Sacramento Colonic Hydrotherapy, also known colon irrigation or colonics, cleanses the colon (large intestine) of accumulated mucus and bacteria from the bowel. The gentle infusion of warm water introduced into the colon stimulates peristalisis and hydrates the colon.

The colon is a 4-layer muscle and colon hydrotherapy helps to stimulate and exercise this muscle. Like any muscle, if it is not toned and working efficiently, it will become sluggish and not work at an optimum level.

If you are not eliminating about 18 inches at least once per day, then your colon is not working efficiently and you may be constipated. Waste and toxins that remain too long in the intestines feed harmful bacteria causing putrefaction and fermentation, which can cause symptoms such as gas, bloating, headaches, fatigue and skin problems, to name a few. These poisons can also be reabsorbed into the system and cause autointoxification, or self-poisoning, and can lead to more serious health problems.
