What Is A Home Colonic?
A home colonic is a colonic irrigation done at home. Colonic irrigation has been called many names, including high colonic and colonic hydrotherapy. It basically uses the natural power of pressurised water and herbal supplements to clean out your hard working colon. Some people also advocate fasting during a home colonic, but others do not agree. Ask your doctor if it is safe for you to fast before you start fasting or using herbal supplements.
How Colonics Are Usually Done
Colonics are nothing new. They were first done in ancient Egypt when a group of physicians reportedly saw the god Thoth (in the form of an ibis) give himself a colonic with his beak. People don’t have beaks, so soft nozzles and hoses to administer warm filtered water were substituted, instead.
Usually, colonics are administered by someone else at a health clinic. This can be quite embarrassing, because this required baring your bottom to a virtual stranger. The demand for more private colonics is what prompted manufacturers to come up with home colonic kits.
Benefits of Home Colonics
There are as many benefits to home colonics as there are people who properly use a home colonic. Many people report feeling more alert and have less digestive troubles. Some people feel an endorphin rush immediately after a colonic, but that doesn’t happen for everyone.
Why do people bother with a home colonic? Because they want to be sure that they are completely cleaned out. With modern pollution in the air and water, you never know what toxins your body can pick up. Colonics can help your natural filtering system, including your liver and your sweat glands, work at maximum efficiency.
