Colonic Hydrotherapy / Colonic Irrigation
Colonic hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, has its roots in ancient times across different cultures and was standard practice in UK doctors’ surgeries and hospitals from the 1920s to the 1940s, after which medication and surgical interventions became more popular. Now colonic cleanse treatments have enjoyed a huge resurgence in popularity, as people rediscover the benefits of this drug-free therapy and its outstanding health outcomes.

At The Cleansing Space, Ruth brings her knowledge and experience to every treatment, using the most up-to-date equipment and techniques to provide relaxing detox and colonic hydrotherapy treatments in specially created spaces with private facilities for clients’ use. Ruth practises Colonic Hydrotherapy Cleansing from three locations: The Cleansing Space in Penzance, Blue Lotus Therapy Centre, and the Light Centre in Belgravia, so you can enjoy the same trusted care wherever suits you best.

Colonic hydrotherapy involves filtered water, warmed to body temperature, gently flushing out the colon following the insertion of a lubricated, specially designed tube, to introduce water and remove waste. A colonic cleanse in this way helps to remove impacted waste, indigestible toxins, bad bacteria, and excess mucous from the colon, unwelcome guests that can otherwise contribute to illness and disease.

The odourless, therapeutic treatment lasts approximately 40 minutes. While the sensations may be new, the procedure is pain-free and not uncomfortable. Virtually all clients report that it is a relaxing and relieving treatment.

Why have a Colonic Hydrotherapy treatment?

The bowel is not as efficient an organ of elimination as you might think!

A typical colon may be carrying:

      • putrefying food
      • bacteria
      • viruses
      • indigestible chemicals
      • excess mucous
      • encrusted pockets of fermented waste (faeces).
Colonic hydrotherapy, or colonic irrigation as it is also known, helps to eliminate these from the body to provide a range of outstanding health benefits (see under Benefits), greater bodily comfort and a feeling of well-being. Even if you feel healthy and have a regular bowel movement once a day, you may be re-absorbing up to 85% of bowel toxins into your body systems through your bloodstream, which in turn may transport them into your lymphatic and circulatory systems as well as organs such as the lungs and kidneys. This process, which is called ‘auto-intoxication’, can lead to illness and disease. Patients who are suffering from the following conditions use colonic hydrotherapy because it makes a valuable contribution to them maintaining good health:
  • Allergies
  • Food cravings
  • Insomnia
  • Diarrhoea
  • Abdominal discomfort
  • Excessive gas
  • Depression
  • Menstrual problems
  • Bloated stomach
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Constipation
  • Indigestion
  • Irritability
  • Poor circulation
  • Candida
  • Haemorrhoids
  • Excess weight gain
  • Headaches Skin problems
  • Stomach pain
  • Bad breath
  • Nausea
  • Colitis
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

BENEFITS OF COLONIC HYDROTHERAPY

Some patients have colonic hydrotherapy to help deal with specific health conditions. Many people who have completed a course of colonic hydrotherapy treatments not only feel good but look great as well.

  • Decreased bloating
  • Increased energy
  • Improved digestion
  • Reduction of heartburn and indigestion
  • Improved sleep
  • Improved metabolism
  • Decrease in food cravings
  • Restoring PH balance to the body

WHAT HAPPENS IN A TREATMENT

For your initial treatment, Ruth will undertake a comprehensive consultation to understand your medical history along with any dietary or lifestyle issues. This is also the time to discuss your treatment goals, as Ruth’s broad knowledge base helps guide you towards these goals and determine your treatment priorities.

At The Cleansing Space, whether you visit Ruth in Penzance, at Blue Lotus Therapy Centre, or at the Light Centre in Belgravia, we pride ourselves on how our therapist puts every client at ease. Happy to answer any concerns or queries, Ruth always maintains clients’ dignity by appropriate placement of towels over the body at all times. Treatment begins with you lying on your side. Ruth will first lubricate the area before inserting narrow tubing into the back passage to introduce warm, filtered water and start the process of removing waste material. You are then asked to lie on your back while having your abdomen massaged to help dislodge impacted faeces, mucous, and toxins. Ruth remains with you throughout treatment to offer support and answer any questions or concerns you might have. All equipment used is disposable and for single use only.

Treatment is not painful. We recognise that on your first visit you may feel anxious, and find the sensations involved beyond your previous experience. However, virtually all clients feel comfortable during treatment and enjoy the health benefits afterwards. Ruth has a wealth of knowledge at her fingertips to provide post-treatment help and advice. At the end of treatment, she’ll offer an assessment based on what she has noted during your consultation and observed during your colonic hydrotherapy session, for example, suggesting dietary changes or specific supplements.

For all of us at The Cleansing Space, this end-of-treatment assessment and advice is a hugely important part of your care. We hope the knowledge Ruth shares will put you firmly on the path to optimum health, as well as helping you make lifestyle changes that meaningfully improve your wellbeing.

Your Cleansing Space therapist will advise you as to the most appropriate approach to detoxing and cleansing according to your circumstances and bodily health.
