Question 1

What are the benefits of colonics?

Accepted Answer

💩Removal Of Accumulated Waste And Toxins: This includes old, hardened waste matter, mucus, and gas built up in the colon, which as an I-ACT member believe can hinder proper digestion and nutrient absorption.

💩Improved Digestive Function: By removing waste, colonics can help alleviate issues such as constipation, bloating, gas, and indigestion.

💩Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: A cleaner colon may be better equipped to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.

💩Increased Energy Levels: Detoxification and improved nutrient absorption may lead to a boost in energy and overall vitality.

💩Support For A Healthy Gut Environment: By clearing out excess waste, colonic can create a more favorable environment for beneficial gut bacteria to flourish.

💩Improved Skin Health: Some proponents report improved skin clarity, texture, and tone, possibly due to the removal of toxins.

💩Potential Relief From Symptoms Of IBS: Colonics may help ease symptoms like bloating and gas associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

💩Possible Aid In Weight Management: While not a primary weight loss solution, clearing out waste can reduce bloating and may support weight management efforts.

💩Better Mental Clarity And Reduced Anxiety: Some individuals report a sense of well-being, improved mental clarity, and reduced mood swings after treatment.

💩Strengthened Immune Function: A cleaner colon allows for better absorption of vitamins and minerals, which can support the immune system.

Question 2

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

When beginning Colon Hydrotherapy, a series of close together sessions is always recommended. The colon is 5 ft long and 1 ft can accumulate 10 pounds of waste! If you are on the more toxic side, you will need more sessions to alleviate your gut of the hard impacted waste. Most people do 3-5 sessions within a 2–3-week period when beginning their wellness journey.

Question 3

How will I feel after my colonic?

Accepted Answer

Most people feel amazing after a colon hydrotherapy session. Some people come on their lunch breaks from work, or even come before going to the gym. When getting a colonic your body releases toxins at a rapid rate causing you to experience die off symptoms such as a headache, nausea, sweating or chills etc. If you prep correctly before your colonic, you are less likely to experience those symptoms.

Question 4

How should I prep before my colonic?

Accepted Answer

No caffeine or dairy 24 hours before your appointment. Please come on an empty stomach (no food 2 hours before and no liquids 30 minutes before). The days leading up to your appointment try having as many fresh pressed juices or smoothies as you can. Up your water intake and enjoy foods with a high liquid content as well to assure things come out easier.

Question 5

Do colonics hurt?

Accepted Answer

A colonic should never hurt. Generally, you may feel slight cramping or pressure from the breakdown of trapped gasses and impacted waste. After those are moved out you will feel relieved. As the waste is rehydrated it becomes easier to come out making it less uncomfortable.

Question 6

Will my body become dependent on colonics?

Accepted Answer

It is impossible to become dependent on colonics. We use nothing but filtered water during our colon hydrotherapy sessions. In fact, colonics help strengthen the muscles in the colon wall. This will help the peristalsis movement and you will be able to have more bowel movements over time on your own after the matter is released.

Question 7

Who should not get a colonic?

Accepted Answer

You are not a suitable candidate for colonics if any of the following medical conditions currently apply to you:

had abdominal surgery within the last 6 months

pregnant

have late-stage kidney failure

have an active ulcerative colitis flare up

have colon cancer

have intestinal perforations

have abdominal hernia

Question 8

What are the additives (implants) and what do they do during the colonic (probiotics, coffee, chlorphyll)?

Accepted Answer

Probiotic Implant
After flushing out the bad bacteria during a colonic, probiotic implants directly introduce 225 billion species of good bacteria back into the gut. Probiotic implants can help with antibiotic use, candida/yeast overgrowth and skin conditions.

Coffee Implant
During the coffee implant, the caffeine gets absorbed into the bloodstream via the rectal veins and goes straight to the liver via the portal vein. This bypasses the digestive process and stimulates the production and flow of bile, by dilating the bile ducts. That then increases the production of glutathione in the liver by up to 700%. Glutathione is an antioxidant the liver creates which aids in detoxification. The liver also uses glutathione to bind free radicals which can leave the body quickly and safely. It also boosts immune function, mental clarity, energy levels. CLIENT PROVIDES COFFEE.

Chlorophyll Implant
The best way to describe chlorophyll is it is a detergent for the body. Chlorophyll helps deodorize and detoxify the body. It is similar to wheatgrass, but most clients find it much easier to retain. Chlorophyll can boost liver detoxification, cleanse and enrich the blood, as well as increase one's energy.

Question 9

Is there any mess or smell?

Accepted Answer

None whatsoever. The closed colonic equipment that I used forms a sealed system that carries away all the waste cleanly and hygienically.

Question 10

Can I have a colonic during my period?

Accepted Answer

Yes!!! In fact it can be a good time to receive a session since your body is already cleansing. Your menstrual flow will not interfere with the colonic. Many clients report reduced menstrual cramping and bloating often associated with menstrual cycles.

Question 11

I'm pregnant. Can I still have a colonic?

Accepted Answer

No. Phlush DOES NOT treat pregnant women during any term of their pregnancy.

Question 12

After a colonic, will I need to be close to a toilet all day?

Accepted Answer

No, usually clients release everything while they are in the suite as there is time to finish on the toilet before you leave. Of course, there can be exceptions to this, but most clients continue on with their scheduled day without urgency to eliminate.
