Colon Hydrotherapy

What is Colon Hydrotherapy (Colon Detoxification)?

Colon hydrotherapy, or colon detoxification, is a closed-system colon cleansing procedure designed to flush out chemical residues, waste, and toxins from the colon without the use of chemicals.

At Novavida Integrative Medical Center, advanced technology is utilized for Colon Hydrotherapy. This involves flushing the entire colon system with purified warm water at a temperature of 37.5-38.5 degrees Celsius, which matches the body’s core temperature. The process is carried out gradually through a small rectal tube, stimulating bowel movement and encouraging the elimination of waste in a manner similar to natural bowel movements.

While the human body naturally eliminates waste and toxins through regular bowel movements, it may not be able to expel all waste due to excessive exposure to toxins or the accumulation of waste in the colon. This residual buildup can negatively affect the body in both the short and long term.

Colon detoxification is widely popular in the field of anti-aging medicine as it effectively removes toxins and food residue clinging to the colon walls. Benefits include: Improved, bodily functions, Enhanced skin health, Strengthened immune system, Reduction in body odor and bad breath Potential reduction in the risk of colon cancer

By addressing accumulated waste, colon hydrotherapy promotes overall well-being and supports the body’s natural detoxification process.
