There can be no other therapy which is more misunderstood, maligned and misused (by some) than colonic irrigation, to give it its original name – though it is more frequently known today as colonic hydrotherapy or colon therapy. The history of colonic irrigation as a therapy goes back a long way, and like most therapies of innate importance to health, records of its use are widely spread throughout the world. Accounts of its have been found on Egyptian papyrus dating back to 1500BC, but the Chinese used it long before then. So did Ayurvedic medicine from India, where techniques such as panchkarma included colon cleansing as part of their routine. The popularity of colonic irrigation – the flushing out of the colon to reduce the deposits building up on its walls – has grown steadily over the last few years. This book explains what colonic irrigation is, how it works, what happens during a treatment, and how it can enhance your health and well-being. This book also investigates other successful methods for cleansing the colon of its toxic deposits which can harbour disease and block nutritional uptake of vital minerals as colonic irrigation does not suit everyone, nor is it appropriate for everyone. Many people are finding the treatment of colonic irrigation to be highly effective in ridding the body of toxins, thought to affect both mental and physical function.
