How to Prepare for Your First Colonic

The Colonic Hydrotherapy treatment itself is simple, so therefore so should your preparation.

Although preparation is not essential, it is however encouraged to ensure that you get the most out of your first session and making it as comfortable as possible.

Hydration – being reasonably hydrated will help soften built up matter in your colon making it easier and quicker to release during your session. If you generally are not a big water drinker, please try to aim for a couple of litres at least in the 24 hours prior to your session for maximum. 

Food – if you can avoid eating 2 to 3 hours prior to your appointment that would be preferable. This ensures that the body is concentrating on releasing and not on digesting during your session. If you are full before your session, it can make it unnecessarily uncomfortable. 

We also suggest avoiding any foods or drinks that are considered gas forming, 24 hours prior to your session for example, foods such as onions, broccoli, legumes, wheat products, sugar, alcohol, dairy and protein powders.

Clothing – something comfortable and easy to remove from the wait down. Please bear in mind, you will be fully covered through the duration of the session with a towel for your privacy and comfort. 

Stress – we understand before your first session most people are nervous as to what is going to happen. So many questions, so many thoughts.  Rest assured, we are here to make the journey as comfortable and relaxing for you as possible. We will start off with a consultation, explaining the entire process to you, we then discuss your medical history and answer any of the questions that you may have. Once you are ready we will start and if at any time you are not comfortable and want to stop….we stop. Remember we are here to help you kickstart or continue you on your health journey. You are here for the health benefits this amazing treatment aims to provide. 

And finally, as our clinic offers a Closed System form of colonic hydrotherapy, it means, you will have a fully trained therapist in the room with you, guiding you through the process the entire time. At no point are you left to your own devices to try and navigate the machines or understand why and what you are feeling.
