Colonic Hydrotherapy Pre-Treatment and After Care

How to get the very best from your Colonic Irrigation Hydrotherapy treatment with me.

​​

Preparing…

It is advisable to prepare the day before your session by drinking a few litres of water throughout the day (tip: try to do this every day) to ensure you're well-hydrated before your session with me. Eat healthy and nourishing foods the day before and on the day of your colonic hydrotherapy session. Eating a meal, 2-4 hours before your colonic session is ideal, but no food or beverage should be consumed within 2 hours (except small amounts of water) appointment with me.

During...
Your colonic hydrotherapy session will last up to 45 minutes, and a total of two to six litres of filtered water is used to gently flush your colon. Through this process and by gentle abdominal massage, old deposits of mucoid faecal matter (waste mixed with hardened old mucus) are loosened and subsequently flushed out by the water.

​​

After...
After your session, I recommend you take probiotic supplements or book an add-on of a high-strength probiotic implant to your treatment.

During a colonic, some of the good bacteria, along with the bad, may be eliminated from your colon. The probiotics will repopulate your system with the good bacteria you need, strengthening your “good army”.

It is also advisable to hydrate further by sipping water and maybe bring a piece of fruit to eat, to nourish and replenish energy levels. I advise you to eat a very light meal with pure, easy-to-digest foods for the remainder of the day. Try to stay away from raw, overly rich or heavy foods. You have just cleansed your system, and I suggest you allow your body the time it needs to rest and relax, so it can go to work to heal you, rather than go to work digesting rich meals. Other excellent post-treatment dietary options include fresh veggie juice, steamed vegetables, a non-cream-based soup, light fish and soft whole grains. Please avoid spicy foods and try to stay away from alcohol - it will go directly to your head and may cause a stomachache because it may be too strong for your freshly cleansed system.

It is fine to carry on with your normal daily plans or to return to work, as you will feel fine. Most people feel energetic, light and in a very positive mood after a cleansing. One good choice, like internal cleansing, often leads to another, so if you have the day to yourself, go for a long walk or do yoga. Make it a day of bettering yourself.
