COLON HYDROTHERAPY: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Colon hydrotherapy is a practice used since ancient times to eliminate residual waste accumulated in the intestine through a deep cleansing of the colon. The therapy generates an intense intestinal purification and a restoration of its function, as well as a general reinvigoration of the body. Eliminating toxins, indeed, prevents their passage into the bloodstream and it eases the burden of the organs that should dispose of them, such as the liver, kidneys, lungs, skin and intestine itself. Colon cleansing helps to eliminate fecal residues, toxins, bacteria and mucus, helping to restore the balance of the microbiota.

How colon hydrotherapy works
Medical colon hydrotherapy is performed in professional outpatient clinics using a specific technology. The patient lies down in a comfortable position so as to easily insert a probe into the rectus, inside which passes a tube for the washing water and one for the dispersion of fecal residues and waste. The water is used with a tailored setting of the quantity, the temperature and the pressure to facilitate intestinal transit, with repeated irrigations until the intestine is completely cleansed. To facilitate peristalsis, the therapy is accompanied by an abdominal massage. The colon hydrotherapy procedure is painless.
The benefits of colon hydrotherapy
Colon hydrotherapy purifies and invigorates the intestine, it helps to restore intestinal function, to correct assimilation of nutrients and to fight dysbiosis caused by stress, poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, intestinal pathologies and drugs.
The therapy is indicated in case of constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal mycosis, meteorism, abdominal swelling and as a support in case of pathologies such as Crohn's disease, diverticulosis and ulcerative colitis, but not in the active phase. Its benefits also have positive repercussions on digestive disorders, fatigue, mental fog, obesity and vaginal infections. Colon cleansing is indicated as a preventive and anti-aging therapy since intestinal well-being and microbiota balance impact the general health of the organism.
Contraindications to colon hydrotherapy
Colon hydrotherapy is a safe and effective procedure which must, however, be performed by an expert doctor who can manage safely both the anamnesis and treatment phases. The preliminary visit is essential to evaluate the patient's health. In fact, colon hydrotherapy is contraindicated in the case of pathologies in their active phase such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, diverticulosis and colitis, gastrointestinal hemorrhages, fistulas, abscesses and hemorrhoids, serious heart and kidney diseases, neoplasms and abdominal aortic aneurysms. Colon hydrotherapy should also be avoided during pregnancy.
Times and frequency of administration
A colon hydrotherapy session lasts a variable amount of time that depends on the patient's response to intestinal stress. Generally the average duration is around 35-50 minutes.
Based on the patient's needs, frequency and number of sessions are customized so that the therapy is as effective as possible: ranging from single sessions repeated a few months apart to meet detoxification demands, to cycles consisting of 4-6 meetings spaced out for specific therapeutic purposes. To intensify the anti-inflammatory and disinfectant action, hydrocolon therapy can be combined with endorectal ozone insufflation.
The cost is 200 euros per session.

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.
