For me, I found it wasn't very helpful and a waste of money. And it's very uncomfortable imo.

I later found out it's detrimental to your colon's long term health and it's a better idea to use certain herbal colon cleanses, like Humacleanse, that will not only evacuate your bowel but it was also increase its strength over time (not all products, like laxatives, do this).

And to use homemade probiotics like kefir, raw milk and whole foods to improve the intestinal flora.

I think it's valid if you're in an emergency or you have an acute condition and need it flushed, but not for chronic long term use.

It's expensive too.

I think colonics are a good thing but they are limited in curing you. colonics provide a window into the workings of your body you wouldn’t otherwise get. The practitioners are usually very nice people and knowledgeable about BMs which they can read like old fashioned soothsayers! It was a revelation to me that I retained so much stuff inside me despite going every day (at that time). I found colonics especially helpful when I was doing a parasite cleanse (most when I did an Antibiotic one) and I had them before, during and after the medication.

The experience is clean and discreet, no nasty smells or sights. It is mildly uncomfortable but shouldn’t hurt. You feel spacey and tired afterwards and thirsty so take a drink. The normal thing is to have a course of three, a few weeks apart then maybe an annual. They are expensive so you are never going to have too many.

I took tablespoons of olive oil daily for a few weeks before. I was told I “released easily” and I guess this was why.

One annoying thing: the practitioners always try to sell you some product afterwards when you are not really concentrating. I have come away with a lot of useless stuff!

I found they dragged away my good bacteria as well toxins. My practioner did not implant any probiotics so this is something I would definately question before you undertake colonics. Good Luck.

Hi Kristy, have you tried colonics yet? I happen to be a practitioner of colon hydrotherapy so naturally I am an enthusiastic supporter of colonics and colon cleansing in general.

If you've had enemas in the past you will likely be pleasantly surprised how comfortable and refreshing a colonic can be. Most first-timers say that their colonic was easier than an enema.

I tell first time clients to think of the colonic as a gentle internal bath, so just relax and lay back and let your therapist do the work.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best wishes and let us know how it goes.

Enjoy!
