Whilst irrigating your colon isn’t the most pleasant of topics, it can provide several health benefits. It’s important to find a practitioner of colonic irrigation in Essex who is highly trained and experienced in colonic irrigation, as there are risks associated with the procedure when it’s not done properly.
In this post, we’ll discuss the advantages of colonic irrigation and who could benefit from the treatment.
Why irrigate your colon?
There are several benefits of colonic irrigation, including increased energy levels, relief from constipation, improved digestion, a decreased risk of colon cancer, help with weight loss and improved cognitive function.
Warm, sterilized water is gently introduced into your colon through a tube. Sometimes, herbs and coffee are also used, depending upon the patient. This flushing of the colon allows hardened waste and harmful toxins to break free of the walls of the colon. They are then expelled via the tube, and this restores your natural, healthy colon function.
As a specialist in colonic irrigation in Essex, we find that many of our patients come to us because they’re suffering with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and extreme constipation. Colonic irrigation works very well to relieve many of the troublesome symptoms of IBS, including bloating, pain, sluggishness and, of course, constipation. For these patients in particular, we recommend regular treatments at one of our Essex clinics.
We’ll explain a little more about each of the advantages of colonic irrigation below.
Increase your energy levels with colonic irrigation
Over time, faecal matter can start to build up and solidify along the colon walls. As a result, your body must work harder and use more energy to move waste around the solid matter.
Aside from causing your body to expend more energy, hardened waste in your colon creates an ideal environment for bad bacteria to thrive. This can cause a build up of toxins in your colon, which can leave you feeling drained and sluggish.
A good colonic irrigation will flush out all this hardened waste and the associated bad bacteria, and you’ll feel much more energetic and productive.
Having regular colonics can decrease your risk of colon cancer
Colon cancer causes more than 16,000 deaths every year. That’s 44 people every single day. Whilst there are many factors that can influence the chance of colon cancer, from genetics to diet, it’s thought that colonic irrigation can help to minimise the risk.
When your body doesn’t expel toxins properly, they can build up in your colon, causing issues with the surrounding cells. Colonic irrigation flushes these toxins away, creating a healthy environment and possibly lowering the risk of colon cancer.
Improve your digestion with colonic irrigation
As well as bad bacteria living in your colon, many people don’t realise that there are also millions of good bacteria! These microflorae are responsible for the proper absorption of nutrients, keeping a balanced PH level, defending your body against a range of harmful bacteria and even controlling your hunger levels.
Whilst microflorae are immensely beneficial to our bodies, over time they can be negatively affected by a range of issues. These include poor gut health, allergies and the ingestion of chemicals and preservatives in food. If your microflorae aren’t working as well as they should, you may experience symptoms such as low energy levels, abdominal cramping, headaches, and irritability.
So many symptoms can, whether directly or indirectly, be linked back to the health of your gut. By flushing out all harmful bacteria with colonic irrigation, the beneficial bacteria will have a chance to rebuild. Once your colon is working at full capacity again, you’ll see a big improvement in many symptoms that you probably never even associated with poor gut health.
If you’re suffering with any of the symptoms mentioned above, you’re likely to be an ideal candidate for colonic irrigation.
Lose weight with colonic irrigation
You exercise regularly, you’ve tried every fad diet going, but you can’t seem to lose weight. There’s a good chance that the problem lies with your colon.
It’s entirely normal for the colon to store some waste matter that’s waiting to be passed. However, if you suffer with sluggish digestion, constipation, or have a low-fibre diet, the entire colon can get pretty backed up. All this slow-moving waste will eventually begin to produce thick mucus. If you notice mucus when you wipe, you likely have a very sluggish colon and would benefit from colonic irrigation.
The average colon is around five feet long and can hold up to around eight meals! It can store 5 to 10 pounds of faecal matter for every foot, which means that you could lose up to 20 pounds of weight following treatment.
If you’re not seeing the weight loss results you want with dieting and exercise, book a consultation for colonic irrigation in Essex today.
Relieve constipation with colonic irrigation
Constipation is such a frustrating condition to deal with. The constant feeling of being bloated and uncomfortable can mean that it seriously impacts your day-to-day life. Not to mention that all those toxins being backed up in your body can be reabsorbed into your bloodstream. This can often leave you with a headache and feeling lethargic, tired, and unable to concentrate.
Colonic irrigation is an amazingly effective treatment for constipation because it not only cleanses the colon entirely of all waste, but also stimulates natural muscle movement. This means that you shouldn’t get so constipated in future with regular treatment.
As a leading specialist in colonic irrigation in Essex, we have helped thousands of patients overcome debilitating constipation. If you’re struggling with constipation in Essex, get in touch with us today to alleviate your symptoms.
Cleansing your colon can help your concentration
Concentration problems are often linked to poor colon health. Sounds a little far-fetched, but it’s true! We’ll explain why this is the case.
Mucus and impacted faecal matter can stop the colon from properly absorbing vitamins and minerals. Your brain needs these to function properly. Aside from this, blockages in your colon can impede the nerves that send signals between your colon and brain.
If you’re suffering from anxiety, brain fog, fatigue or have difficulty sleeping, try colonic irrigation. You’ll be surprised in the difference it can make to your symptoms. Many of our clients see an instant improvement!
