Everything You Wanted to Know About Colon Hydrotherapy……

Are you curious about colon hydrotherapy but unsure of what to expect? Whether you’re exploring its benefits or wondering about the process, you’re not alone. Many people ask the same questions when they first consider colonic hydrotherapy. At Gut Harmony, we believe that education empowers you to make the best decisions about your wellness.  In this article, we’ll address the top five frequently asked questions to help you feel more informed and comfortable.

1. What does colon hydrotherapy do?

Colonic hydrotherapy is a therapy designed to cleanse the colon by gently flushing it with warm filtered water. The goal is to remove built-up waste, toxins, and gas to support better digestion and gut health. Some clients find that colonics relieve bloating, constipation, and feelings of sluggishness, a sense of well-being. Some liken the result to having a feeling of euphoria.

While studies on the long-term benefits are ongoing, many practitioners and clients report improvements in energy levels, digestion, and mental clarity. Think of it as giving your digestive system a fresh start.

2. What comes out during a colon cleanse?

During a colonic, the contents of your large intestine are evacuated, which can include old stool, mucus, undigested food particles, and even gas. If you’ve been experiencing digestive issues, such as constipation or bloating, the session may help eliminate waste that has accumulated over time.

Everyone’s experience is unique, but many clients report a sense of relief and lightness following the treatment. It’s important to drink plenty of water both prior to and after your treatment to help your body stay hydrated.

3. How much weight do you lose with a colonic?

Colonic hydrotherapy is not a weight-loss solution, but some clients do notice a slight drop in weight immediately after their treatment, usually around 2 – 3kgs. This is largely due to the removal of waste and water retention. However, for sustainable weight loss, it’s essential to maintain healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle.

At Gut Harmony, we emphasise that colonics are more about achieving digestive balance than focusing on the scale. Think of it as part of a holistic health journey rather than a quick fix for weight loss.

4. Is it good to do a colon cleanse regularly?

Colon cleansing can be beneficial, but it’s important to use it as part of a broader wellness plan. Overdoing it may disrupt your gut flora, which is essential for healthy digestion. At Gut Harmony, we recommend scheduling your treatments based on your individual needs—some clients come in once a month, with some of us even doing colonics weekly for a period time to reset, while others prefer every few months.

Always consult with a professional before starting a new regimen. Your therapist can help determine the best frequency for your unique health goals.

5. Will I poop after a colonic?

Yes, it’s possible to experience additional bowel movements after a treatment. Your body continues to adjust for a few hours, and any remaining water or loosened waste will pass naturally. Some clients feel the urge to use the restroom right away, while others might not experience a movement until later in the day. 

Drinking water after your session helps ensure that your system stays hydrated and functioning smoothly.
