Colon Hydrotherapy � a new approach to cleanse the body

Are you suffering from constipation, irritable bowel disorder, stress, overweight and joint pains? Colon-hydrotherapy, an internationally popular medical remedy introduced in Hyderabad recently could have a solution. Colon-hydrotherapy is about cleansing the colon with pure, warm water and flushing out all toxins accumulated in the bodies and rendering us hale and healthy. Experts say it is a safe, hygienic procedure which maintains overall health and is painless. Also called Colon irrigation, celebrities like Prince Diana believed in this procedure.

"Rekha (name changed) is an obese homemaker and mother of two children. Her husband is in the US on an offshore project. After she got to know that her husband is visiting India in three months, she wanted to lose weight and become slim to surprise him. She underwent colon hydrotherapy procedure for two months and strictly followed the diet advised by the doctors and nutritionists. Surprisingly, she lost 14 kilos in three months! The patient came all the way from Aathmakur in Nellore district to Hyderabad for this treatment. The procedure is administered under strict supervision of doctors, nutritionists and technical experts of therapy." told Rajagopal, Director, Reva Health, Skin and Hair Medical Institute.

Colon hydrotherapy increases the process of contraction of the muscles. There are contra-indications also. Colon hydrotherapy is not recommended in pregnant women or cancer patients of colon or GI tract or those suffering from congestive heart failure, carcinoma of the rectum etc. "By undergoing the therapy one can eliminate toxins from the body that brings change in the overall health of the patient. When toxins are flushed out, naturally stress or tension decrease slowly. We lose weight also. Meanwhile, it helps improve our metabolism and absorption. It makes the body active and relaxed," explained Koumudi, technical expert of Colon hydrotherapy.

"Of course, the therapy also helps reduce body or joint pains successfully. It simultaneously improves contractions of the muscles, decreases weight, minimises the risk of piles and boosts up the immunity power" she added. "In this therapy, warm water is introduced at a low gravitational pressure so that there is no threat of bowel contraction. Here, we use only disposable single-use rectal tubes and speculums. Those undergoing the procedure should have light meal a couple of hours before the therapy.

And warm filtered water is introduced via a speculum into the rectum and up into the colon where it soaks and cleanse the unwanted material. The water, as we said previously, stimulates the contraction of the colon. So the colon then pushes the water and matter out through the tube. The body itself does the work. It is an exercise for a bowel. That's why we always mention it as naturopathic exercise" explained Rajagopal.

The number of colon hydrotherapy sessions necessary differs from one patient to another, cause and health condition. It needs an individual specific approach.

"Toxins form in the body because of lifestyle changes, junk food, sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet practices. One person can approach us for cleansing the colon, somebody asks to flush out toxins from the body, some to solve constipation problem and some to eliminate the body pains or joint pains and stress etc," told Koumudi.

Each sitting costs around Rs 2,500. The first sitting typically takes up to one hour and lesser in the subsequent sittings. "We have received tremendous response from people for colon hydrotherapy. Nearly 80 percent of the requests are to treat constipation, gas blotting, irritable syndrome and overweight problems. According to our study, uncontrolled hypothyroidism is the cause of obesity in many. The age group of patients ranges from 10 to 85 years old," Rajagopal added.
