It can alleviate conditions such as bloating, flatulence, diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome, weight issues, fatigue, allergies, food intolerances, indigestion, digestive problems, constipation, multiple sclerosis, and back pain. Additionally, Colonic Irrigation promotes healthier, more radiant skin and enhances mental clarity and alertness.

Preparation and Procedure
No special preparation is needed, but it is advised to avoid large meals, alcohol, and caffeine-based drinks several hours before and after the procedure. Before the treatment, a full consultation with our qualified colon hydro therapist will be conducted to discuss your health and medical history.
During the treatment, you will wear disposable pants and a robe to ensure modesty. The process involves the gentle infusion of warm, filtered water into the colon using our state-of-the-art Detolo Toxygen equipment. This equipment ensures a dignified, pain-free, and effective treatment. The warm water circulates through the colon, hydrating and removing waste without odour or discomfort. The entire system uses up to 65 litres of filtered water, ensuring a thorough and superior cleanse compared to traditional gravity-fed systems.
