Hydrocolon Therapy
(Colon Cleansing, Colon Irrigation, Detoxification)
A great way to start a new health & wellness program. It is the process of gentle cleansing the large Intestine (Colon) from toxins, chemicals and cancerogenous substances.
How The Health of Our Colon Affects Our Total Health?
The colon is a tube approximately 5 feet long and 2-1/2 inches in diameter. A healthy colon has uniform size and tone. It extends from the caecum, where it joins the small intestine, up and across the abdominal cavity and down the left side of the body until it reaches the sigmoid and rectum.
Auto-Intoxication (Self-Poisoning)
We experience better health and well being when the colon is clean and functioning normally. When the colon is congested with stagnant wastes, poisons back up into our system and pollute the inner environment. This is called auto-intoxication which literally means "Self-Poisoning". All of the body's systems and tissues are affected by the auto-intoxication. Auto-intoxication can be a causative factor in numerous serious diseases and is considered by many to be the underlying reason for disease. The colon is the largest perpetrator of disease of any organ in the body, and is said to be the initiator of 80% of all critical illness. There are many contributing factors to auto-intoxication from a toxic bowl. Improper diet, insufficient exercise, stress, overeating and ignoring the "call of nature" can all lead to bowl problems.
The Benefits of Colon Cleansing
Colonics offer relief from a variety of disturbances by cleansing the colon of impacted and putrefactive faecal matter. Fatigue, gas, headaches, irritability, skin problems, cold hands and feet, lethargy are among the problems people have found relieved by colon cleansing. Constipation, of course, is another, as well as chronic diarrhoea. Your sense of well-being is often dramatically improved with colon cleansing. You feel lighter, more energetic. The body can again assimilate food in the colon and better defend itself against disease. Natural peristalsis, tone and regularity are restored and many serious diseases may be averted through this gentle, sterile, scientific technique. Colon cleansing is a key factor in the restoration of the body's natural balance or what we call good health and feel good.
Our lifestyles these days require a great deal of hard work and success in all aspects from business, family and personal life. The constant pressure of “go go go” or “bigger, better and faster” surrounds us and pushes us harder, harder and harder. This inevitably has a negative effect on our health and happiness. Generally this because we lead our life under the misconception that our happiness depends upon “external factors”.
These factors are such things as people, success and events that make us feel good. As these “external factors” give us pleasure, naturally enough they make us desire to have them. We feel so compelled to satisfy these desires that it gives us an everlasting, thirst or pressure that must always be gratified. If not, we are not happy. As a result we find ourselves running in these squirrel cages of trying to satisfy our desires one after another in hope that one day we will be truly satisfied and contented. Unfortunately, the day can never come as there is always something just out of reach. This is why we get disappointed and are so stressed out. To get out of this vicious cycle, we have to know where desires come from, and how to understand them.
Having realized this, all we need to do control unhealthy desires. No desire, no disappointment, no stress. We then have a better chance to have a happy, stress free life.

4. Body weight in water
Water can modify the temperature of the skin quickly. When comparing lying in still air of 25 degree Celsius and in water of 25 degree Celsius, it is experienced that the sensation of chilliness comes up more rapidly in water than in air of the same temperature. When varying the temperature, Stimulating, Sedating and Tonifying effects can be obtained. The perception of water temperature differs from person to person. It should be noted that Asians perceive the 33 degree Celsius as warm while European have the same sensation in a bath of 38 degree Celsius.
