+ What is Colon Hydrotherapy?

Colon Hydrotherapy is also referred to as colonics or colon irrigation. These are names for hydrotherapy which uses water for inner cleansing. There are two types of colon irrigation systems; the Open and Closed systems. At Complete Trinity, we use the "open system" colonic table only. We do not have the "closed system" available at our facility at this time.

Colon Hydrotherapy is clean and relaxing. A soothing flow of purified warm water is instilled gently into the colon through a disposable rectal nozzle that is about the size of a no. 2 pencil. The small rectal nozzle is easily inserted to cleanse (evacuate) the contents of your lower colon. Professional Colon Hydrotherapy Devices have systems that the pressure, temperature and flow of water, are all safely regulated throughout the session. The water is purified with an Ultra Violet Water Purification System. Our devices are comfortable and may be operated in privacy for those who prefer solitude. Your dignity and privacy is always maintained as you desire for your comfort. There is no odor! Odor is whisked away thru the sewer drain pipe.

+ What is the colon and what does it do?

The colon or large intestine is the end portion of the human gastrointestinal tract. It is a muscular tube of approximately 5 1/2 to 6 feet long and has an average diameter of approximately 2 ½ inches. The main functions of the colon are absorption of water and minerals, and the formation and elimination of fecal matter. The colon contains billions of nearly 60 varieties of micro flora or bacteria that make up approximately 70% of the dry weight feces. These bacteria aid digestion, promote vital nutrient production, maintain pH (acid-base) balance, and prevent proliferation of harmful bacteria. These bacteria provide important functions such as the synthesis of folic acid and valuable nutrients from food, including vitamin ‘K’ and portions of the ‘B’ complex.

+ What are some of the signs and symptoms that the colon is not efficiently eliminating?

Constipation, Chronic Fatigue, Headaches, Depression, Bad breath, Gas, Arthritis, Brain fog, 'pot belly', Depression, Obesity, PMS Indigestion, Bloating, Body Odor, Swelling of legs, Tension, Allergies, Backaches, Brittle nails and hair, Circles under the eyes, and Asthma

+ Is Colon Hydrotherapy painful?

Many of you are wondering if colon hydrotherapy is painful. Unlike the older version referred to as the "Closed System" (white tube illustrated below), our rectal tube used in the “Open System,” is the size of a no. 2 pencil (blue tube illustrated) and is inserted with the help of a water-based lubricant, just about 3-4 inches into the rectum. You feel virtually no pain or discomfort with the insertion of the tube. If any discomfort at all, once your session has begun, it’s usually due to some cramping when the fecal matter and toxins are breaking down, along with gas bubbles passing through the large intestine. Sometimes nausea may be an accompanying symptom as these components are breaking down. You can either insert for yourself or your therapist can help guide you with the insertion. It’s quick and easy! We understand how awkward it may be to move forward with this procedure so we are standing by to help ease you through this process every step of the way. Once your session has begun, and we see that you have gotten the hang of how the procedure works, your therapist will leave you to your privacy and will be back every 15-20 minutes to check in with you and your progress.

+ How many colon hydrotherapy sessions a person needs?

The number of sessions varies depending on the current conditions, issues and goals of the individual. Are you coming in for a general reset and detox? Are you constipated? Eager to purge medications and other chemical substances? Going vegan? Are you on a weight loss journey? All of these individual reasons would require a different frequency of sessions used.

· Ideally, use 2-3 sessions within the first week. Why? Because pending current issues, lifestyle habits, eating habits, dehydration and medications that cause dehydration, the first colonic may not yield the most thorough release and purge. Session 1 may be more of a loosening session. Where as sessions 2 and 3 are most common to release more fecal matter as well as deeper embedded toxins stuck in the lining of the colon.

· 2-3 sessions the second week, preferably every 3-4 days is best and if continuing on your colonic journey with us. However, we do understand the scheduling between hectic schedules. So at the very latest, no later than once per week/per session, please.

· Then once initial series has been completed, you may then maintain per therapist’s suggestions. You may need to continue on a weekly basis after that until your body indicates it no longer needs the treatment. For maintenance, you may choose to have one session every 1-2 months or as your body needs. Some clients choose to have a session once a month for ongoing cleansing and toning. If you are on a fasting or detoxification program, it is highly recommended that you include colonics as part of it. In addition, if you get sick, colonics could help with lymphatic drainage and potentially speeding up your healing process. Clients that have the most success complete the recommended series.

NOTE: 3-6 sessions in 2 weeks is the minimum recommended.
