Colon hydrotherapy isn’t exactly a routine treatment, but the reported benefits have attracted people to this therapy for decades. People who have undergone this treatment will likely tell you that the benefits of colon hydrotherapy far outweigh the discomfort. In case you were curious about colon hydrotherapy but aren’t too sure if it’s worth it for you, here are the top five benefits of colon hydrotherapy, courtesy of RelaxZone:

#1: Improves Digestive Health

There are many benefits, but the primary benefit of all is what colon irrigation can do for your gut health. When your colon is cleansed of decaying fecal matter, you can expect your digestion to perform much better than before. Expect bowel movements to pass easily and chronic constipation to improve.

#2: Boosts Energy

It seems almost impossible to think that a clean colon has any effect on your energy levels, but if you consider how many toxins are released from colon irrigation, you might get a better understanding of how interconnected our body’s systems really are. Instead of spending energy on removing waste from your body, your energy will be spent elsewhere, like your circulation and sleep.

#3: Increases Vitamin and Mineral Absorption

A clean colon that has had layers of rotting fecal matter removed provides a clean and easy path for vitamins and minerals to be absorbed. When they say that health starts in the stomach, one of the most essential aspects of this is the colon’s essential ability to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream.

#4: Helps with Weight Loss

This part is going to sound disgusting, but if you’ve made it this far, then you can take it! You may be surprised to know that every day your colon is carrying around an excessive amount of decaying fecal matter. Depending on your health and diet, that waste can build up for years. Make no mistake: this makes a difference on the scale. Colon hydrotherapy can help you lose weight in the following ways:

  • The initial cleansing can remove up to eight-meals’ worth of digested food from your colon, which can drastically lower your weight.
  • The cleansing’s ability to improve blood circulation and vitamin absorption contribute to your body’s ability to metabolize food better.
  • Your cleansing may even help motivate you to make better food choices.

#5: Improves Concentration

Sounds crazy, but it’s true. Detoxifying your colon has a holistic effect on your entire body, least of all your mind. How does colon hydrotherapy improve concentration? Along with a healthier diet, you’ll be replacing your body with nutrient-rich and unprocessed foods (we hope). As such, we highly recommend accompanying your colon hydrotherapy appointment with a healthy diet consisting of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and fibre.
