Colon hydrotherapy is clean and relaxing procedure where a soothing flow of warm water is instilled gently into the colon through a nozzle (rectal tube) to cleanse (evacuate) the contents of the lower colon. During the administration of the colonic irrigation, the colon hydrotherapy equipment is designed to allow evacuation of the contents of the colon while the pressure, temperature, and flow of water can all be regulated for optimal comfort and results.

Our clinic routinely recommends the use of Far-Infrared (FIR) Sauna therapy as a method to support systemic detoxification of our body toxic burdens. Far-Infrared sauna is a powerful tool to aid in the mobilization and elimination of toxic burdens through sweating.

Infrared energy is a form ionizing rays or wavelengths on the light spectrum not visible to the human eye. Our body’s tissues normally produce infrared energy for use by the body in a number of healing processes. Far infrared (FIR) energy can penetrate beyond skin level and is absorbed efficiently, whereas visible light mostly bounces off the skin surface. Additionally, far-infrared can penetrate skin up to 2 inches whereas near-infrared is mostly absorbed at skin level resulting in raising the skin temperature.

Once the far-infrared rays penetrate the skin, they excite the vibrational energy of molecules and resonate with cellular frequencies. Tissues selectively absorb these rays and the water in the cell reacts in a process called “resonant absorption. ” This resonant absorption occurs when the FIR frequency matches the frequency of the water in the cell causing toxins to be dropped off into the blood stream and excreted in sweat, feces, and urine. This in turn promotes bioprocesses such as increased metabolism, circulation, and can raise the body core temperature.
