How to Make the Most out of a Series of Colon Hydro Therapy Sessions

The irrigations of machine driven colon hydrotherapy have a powerful cleansing effect on the entire system, mostly the body, but also the mind, as there is an emotional aspect to the process as well. However, the latter mainly manifests in the course of the treatment, whereas the physical after effects show after the treatment. Certain precautionary measures will therefore help you to maximize the therapeutic benefits of your treatment or treatment series.

Water: Even though much water is introduced into and flushed through your bowels when you receive colonic irrigations through a colon hydrotherapy machine, by relieving your body of old waste material, you are also losing a lot of water. Colon cleansing can be dehydrating. Therefore, keep on drinking as much pure spring water as possible to rebalance. You may add some electrolyte balancing solutions or have a nice vegetable broth or soup for a meal since they will also contribute to the electrolyte balance in your system.

Supplements: The main objective of colonic irrigation is to flush out harmful bacteria and toxins from the body. You can help your body in rebuilding helpful bacteria in the colon by taking pro biotic supplements. If you take a series of more than three consecutive treatments, taking probiotics are beneficial. A good multi-mineral supplementation is likewise suggested.

Exercise: Although you will eat differently while undergoing a colon cleanse, and definitely less in amount and less solid foods, the treatment will not weaken you to the degree that you would not want to move. Mild exercising will be beneficial as it helps you body to release toxins faster.

Relaxation: Colonic irrigation is a cleansing experience. You may want to slow down in terms of work and social activity, while you are undergoing it. Allow your mind to unwind and un-clutter while your body is doing the same. If you have the chance, take nice nature walks, a relaxed swim, read a good book, or meditate – if such is your inclination.

Yeast Flakes: According to some experts yeast flakes are a natural helper when it comes to easing the effects of colon cleansing. They are a nutritious source of minerals and vitamin B. You may add a spoonful to your soups, shakes or juices.

Reduced Diet: Try to eat as little as possible during and after a series of colonic irrigations. A nutritious liquid diet would be ideal. This way you can increase the cleansing effect of the treatment. Later you may gradually come back to your regular diet – or you may change your food habits in case they are not conducive to your overall health and vitality.
