I made an appointment for colon hydrotherapy. What is that you ask? Colon hydrotherapy is a…read moretherapeutic procedure designed to cleanse the colon. This process helps remove accumulated waste, toxins, and gas, promoting better digestive health. Colon hydrotherapy sessions involve the gentle infusion of purified water into the colon, facilitating the expulsion of waste material through a closed system. With my crazy schedule, I called to make the appointment. She was very sweet on the phone and suggested I look online to book an appointment, when I told her I was driving and about my schedule, she was able to help me. So I arrived pretty early to my appointment. It's right off 49, across from the sleep shop behind the Thai restaurant. Parking in the afternoon can be tight, so I prefer morning 10 am appointments. Amy was at the front desk. Along with 2 pups behind the counter with her. It smelled amazing as you walked in. She was very nice and it was comforting that she answered all my questions. Since it was my first time, she told me how the process goes, what to expect. I followed her to a dimly lit room with infusers that filled the rooms with relaxing smells. They use Doterra. The scent Breath is what they happen to be using. My favorite. She showed me the huge machine that you get up into and relax in. She pointed out the "discovery channel," which I didn't think anything of. Before she left, she showed me the call button on the wall. Then Amy left the room and I got into position. I inserted the piece myself, laid back and pushed the call button. The water was at 100° and she turned it on. Warm purified water started pushing its way in and Amy left me to my own thoughts. Now I know what the discovery channel is, lol. It was a mirror positioned at the tubes below you so you can watch what comes out. YES I was fascinated with seeing everything. This session was eye opening. This is exactly what I have needed for my bloating and constipation (tmi? Oh well!)! The water was constantly flowing and breaking up what needed to come out. I was feeling instant relief in just the first 10 minutes. There was something passing almost the whole time (especially during your first session)! The machine your sitting on holds about 8 gallons at a time. You get about 12-16 gallons following into you in about an hour session. Amy came in a couple times to fill the tank (she turned a simple knob and it added more water) or if i pushed the call button. Sometimes, the water would start to get too warm and lucky for us, it stops pushing water in. I appreciated the medical grade purified glass of water Amy had given me each time, plus the pieces of ginger candy in case I got nauseous. I was so fascinated by how much waste left my body, I hardly looked at my phone! At the end of my session, Any turned the machine off and told me some people sit for 5-15 minutes after their session to allow the rest of the water/ waste to pass. Afterwards, they is a water spray nozzle to rinse yourself off. Wipes to clean yourself. Your waste goes straight to the sewers. I couldn't imagine if they had to clean it themselves. When I came out, Amy had a probiotic and a small cup of water waiting for me. Since I flushed out everything, she said we needed to replace the good bacteria. I asked about the other services they offered and I am absolutely interested in coming here for more services!! I have just had my 3rd session and since I started early this month. Amy recommended 3 sessions. The first gets out the majority. The 2nd a little more, and the 3rd is like a completion. My food has been digesting better. I don't feel as heavy. Zero bloating since coming here. I look forward to using more of the services. Coming here has put me on track to a healthier me. I am very interested in doing the infrared sauna, the hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and the thermolog... as well as future sessions of colon hydrotherapy! Thank you so much, Amy, for a great experience. The information you gave me about this and other procedures makes me want to keep up with a healthier me!
