COLON HYDROTHERAPY: A NEW APPROACH TO CLEANSE YOUR BODY

Are you suffering from constipation, irritable bowel disorder, stress, obesity or joint pains? Colon-hydrotherapy, an internationally popular medical remedy, introduced in Hyderabad recently can be the solution. Colon-hydrotherapy is about cleansing the colon with pure, warm water and flushing out all toxins accumulated in the body and rendering us hale and healthy. Experts say it is a safe, hygienic procedure which
maintains overall health and is painless.

Take the case of Rekha, an obese homemaker and mother of two children. Her husband was in the US on an offshore project. After she got to know that her husband was going to visit India in three months, she
wanted to lose weight and become slim to surprise him. She underwent colon hydrotherapy for two months and strictly followed the diet advised by the doctors and nutritionists. Surprisingly, she lost 14 kilos in three months! The patient came all the way from Aathmakur in Nellore district to Hyderabad for this treatment. “The procedure is administered under strict supervision of doctors, nutritionists and technical experts of
therapy", told Rajagopal, Director Reva Health, Skin and Hair Medical Institute.

Colon hydrotherapy increases the process of contraction of the muscles. There are contraindications also. Colon hydrotherapy is not recommended in pregnant women, colon cancer patients or those suffering from congestive heart failure, carcinoma of the rectum, et cetera."By undergoing the therapy, one can eliminate toxins from the body that brings change in the overall health of the patient. When toxins are flushed out, natural stress or tension decrease slowly. We lose weight also. Meanwhile, it helps improve our metabolism and absorption. It makes the body active and relaxed," explained Koumudi, technical expert of Colon hydrotherapy.

"Of course, the therapy also helps reduce body or joint pains successfully. It simultaneously improves contractions of the muscles, decreases weight, minimizes the risk of piles and boosts up the immunity power" she added. "In this therapy, warm water is introduced at a low gravitational pressure so that there is no threat of bowel contraction. Here, we use only disposable single-use rectal tubes and speculums. Those undergoing the procedure should have a light meal a couple of hours before the therapy. And warm filtered water is introduced via a speculum into the rectum and up into the colon where it soaks and cleanse the unwanted material. The water, as we said previously, stimulates the contraction of the colon. So the colon then pushes the water and matter out through the tube. The body itself does the work. It is an exercise for the bowel. That's why we always mention it as naturopathic exercise", explained Rajagopal.

The number of colon hydrotherapy sessions necessary differs from one patient to another. It needs an individual-specific approach."Toxins form in the body because of lifestyle changes, junk food sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet practices. One person can approach us for cleansing the colon, somebody asks to flush out toxins from the body, some to solve constipation problem and some to eliminate the body pains or joint pains and stress et cetera," told Koumudi. Each sitting costs around Rs. 2,500. The first sitting typically takes up to one hour and lesser in the subsequent sittings.
