Frequently Asked Questions

1.

How many colonics do I need?

I-ACT (The International Association for Colon Therapy) suggests 12 sessions in a close time period. We have found that our clients have the best results when they have 3 colonics within a 1 week period. After that, twice a week for 3 weeks. With some diet changes, our clients start to feel the difference after the 2nd colonic. After 6 sessions (if done close together, and diet change) our clients usually have increased bowel movements on their own. Many clients, after their initial 12 sessions, choose to have 1 colonic every month to maintain the colon in good condition.  Everyone is different though. Some people are in chronic situations and even 12 are not enough treatments. Your therapist will help you make the proper decision for your needs.


2.

How do I know I have had enough colonics?

 

 The signs of a well functioning colon are when you have 2-3 bowel movements a day, your fecal matter floats with no bad odor and there should be no fecal matter on the toilet paper when you wipe. When you have fecal matter on the toilet paper then you have had an incomplete bowel movement and this indicates you still need treatments. Everyone is different. Some people are in chronic situations and even 12 treatments are not enough. Your therapist will help you make the proper decision for your needs.

We clean the engines of our cars and Spring clean our homes, we must not forget our bodies. Keeping ourselves clean is an effort in many ways. What we drink, eat, the air that we breathe, the negative thoughts we think all have an effect. Meditation is truly the first step to health.  Keeping positive, no matter what, can drastically change the way we feel.


3.

How will I feel after a colonic?

Most people feel energized, lighter and excited about the path of healing.  However, when you are very toxic you may feel some flu like symptoms.  With some rest and plenty of water, the symptoms don't last long.


4.

Can I have a session when I am on my menstrual cycle?

Yes, this is your body's natural time to cleanse.  It will also help to alleviate cramps.


5.

Does it hurt?

No.  You may experience some cramping initally caused by gas but once released the cramping subsides.
