When the body is in balance, every organ works in harmony and supports the whole being to live more.

The daily pressures of 21st century living often mean longer working hours, not enough sleep, low water intake, not enough exercise and poor diet. Unsurprisingly, toxins build up in our bodies and start to affect cells, tissues and energy levels.

When the body needs rebalancing, the built up toxicity often manifests itself through one or more parts of the body:

• colon: resulting in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation, diarrhoea, spastic colon, atonic colon, sluggishness, flatulence, haemorrhoids, abdominal bloating, intestinal candida and parasites
• lungs: causing asthma, halitosis (bad breath)
• skin: provoking eczema, psoriasis, sallow complexion and other skin problems, e.g. acne
• liver and kidneys: increased toxicity, sluggishness, pain

Congestive conditions can also be linked to toxicity (headache, migraine, ear, nose and throat blockages and sinus problems as well as allergies, where the body can no longer tolerate certain substances).

Emotional toxicity as well as physical toxicity can manifest itself in various ways: the solar plexus is the emotional centre of the body and the transverse colon passes right through it. If an emotional event is left uncompleted, it often results in physical tension being stored in the solar plexus, which affects all organs in the area, including the colon. This ongoing tightening of the colon muscle results in diminished movement of faecal material through the colon, which is known as constipation: This can result in: depression, lethargy, anxiety and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

A course of colon hydrotherapy treatments combined with sensible eating allows the body to detoxify thereby achieving the following positive benefits:

• Cleansing of the colon and other elimination organs, thereby relieving symptoms associated with toxicity
• Exercising of the colon muscles: Because of the continuous inflow of water and subsequent release during the treatment, the body naturally uses the colon muscles to evacuate waste matter, providing a more gentle release. At the same time, the peristalsis (action of the muscles of the colon) is greatly stimulated and this acts as an excellent workout for the colon, therefore providing relief from constipation, spastic colon and atonic colon.
• Reshaping of the colon: An abnormally shaped colon regains its natural state through the gentle action of the water, coupled with the therapist’s massage techniques

More specific conditions like bloating linked to period pains and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may also be relieved through colon hydrotherapy.

Allergies are often a manifestation of internal imbalance. Colon hydrotherapy combined with good nutrition and exercising can greatly help to relieve these symptoms.

Colon hydrotherapy may additionally prove beneficial in the rehabilitative treatment of drug (prescription and narcotic) and other addictions, via the periodic flushing of the chemical toxins out of the body, combined with a properly devised addiction recovery plan.

Bespoke treatment programmes

Med-Spa recommends a bespoke treatment programme for every client, as every person’s health is unique. Therefore, the duration and frequency of this programme is based entirely on the individual needs and objectives of each client. One session very rarely accomplishes the desired result and a short course is usually recommended.

Med-Spa’s highly trained practitioners will assess your lifestyle (diet, exercise regime, exposure to stress) to identify sources for the various conditions and recommend a bespoke treatment plan, monitoring results throughout the programme. Generally, a cleansing and detoxifying programme is highly beneficial in most cases.

Clinical/Surgery use: Colon hydrotherapy (colonic irrigation) can be used in place of laxatives for certain diagnostic tests as well as pre- and post-surgical procedures. This solution is not only more natural but more practical and is often preferred by clients who choose to be free from the obvious implications of laxative intake and wish to be able to carry on their daily routine as normal. Please note this does not replace your doctors’ advice. Please contact us for the Physicians Specialty Protocol.

Whatever your needs are, contact us directly or ask your health practitioner to get in touch with us to discuss your case to enable us to devise a bespoke programme that is achievable for you.

Rebalancing your system is an investment in yourself and one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Once the internal system is in balance, most of our clients experience a renewed sense of vitality and a remarkable feeling of joy and elation which many may not have enjoyed for a long time.
