How do colonics compare to an enema?
An enema only reaches about 1 foot into the colon, known as the sigmoid colon, which is the lowest part of the large intestine. The colonic system allows water to reach and cleanse the entire six feet of your colon, making it more effective than an enema. Enemas can be uncomfortable, many times requiring you to lie down on the bathroom floor. As compared to colonics, you are completely covered and in a private room with a trained therapist that walks you through the entire process.
