WHAT IS COLON HYDROTHERAPY?

COLON HYDROTHERAPY IS A HOLISTIC PROCEDURE THAT INVOLVES THE INTRODUCTION OF PURIFIED WARM WATER GENTLY INTO THE LARGE INTESTINE OR COLON FOR INTERNAL CLEANSING USING FDA APPROVED EQUIPMENT. 

WHERE IS THE COLON?

THE COLON IS LOCATED AT THE END PORTION OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT.  IT RANGES ABOUT 5 1/2 TO 6 FEET IN LENGTH.  ITS MAIN JOB IS TO CONSERVE WATER IN THE BODY AND ELIMINATE WASTE.

IS COLON HYDROTHERAPY SAFE?

ABSOLUTELY.  EACH CLIENT RECEIVES THEIR OWN DISPOSABLE SPECULUM FOR DISPOSAL AFTER EACH USE.  THE WATER IS WARM AND PURIFIED TO MATCH YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE AND THE EQUIPMENT IS CERTIFIED BY THE FDA.  THE CLIENT’S DIGNITY IS PRESERVED AND HONORED BY THE USE OF A CLEAN   AND PRIVATE ROOM.

WILL COLON HYDROTHERAPY DEPLETE MY ELECTROLYTES?

NO.  YOU LOSE VERY LITTLE ELECTROLYTES DURING A COLONIC.  YOU CAN REPLENISH YOUR ELECTROLYTES WITH ACIDOPHILUS, BIFIDOUS, AND NATURAL JUICES.  YOU CAN PURCHASE ACIDOPHILUS AND BIFIDOUS AT YOUR LOCAL HEALTH FOOD STORE. 

HOW LONG IS A SESSION?

A SESSION IS ABOUT 40 MINUTES IN LENGTH, AND  SOME PEOPLE OPT FOR THE TREATMENT ON THEIR LUNCH BREAK.  IF YOU COME INTO THE CENTER WITH THE REQUIRED PAPERWORK COMPLETED, THE ENTIRE PROCESS CAN BE COMPLETED IN ONE HOUR WITH YOU WALKING OUT THE DOOR.

IS THE PROCEDURE PAINFUL?

NO.   THE PROCEDURE IS VERY RELAXING AND CALMING.  CLIENTS SOMETIME ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES WITH IPODS, CDS, CROSSWORD PUZZLES OR BOOKS.  THE WATER IS VERY WARM SO IT COMPLIMENTS THE BODY TEMPERATURE.  THE MOST ANYONE WILL FEEL IS THE NATURAL URGE TO HAVE A BOWEL MOVEMENT.  THERE IS RELAXING MUSIC AND A GREAT OVERALL ATMOSPHERE FOR CALM AND SERENITY.

HOW  MUCH OF THE COLON IS CLEANSED DURING A TREATMENT?

IT IS POSSIBLE TO CLEANSE THE FULL LENGTH OF THE COLON DURING A TREATMENT.  IT DEPENDS ON THE TOXICITY LEVEL OF THE CLIENT.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED?

THIS AGAIN DEPENDS ON THE TOXICITY LEVEL.  SOME PEOPLE NEED ONLY 3, WHEREAS AN AVID MEAT EATER MAY NEED 10 TO 12.  A CERTIFIED THERAPIST WILL BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THIS.  MOST OF US HAVE BEEN TOXIC FOR A LONG TIME, SO IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO REMOVE THE WASTE AND POISON FROM THE SYSTEM.

IS IT OKAY TO HAVE A TREATMENT DURING MENSTRUAL PERIOD?

YES.  IN FACT, IT IS A GREAT TIME TO HAVE A TREATMENT SINCE THE BODY IS ALREADY CLEANSING.  YOUR FLOW WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE SUCCESS OF THE  TREATMENT.

IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY OF CONTAMINATION FROM PRIOR USE OF THE COLON HYDROTHERAPY EQUIPMENT?

NO.  MODERN COLON HYDROTHERAPY EQUIPMENT UTILIZE PRE-STERILIZED, DISPOSABLE HOSES AND SPECULUMS.  THESE DISPOSABLES ARE USED ONLY ONCE DURING A SINGLE THERAPY SESSION. 

WHO NEEDS A COLONIC?

EVERYONE FROM THE MOST AVID MEAT EATER TO THE STRICTEST VEGETARIAN.  IT IS BELIEVED THAT A LOT OF ACCUMULATED WASTE IN OUR COLON STEMS FROM PROCESSED FOODS AND POLLUTED AIR THAT WE HAVE CONSUMED THROUGH OUT THE YEARS, THEREBY PRODUCING A STICKY WASTE IN OUR LARGE INTESTINE THAT RESULTS FROM FLUIDS BEING ABSORBED DURING THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS.

SHOULD I SEE MY DOCTOR BEFORE MY SESSION?

IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR HEALTH AND OR COLON YOU SHOULD CONSULT A DOCTOR.  IF YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH DIVERTICULITIS, ULCERATIVE COLITIS, CROHN’S DISEASE, SEVERE HEMORRHOIDS, RECTAL OR INTESTINAL TUMORS, YOU WOULD NOT BE A CANDIDATE FOR COLON HYDROTHERAPY UNLESS YOU HAVE A PRESCRIPTION FROM A DOCTOR. PROFESSIONALLY ADMINISTERED COLON HYDROTHERAPY IS SAFE AND A MEDICAL EXAMINATION SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE FIRST TREATMENT?

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER A DAY BEFORE THE TREATMENT AND REFRAIN FROM EATING BEFORE THE CLEANSE.  THE WATER WILL HELP HYDRATE THE COLON FOR BETTER ELIMINATION.  TRY TO MAINTAIN A GREAT SPIRIT AND GOOD ATTITUDE.

WHAT WILL I EXPERIENCE AFTER THE CLEANSE?

MOST PEOPLE FEEL A SENSE OF CALM AND A LOT OF ENERGY.  SOME CLIENTS EXPERIENCE A SENSE OF SADNESS AND TIREDNESS.  THIS IS DUE TO THE TOXINS IN THE SYSTEM THAT HAVE BEEN AWAKENED.  DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER AND  NATURAL JUICES  USUALLY HELPS.

CAN I CONTINUE MY REGULAR ACTIVITIES AFTER A CLEANSE?

ABSOLUTELY.   YOU CAN WORK JUST AS YOU WOULD AFTER A REGULAR BOWEL MOVEMENT.

WHEN SHOULD I GET STARTED?

NOW.  THE SOONER THE BETTER.  IT IS AMAZING HOW LIGHT YOU WILL FEEL AFTER THE PROCEDURE.  YOU NEED DEDICATION AND GOOD EATING AND EXERCISE HABITS ALONG WITH A MONTLY CLEANSE OR CLEANSES TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY COLON.

How to Prepare

Prior to your first colonic you will need to do three (3) things: 

1. 1) First, you will need to drink 64 ounces of pure water THE DAY BEFORE YOUR COLONIC.  You should hydrate prior to each colonic visit.
   

2. 2) Refrain from eating any solid food two (2) hours prior to your scheduled start time for your first visit.  DO NOT FAST the entire day PRIOR TO YOUR COLONIC.  You may consume liquids up to the start of the procedure.  (Step #2 is optional in subsequent visits). 
   

3. 3)  Text your appointment request to 770-454-1363.  Send your full name from your mobile number with the day and time of day.  We will confirm via text message.
   

What to Expect

Many first-time clients are naturally anxious, to some degree, about the process of having a colon cleanse.  The following is a testimonial by one of our clients.  It is a beautifully written detailed account of what you are likely to experience when you visit for your first time. 

Amazing Experience

by SMJohnson

April 02, 2009

I have never had a colonic in my life before.  I talked about it a lot with some of my friends and one mentioned Dr. Imani as being the best in Atlanta, so I looked into it.

First, let me say that I was very nervous about going through the process. But, after speaking with Dr. Imani, he immediately made me feel comfortable, and he answered all of my questions.  He gave me precise details on what to do prior to my visit.

Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted and entered a comfortable office with a nice ambiance. He sensed my nervousness and spent time explaining the process and benefits of getting the colonic.   After a few minutes of talking, I was ready.  Let me say that I had no idea what to expect, and I had never seen the equipment that would be used.  He once again removed my anxiety by calmly taking the time to go over the procedure in detail with me. 

Once you are ready, you simply ring a bell, and he will re-enter the room.   He has me start the water flow and he exits the room.  You have the option of dimming the lights to your liking.  There is relaxing music, and he provides  a light, lavender, scented hot pack for your belly to assist in keeping you comfortable throughout the cleanse.

I must say I was quite embarrassed to have this man come into the room to talk to me for a few seconds with a tube in my behind ...( Iol... I am being honest), but for some reason, he just makes you feel comfortable.  I said to myself, "he does this all day!”   His extreme professionalism is just comforting, and it helped take the edge off.

The process is quite relaxing and it feels great.  I mean, it’s like having the ultimate bowel movement, and we all know how good that feels after having a good one at home.  Now, imagine the best one of your life!!!  It felt great to know that I was removing 20 some odd years of waste from the walls of my colon.  It is the ultimate cleansing experience.

When your 40 minutes is up he will come in to turn the equipment off and instruct you how to finish up.  Now, at first, you may feel a bit weird having him come in after the procedure, but have no fear, there’s no odor and  a can of air freshener is kept in the room at all times.

Afterwards, you come out and you will have a little chat, (in my case a long chat since I asked so many questions.), and be on your way!  I was concerned about making frequent stops to the bathroom, but you don't!  You can come in on your lunch break and go about your business!

Once again, allow me to state that this is the best experience I’ve had. I’ve since scheduled a second session.   After my first visit last week, I immediately felt lighter and cleaner.  I felt a few cramps after an hour or two and called  Dr. Imani.   He explained that  my colon was simply adjusting to the hydration and release.  I felt fine shortly afterwards and the cramps subsided.  Since completing my second colonic, I haven’t had any cramps, and I feel great.  My belly seems flatter already...!

I hope that my description will help ease the worries of first timers, and I recommend the Nile Wellness Center to everyone.  I will be a regular customer from now on and suggest that you do too!   Also, it is so affordable!

I am so ready to enjoy a cleaner life!

Pros: Cleanliness, Length of experience, Comfort, Location, Price

Cons: I don't think that there could ever be any!
