COLON CLEANSE: HOW TO DO IT
The intestine is colonized by a set of microorganisms - bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi - whose role is fundamental for the well-being of the digestive system and the body as a whole. The symbiotic coexistence of this microbial component ensures the correct functionality of the intestine while the alteration of the bacterial flora generates disorders that must be addressed with a precise intervention on the dysbiosis. In general, the microbial structure tends to homeostasis. However, there are conditions that interfere with the regular well-being of the microbiota: in these cases it’s possible to intervene with intestinal purification treatments that can facilitate the return to eubiosis. The decision regarding the possibility and necessity of the intervention is up to the doctor.

The state of the microbiota
One of the main aspects to consider about intestinal health is the state of the microbiota, which is the complex and varied set of microorganisms that live on the intestinal mucosa in a balance of forces that can, in some situations, be altered. The most recent studies confirm the central role of the microbiota in the health of the organism, especially in relation to its metabolic and immunogenic functions. For this reason, knowing the state of the microbiota is important to correct the imbalance of the microbial composition to replace pathogenic microorganisms. Dysbiosis, in fact, can create inflammatory states with different consequences on organic well-being. To restore a state of eubiosis, therefore a virtuous balance of viruses, bacteria and fungi, it is necessary to work on nutrition and integration of prebiotics and probiotics, to replenish the crowd of non-pathogenic microorganisms and to purify the intestine from pathogenic ones. In many cases, even hydrocolontherapy can be a valid ally for colon purification.
The use of hydrocolontherapy
In situations such as obstinate constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, flatulence, abdominal swelling and, in general, in case of intestinal disorders, a colon cleanse can be useful for cleaning the intestine by freeing it from fecal residues, mucus, waste and bacteria that can affect the functionality of the system. Hydrocolontherapy is a painless practice that allows to irrigate the colon by using purified water that passes through a tube positioned in the anus. The therapy may involve, based on the doctor's assessment, a single session or a series of appointments that last from 30 to 50 minutes. The duration depends on the patient's response and on the settings of the machine.
The medical evaluation
The assessment of whether to proceed with an intestinal cleansing treatment should always be up to the doctor who, considering the patient's health, can outline a personalized plan that may include a therapy based on supplements, a controlled use of laxatives or a cycle of intestinal cleansing sessions through hydrocolontherapy. Once evaluating the patient's needs, the state of his microbiota and the contraindications of each treatment, the physician can choose the most suitable approach for an intestinal cleansing performed with judgment.

HOW TO TREAT INTESTINAL DISORDERS
When we talk about intestinal disorders we are referring to a wide range of functional disorders with variable symptoms which include diarrhea, constipation, cramps, bloating and meteorism. In particular, irritable bowel syndrome is a disorder that affects a large segment of population with different associated causes, ranging from alteration of the microbiota to incorrect lifestyles. In these cases, the first solutions involve a modification of eating habits, a regularization of physical activity and a management of stress. At the same time, rebalancing the microbiota and cleansing the colon through colon hydrotherapy can be excellent allies.
Colon Hydrotherapy as an antiaging procedure
The approach of antiaging medicine involves the application of protocols that, with a holistic vision, can slow down the aging process by intervening preventively on the imbalances that occur with the advance of age. Colon hydrotherapy is one of the practices adopted in an antiaging perspective because, through an intestinal detoxification, it is able to rebalance the system and to restore the health of the colon so as to safeguard it from pathologies and disorders.
Find constipation relief with Colon hydrotherapy
Colon hydrotherapy is a medical practice that purifies the intestine through a deep wash, leaving it free from waste, toxins, mucus and fecal residues. Cleansing the colon allows you to re-establish the functionality of the system and restore a balanced and healthy microbiota, with repercussions on general organic well-being. The conditions for which colon hydrotherapy is recommended are different and heterogeneous: among these, we find chronic constipation.
