One natural detoxification method that is regaining popularity in modern society is colon hydrotherapy. It is the process of completely removing the pounds of impacted waste accumulated in the colon by gently pumping water into the colon using regulated pressure or simply gravity. In addition, during the procedure, massages or reflexology techniques are applied to the abdomen to promote muscle contraction or peristalsis and promote the final elimination of accumulated waste.
There are licensed hydrotherapy clinics where trained therapists administer the procedure. There are two types of machines used in colonic irrigation treatments: the closed tube system and the open basin system. The equipment is considered medical devices by United States law in that it is used to examine and treat certain medical conditions that actually alter the function or structure of the human body. Both types of machines are FDA approved.
Also, there are homemade colon kits, also known as colema kits, available in the market. Most of the colema kits have been reviewed and approved by the FDA. However, there are some that are being released on the market without FDA approval. Therefore, it is best to check the validity of the company that produces the colema you intend to buy.
Typically, a colema kit includes a 5 gallon gravity tank, colema board, tubing, and speculum. The colema board has an opening at one end with a protective shield for disposal and contamination purposes. Of course, the end of the board with the opening should sit on top of the toilet, while the other end should be supported by a chair or any support device to prevent it from tipping over.
The colema is performed with the individual lying on the board with the buttocks placed in the opening, against the shield. The 5 gallon gravity tank should be elevated 2 to 4 feet above the colonic table. The elevation creates a safe and comfortable pressure of 1 psi, which flows throughout the entire colon. The water to be used for the procedure must be sterilized or purified and preferably close to body temperature. In addition, the specula used on collemmas are similar to those used on open socket system colonics. It is as thin as a pencil, or perhaps narrower, and is 4 to 12 inches long.
The speculum is designed to remain in the rectum throughout the session. The narrow design allows water to flow through while also allowing water and debris to be released around you and into the toilet. Abdominal breathing techniques and abdominal massages can be performed to aid in cleansing. Although the procedure can be self-administered, it will be shown that assistance will make the procedure less difficult. The entire colonic session could last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the condition of the colon. Instructions on the proper use of the equipment, as well as disinfection of the equipment after use, may come with the kit.
The disadvantage of colemas is that there may be people who carry out the procedure incorrectly. Another case is the misuse of treatment. Professional medical advice is really essential in this procedure.
