Colon Hydrotherapy (Colonics)

Colonics are a safe, simple and naturally effective way to cleanse the body and puts you in control of your own health and wellness. Colonics can help a wide variety of conditions.

Colon Hydrotherapy is a 45-minute session experienced in a professional, clean, and private environment, facilitated by an I-ACT certified therapist. The session consists of a gentle flow of warm water into your colon (large intestine), washing away toxins, hydrating your whole body and promoting your body’s natural peristaltic action, which facilitates the movement of wastes through your intestinal tract and colon.

“ Every tissue in the body is fed by the bloodstream, which is supplied by the bowel. When the bowel is dirty the blood is dirty and so are the organs and tissues. It must be the bowel that is cared for first.” Bernard Jensen M.D.

We would like to share this experience of Natural Colon Cleansing or colonics with everyone.

With Natural Colon Cleansing, also called Colon Hydrotherapy or Colonics we have brought back the simplicity of wellness through a forgotten ancient natural method, which over time has helped maintain the wellbeing of people across many civilizations. Colonics are a safe, simple and naturally effective way to cleanse the body and puts you in control of your own health and wellness. If healthy, your bowel eliminations should be long, snake-like and float. How healthy is your elimination?

Excluding skin cancers, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States. The American Cancer Society’s estimates for the number of colorectal cancer cases in the United States for 2020 are:

  • 104,610 new cases of colon cancer
  • 43,340 new cases of rectal cancer

Colon Hydrotherapy has been around since around 1500B.C. and is mentioned not only in the Ebers Papyrus, an ancient Egyptian medical document, but also in the Essence Gospels of Peace. 

” So I tell you truly, suffer the angel of water to baptize you also within, that you may become free from all your past sins, and that within likewise you may become as pure as the river’s foam sporting in the sunlight.”

Why Cleanse?

As we started our cleansing program, we began to experience a progression towards an affirmative sense of well-being in our daily lives. We all experienced increased energy, frequent Bowel Movements after meals, healthier skin, clarity of mind, less allergies and illness, and gastrointestinal support. We are excited and proud to restore this lost art of cleansing at Atlanta Colonic & Massage. 

We strongly urge you to consider Colon Hydrotherapy if you suffer from one or more of the above. Some of the modern-day diseases of the colon such as chronic constipation, colitis, hemorrhoids, mucous colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome are often alleviated exclusively by an uninterrupted series of colonics as close together as possible. In today’s polluted environment and stressful lifestyle, detoxifying your body has become a necessity to help maintain wellness. Colonics offers a generally safe and effective way to cleanse our body’s “sewer system.” Our toxic environment is the very reason ACM was founded.

Autointoxification, What’s that?

If you are only eliminating once per day then you are at risk for autointoxification or self-poisoning. “Autointoxification is a term we use that means ‘you make yourself sick’ by reabsorbing the toxic water from your bowel back into your bloodstream.” – Brenda R. Generali, C.N.C.
.
The first reason autointoxification can occur is lack of water. If you’re thirsty then you’re already dehydrated.
The second reason is lack of exercise. If you don’t move neither will your bowel.
Third is too much junk food and not enough fiber. Eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables and minimize white flour and white sugar products.
And the last reason is because you simply have a “dirty bowel”.

Before Your Colonic Sessions:

Most people are a little uneasy before their first colonic, which is perfectly normal. To increase the benefits of your first session we recommend you do a few simple things:

  • Twenty-four hours prior to your session and/or during consecutive colonic sessions, try to avoid gas producing, processed, refined and fast foods. (ie. Broccoli, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, and raw vegetables)
  • Eat lightly two hours before your session (steamed vegetables, soups and fruit)
  • Drink plenty of water to keep your colon hydrated (Good rule of thumb is half your body weight in ounces)
  • Abstain from consuming the following: wine, beer, hard liquor, ice cream, fried and high fat foods, salty or smoked foods, carbonated drinks, highly refined grains and flour products, white sugar (stops the detoxification process), any foods that are difficult for you to digest, chewing gum (stomach continues to release enzymes for food digestion, so gum can create gas)
During:

The hardest part is over, you’re here! While on the LIBBE table we recommend you do the following:

  • Relax and allow the water to gently flow in and out of your colon. This assists in hydration of your body and builds stronger peristalsis, the movement of wastes through body.
  • Breathe slowly and deeply filling your lower abdomen with air. Relax and concentrate on your breathing.
  • You are in control of your session at all times. If you need to discontinue your session simply turn off the water flow and call your therapist.
  • You may feel some discomforts during your session, such as cramps, mild nausea or chills. These are completely normal and are more prevalent in those who are very toxic or constipated. Water flow adjustments and aroma therapies are used to alleviate these symptoms. Remember to relax.
  • We store some of our emotions in our guts and you could experience them during the cleansing process. Relax and release these repressed thoughts and feelings.
  • We have found allowing your colon to slowly fill with water and retaining that water as long you can before you release enables greater hydration, softening waste material for better elimination. Did we mention to relax?

LIBBE Colonic Experience

 

The therapist instructs the client how to correctly position themselves on the table, and explains how to insert the small rectal tube and then leaves the room. The client undresses from the waist down and gently and easily inserts the LIBBE Rectal Tube or cleansing nozzle, (which is about the size of a pencil), and covers themselves with the disposable drape provided for the session. The rectal tubes are single use and are properly disposed of after use. Insertion of the rectal tube SHOULD NEVER BE PAINFUL!

When the client is ready, they press a small button attached to the table. The therapist enters the room and starts a gentle slow rate of purified, temperature safe water which is fed from the gravity fed column. Less than six gallons of water is used during the session. Water flows through a Carbon Filter which removes any sediment, rust, or chlorine. The water is then purified by an Ultra Violet – Water Purification System before it passes through the rectal tube or cleansing nozzle. Water temperatures are at a safe 98-105°F and can be adjusted accordingly. Temperature and pressure are closely monitored and can be varied to stimulate peristalsis (muscular contraction) in the colon. During the therapy, the client comfortably lies on a colonic table while the water is infused into the large intestine, dislodging fecal matter, bacteria, mucus, and other Toxins. The dislodged fecal matter is gently washed away though the system’s drain. Peristalsis also promotes other organ systems to release toxins into the blood stream to be excreted through bowel elimination. There is minimal stress and effort on the part of the individual as the constant water flow assists the body function. The procedure is odorless, gentle, comfortable, and painless. No chemicals or drugs are involved and the entire therapy is both relaxing and effective. In most cases, it takes 8-12 treatments to remove sufficient buildup of accumulated tar-like substances.

An Odor Exhaust System ensures that the session room and entire center remains totally odor free. Feces releases naturally into the LIBBE base or table which has a clear viewing tube that allows the client and/or the therapist to easily view the feces during releases. A trained colon therapist is always nearby to monitor and provide client assistance and comfort as needed. A rinsing sprayer is used to rinse off after the session. The session lasts approximately 45 minutes with the client’s modesty protected at all times. After each session, the unit is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected with hospital grade disinfectant in preparation for future use. Today’s technology promotes both the safety and sanitation of this cleansing practice. Modern colon hydrotherapy equipment is manufactured in compliance with strict FDA guidelines. The FDA registered equipment features temperature-controlled water mixing, back flow prevention valves, pressure and temperature sensors, and a built-in chemical sanitizing and water purification unit. By the end of the 45-minute session, most of our clients express feeling like they’ve received an internal bath; cleansed and light. Some clients describe increased energy, clarity and a sense of wellbeing. Other clients express feeling fatigued or nauseated. This is because during the colonic you stir up toxins in the body and even though these symptoms may be uncomfortable it means the cleanse has gone well. The more you cleanse toxins from the body the less these symptoms become. This is why ACM highly suggests when you begin your cleansing program that you do two colonics within 48 hours or what we refer to as back to back.
