How The Health Of Our Colon Affects Our Total Health

What Is A colonic Irrigation?
A colonic irrigation using the Wood Gravitational System, is an internal bath that helps cleanse the colon of poisons, gas, and accumulated fecal matter. Unlike an enema, it does not require the retention of water. There is no discomfort, no internal pressure, just a steady gentle flow in and out of the colon. At the same time, an abdominal, massage is given to stimulate the colon to recover it's natural shape, tone and peristaltic a wave action.
How Is A Colonic Administered?
A person receiving a colonic lies on table 18" below the temperature-controlled input tank. A sterile speculum in gently inserted into the rectum. Water flow, which is always under the direct control of the therapist, flows into the colon via a small water tube and out the evacuation tube carrying with it impacted feces and mucous. As the water flows out of the colon, the practitioner gently massages the abdomen to help the colon release it's contents. It is possible to see this expelled waste matter when it passes through the evacuation tube. The person is well covered and their modesty is given top priority during the procedure.
How Many Colonics Do I Need?
The number of treatments will always vary with the individual and his/her condition. Often the waste is so hard and well lodged in the colon that it may take a series of colonics to sufficiently soften and loosen this accumulated fecal material. Some people may not have startling results for the first few treatments. This is why a series is neccesary and advisable. Experience has shown positive changes at the third and fourth colonic.
Colonic Irrigation is most effective when employed in combination with exercise and proper diet of non-mucous producing foods. Fresh fruits, vegetables and certain herbs are suggested to help loosen as dissolve accumulated fecal matter. Adequate water intake is also advised.
