What is Colon Hydrotherapy (Colonic Irrigation or Colonics)?
Colonics have been around in one form or another for thousands of years. In fact, there are pictures on the walls of ancient Egyptian temples of servants administering colonics to the Kings and Queens of the day. Is there any doubt that this is truly a royal treatment? In the 1800s and early part of the 1900s almost every hospital and clinic in the U.S. was offering colonics as an integral part of there wellness protocol. When the pharmaceutical industry gained power in the mid-1900s colonics were pushed to the background.

Colon hydrotherapy is best used in combination with adequate nutrient and fluid intake as well as exercise. Today’s sophisticated technology promotes both the safety and sanitation of this popular cleansing practice
