The colon in human body is considered to be an important part of the digestive system, as this is the place where the digestion of food gets completed. The essential nutrients are absorbed and unwanted toxins and waste material is made ready to be thrown out of the body.

As the colon is regularly exposed to such toxins, they also settle on the inner lining of the colon and may interfere with its regular functioning. This can give rise to various complaints like indigestion, pain, difficulty in passing motions, constipation, etc.

 

Method

There are special equipments and appliances required for the colon therapy treatment. While this therapy is more sophisticated, one can feel it is similar to enema treatment. In this treatment method, warm water is gently infused into the colon through the rectum. This is performed by a trained therapist and the procedure is executed under medical supervision.

 

The water that is infused, cleanses the colon and the water that drains out contains impacted feces, toxic and infectious material. If required, the abdominal activity of the patient is gently manipulated by the therapist to assist the cleansing process.
