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 cleanse 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.
