heavily processed foods for the rest of the day.

Question 9

What is electro-lymphatic drainage?

Accepted Answer

Electro-lymphatic drainage (ELD) is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that uses light, sound, and electrical wave energies to stimulate the flow of lymph throughout the body. It helps break up congested lymph tissue and supports your body's natural detoxification process.

Question 10

What does a session feel like?

Accepted Answer

Most clients find it deeply relaxing. The therapist uses a handheld device that glides over the skin with a light touch. There's no pain involved — many people feel a gentle warmth or tingling sensation. Sessions typically last about an hour.

Question 11

Why combine it with a colonic?

Accepted Answer

ELD flushes toxins from the lymphatic system into the gut. Following it with a colonic immediately clears that waste out of the body, so you get the benefits of both therapies in one visit. It's the most effective way to do a full detox.

Question 12

Who can benefit from ELD?

Accepted Answer

Anyone dealing with fluid retention, sluggish immunity, post-surgical swelling, chronic fatigue, or general congestion. It's also popular for clients looking to reduce puffiness and improve skin appearance.

Question 13

Who should not have a colonic?

Accepted Answer

Colon hydrotherapy is contraindicated for a number of conditions including: cancer of the bowel, rectum, liver, or kidney; pregnancy; recent abdominal or rectal surgery; diverticulitis or Crohn's disease in an inflamed state; heart, liver, kidney, or gall bladder disease; severe hemorrhoids; unmonitored high blood pressure; severe anemia; inflamed fissures or fistulas; ulcerative colitis; renal insufficiency; cirrhosis; abdominal hernia; intestinal perforation; and epilepsy or seizures.

Question 14

When do session packages expire?

Accepted Answer

All packages of three or six sessions expire 6 months from the date of purchase.

Question 15

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We ask for 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Missed appointments or late cancellations are charged the full session fee. If you're more than 15 minutes late, we may not be able to fit you in and the same fee applies. We'll always do our best to find another time that works.
