What happens during a Colon Hydrotherapy session: As a patient lies comfortably on the treatment table, warm water is introduced into the colon. The temperature and pressure of this water is maintained and altered by the colon hydrotherapist to stimulate peristalsis of the colonic muscles. He also does some massages on the abdomen that aids in dislodging waste from the walls of the colon. The waste and water is then carried out of the body through a small outlet pipe attached to the speculum. The process takes about 30 minutes and the environment is very professional.

Normal bowel movements should be brown to light brown, formed but not hard or too soft, cylindrical but not flattened on any side, fairly bulky and full bodied but not compact, easy to pass, and it shouldn’t have an extremely foul smell. Bowel movements should be in one piece, about the size and shape of a banana being tapered at the end. Sometimes this will not be discernable if the feces breaks up in the toilet. Some people feel that if the body is absorbing all the minerals from the food that the stool will float. Others believe that the stool should sink. I think the important thing is that there are no air bubbles in the stool and that it doesn’t drop like a brick in the toilet. It should be somewhere in between.
