What is Colonic Hydrotherapy ?
Colonic Hydrotherapy, Colon Irrigation and Colonics are all terms for the
same process. It is in fact one of the most powerful and effective ways of
cleansing and detoxifying the system.
Records of Colonic Hydrotherapy and enemas are found as far back as 4,000 BC
in Egypt where they were seen as an important adjunct to maintaining health.
Their popularity faded in the 1930's with the increased influence of the drug
industry.
As
the medical profession became more academic and Hi-tech the gap between supportive natural remedies and
allopathic treatment widened. The increase
of health awareness in the general public today has brought Colonic
Hydrotherapy back as a valuable and effective mode of health care.
