What is it like to receive a colonic?
A colonic session is a relaxed, soothing experience. As the client lies comfortably on the table, a small, rounded and lubricated tube is gently inserted into the rectum. Working with the colonic instrument, the therapist then begins a series of warm, filtered water infusions into the colon, stimulating its natural peristaltic action, and flushing out what hasn’t been eliminated naturally. As soon as the client experiences any urgency or fullness, the line is opened, allowing the water and waste to be expelled. This process of inflow and elimination is repeated several times during the session. Water temperature and pressure are carefully monitored, always set to the client’s personal comfort. The therapist remains with the client throughout the session, and will, if indicated, perform gentle abdominal massage with his/her permission.
Fully appreciating the sensitive nature of this procedure, the therapist keeps the client completely draped to ensure and maintain her/his modesty, dignity and comfort at all times.
