What is the difference between an enema and a colonic?
Enemas are useful for emptying the rectum, the lowest 8 to 12 inches of the colon. Usually, one or two pints of water are used to do that. Colonics typically consist of a 45 minute session during which approximately 15 gallons of water are used to gently flush the colon. Through appropriate use of massage, pressure points, etc., the colon therapist is able to work loose and eliminate far more toxic waste than any other short-term technique.
