What is the difference between a colonic and an enema?
An enema is the insertion of around 1 litre of fluid into the lower part of the bowel. Once injected, the fluid is held for as long as possible before being expelled with any constipated material from that lower part of the bowel. A simple practice that has long been used to start the bowel moving again. However, its effects are temporary and merely lessen the autointoxicing effects of constipation. Colonics are a continuous flow of water throughout the entire colon, whilst relaxing in the prone position. In gravity-fed colonics, such as we practice, the water expands the bowel to a level at which its own triggers tell it when to eliminate. Without any need to hold the water inside, or to move at all during the process, they are not only painless, but -to be honest – very relaxing akin to being massaged from the inside.
