How does Colon Hydrotherapy differ from enemas?
Enemas serve as a good way to clean out the sigmoid and rectal areas of the colon, which represent the terminal end of the colon and extend to about 1ft in length. A series of colon-hydrotherapy treatments can clean and remove impacted material from the whole colon, which is approximately 5 1/2 ft long. Additionally, colon hydrotherapy promotes colon peristalsis (smooth muscle contraction to propel colon contents) and assists the colon muscles to improve and regain tone. This effectively results in assisting the return of regular bowel movements.
