1- What is colon hydrotherapy?Miranda Brownfield2022-08-16T21:38:46+00:00

Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe, therapeutic process administered by a trained and certified Colon Therapist. The Colon Hydrotherapy equipment at Luxe wellness Boutique is the most advanced and sensitive equipment available today. It is FDA-registered and utilizes a six-filter system to gently introduce warm oxygenated water to the large intestine. As your colon is hydrated and massaged, fecal waste loosens or dislodges, and your colon contracts to defecate naturally. The waste is evacuated through a "closed" tube (no odor, leaks, or "mess") and passes through a viewing tube before exiting through the drain system

3- How to prepare for a colon hydrotherapy session?Miranda Brownfield2022-08-16T21:38:57+00:00

If you can, it is helpful to prepare for your Colon Hydrotherapy session by following these guidelines for 2-3 days before your cleanse day, 1. Try to drink lots of water (preferably purified and filtered) and apple juice. Water helps you get a head-start on hydrating the buildup, and apple juice supports the liver in releasing toxins during your cleanse. Other great cleansing juices are prune, pear, and pineapple. 2. Try to limit or avoid gas-forming foods and beverages. These differ from person to person, but generally include coffee, soft drinks, bananas, cauliflower, broccoli, onions, garlic, and cabbage. The build-up of gas can slow down waste elimination during your cleanse. For a more elaborate list, Google: acid-forming foods. 3. On the day of your cleanse, fasting is recommended, especially if your cleanse is scheduled in the morning. If you are unable to fast, or if your cleanse is scheduled in the afternoon, eat only a "light" meal in the morning and not within 2 hours of your appointment. (Remember: The digestive tract cannot digest and eliminate efficiently at the same time.) The best option for a "light" meal is a smoothie or juice, which is dairy-free and made of whole foods. It's a good idea to avoid coffee. Also, slow down your water intake just prior to your cleanse as you do not want to have to stop your cleanse to empty your bladder.

The preparatory tips are helpful and advantageous, but not required. Those suffering with an impacted colon or those whom are preparing for a medical procedure, such as a colonoscopy or laparoscopic GYN surgery, should speak with our therapist for special instructions.

4 How long does a colonic take?Miranda Brownfield2022-08-16T21:39:10+00:00The treatment itself takes up to 45 minutes, so with changing time, you'll need to allow at least an hour. Your first treatment will normally take longer as your therapist will need to review your medical history and assess your current bowel health before proceeding with your therapy.

6- Do I need to see my doctor before a colonic or get a referral?Miranda Brownfield2022-08-16T21:39:27+00:00You do not need to get a referral or have an examination from a doctor before getting a colonic, but if you have health concern and you would like to tell your doctor before having a colonic then please do. If you have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, severe hemorrhoids' or anal fissures, rectal or intestinal tumors, diverticulitis, acute liver failure, an abdominal hernia, severe  anemia, lupus or an aneurysm then colonics are not recommended.
