How does Colon Hydrotherapy compare with laxatives?
Both natural and chemical laxatives can irritate the colon wall and
destroy both friendly and unfriendly bacteria in the bowel. If
laxatives are taken more than periodically, your body may adjust and
become dependent on them. Laxatives may interfere with the rest of the
digestive system and could cause further problems. Conversely, colon
hydrotherapy uses water to gently clean the colon, and thus, does not
irritate the colon walls. It poses no risk of dependency, and it does
not interfere with the rest of the digestive system. Are Colonics painful?
Colonics are painless. Some discomfort may be experienced due to
constipation, some form of obstruction, spasticity, excess flatulence (gases) and occasional cramping from the
release of fecal matter or toxins. Can I catch a disease from colon hydrotherapy?
The Angel of
Water® CM-1 system uses a sterile disposable nozzle for insertion into
the anal canal, and the system is designed for easy sanitizing and
disinfecting.
How much Fecal Matter can you lose per session?
A person can lose up to three or more pounds per colonic session,
depending on how loose the stool is and the condition of the colon.
