You may visit the dentist, wear SPF and work out, but what are you doing to take care of your digestive system and your hard working colon?
The colon is one of the most neglected, yet vital organs for a healthy body. The colon or also known as the large intestine is a 1.5-meter-long muscular tube that sits at the end of the digestive tract system and is responsible for conserving water and eliminating waste in the body. It is the body sewage system which eliminates toxins like compacted feces, dead cells and parasites from the body, through the colon and out of the anus. The colon plays such an important role in our bodies, you’re probably wondering how can I take care of it? Well, the most effective way to clean your colon is by having a ‘colonic’.
How do you clean your colon?
A colonic or colonic irrigation can be best described as a discreet “internal bath”. This detoxifying treatment involves a trained therapist using purified water to gently flush your colon via a disposable rectal tube. The water slowly loosens and flushes excess waste built-up in the colon by encouraging the colon muscle to move and strengthen, so any old sticky, gristly, gaseous or mucous waste materials are loosened and gently removed from the body. At Clarity Essential Wellness we use a closed system which is safe, customisable, and completely odour- and mess-free.
Why have a colonic?
The steps our bodies undergo after eating, between the stomach and the toilet, has a serious daily impact on our energy, emotions, vitality, complexion and susceptibility to disease. If you suffer from the following, then colonic irrigation may be the solution you have been looking for:
Constipation - The most common causes of constipation include not getting enough fibre in the daily diet, insufficient fluid intake and lack of exercise. When waste is permitted to accumulate for longer than normal, it increases the chances of bacteria and toxins being absorbed back into your bloodstream. Regular colon hydrotherapy gives your bowel a spring clean and strengthens the muscles of your bowel, ensuring it remains healthy and constipation free.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - Food that isn’t properly digested hides in the folds of your bowel wall, allowing bad bacteria to flourish and contribute to the feelings of bloating, gassiness, cramping, and urgent or delayed bowel movements that are associated with digestive complaints. Colon cleansing clears the way for improved nutrient absorption, eliminating bad bacteria and toxins, and restores balance to your gut.
Feeling tired and sluggish - By cleansing your colon and improving its functions, the entire body is able to function more efficiently, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and full of energy. Weak immune system - It is essential that we keep our colon clean so that we have a perfect breeding ground for healthy gut flora to proliferate. Regular cleansing means the immune system has less work to do, leaving it in a stronger state to fight the important battles.
What are the benefits of a colonic?
The process of colon cleansing may initially sound intimidating or uncomfortable. However, a clean and hydrated colon enables the body to refresh, cleanse and support all the other organs. Colonic hydrotherapy has enormous health benefits and could make a huge difference to your daily life, these benefits include:
A lower risk of developing bowel cancer
