For those who are new to the subject, a Colonic is simply the gentle infusion of water into the rectum to both hydrate the body and eliminate toxins. Toxins build up in the colon from food we eat and from the functions of the liver, which dumps filtered toxins from the blood into the intestines for final elimination.
I really liked how cozy and homey Sanavita was. My colon therapist Pearl was super nice and made me feel comfortable in a quite awkward situation. She asked me to put on a hospital gown with an open back that covers lower abdomen and legs and lie down on the bed on my side while she inserted the tube attached to a machine in my rectum. This didn’t feel like anything and I slowly turned on my back so that we could start the session.She turned on the machine and warm water started flowing in to the colon. As soon as I felt too much pressure I asked her to release the water and it would all come out through the tube with pieces of feces. She would also massage my stomach in order to help the water and feces to come out. We kept filling and releasing quite a few times, and twice we did it with chlorophyll instead of just water to help break the stubborn buildups.
After about an hour the tube was removed and I had about ten minutes in my own private bathroom to release the rest of the water and feces. And let me tell you, there was tons coming out. And it would just keep coming out pretty much the rest of the day every time I used the bathroom. Very cleansing experience indeed. Oh, and the bathroom had Squatty Potty! I need one of those home too.
I’m definitely going to do it again even I didn’t experience any immediate results with my skin clearing or energy levels. It did help me to get regular though. I was very constipated according to my therapist since I informed her that I have bowel movement only every 2 to 3 days. Healthy colon has at least one a day. And that’s where I’m at now.
(or even better, grind them yourself to avoid them getting rancid fast) in order to get enough fiber in my diet (flax is also great source of Omega-3’s) as well as herbal tea called Smooth Move
to jumpstart regular bowel movements. Smooth Move is not to be used daily, only when things get really jammed up, like for example after a long flight, or when getting started with a protocol to eliminate constipation.
I've been thinking about trying it too. How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?
Hello my dear Sara Scarlet! 🙂
I'm a deal hunter so I found this on Lifebooker.com for $99 including one colonic session and one spiritual health coaching session with the founder Alex Dunlop (OMG, what a charismatic man, wow), but normal price for One Colonic Session is $155 and Series of Three Colonics: $397. It's not cheap, but I think it was totally worth it if you do it once a year or every six months.
Oh, I think my husband has done this before – He was very very impressed and told me it made me feel lighter and everything..
I think I need to try too..
LOVE the boots..haha 🙂
super interesting! I didn't even know this was an option. Also…cutest picture ever of you jumping 🙂
Ihana asukokonaisuus! Onpas kiva että löytyi uusi kiinnostava blogi. Pitääpä tutkailla tarkemmin 🙂
