Colon Hydrotherap : Closed-system

The intestines are a very important organ in the body and serve as a crucial frontline defense to protect overall health. Consuming poor - quality food, allergenic foods, and various toxins can cause the intestines to malfunction and disrupt the balance of intestinal bacteria. This imbalance can lead to symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, unusual fatigue, unexplained itching rashes, chronic acne, depression, and may even contribute to autoimmune diseases or colon cancer.
Even daily bowel movements cannot guarantee that there are no toxins remaining in the intestines. Colon cleansing helps remove fecal matter stuck to the intestinal walls that can cause inflammation or carcinogens. It reduces internal intestinal inflammation, eliminates harmful bacteria and fungi, and increases the amount of beneficial bacteria.
There are several methods for colon cleansing: self-administered at home, open-system colon cleansing devices, or closed-system colon cleansing devices. Each method yields different results. Self-administered cleansing is the least effective and provides the lowest level of cleanliness because water pressure cannot be controlled and water flows into the intestines by gravity alone. Open-system devices improve on this by using machines to push water deeper into the intestines than self-cleansing. However, open-system colon cleansing still cannot generate enough pressure to clean the entire colon fully; it only removes waste from the lower intestines and cannot eliminate toxins and waste that have adhered firmly to the intestinal walls over a long period.
Closed-system colon cleansing is therefore the best method. It involves cleansing the colon with purified water that has undergone sterilization. The system controls water pressure, temperature, and volume to suit the body, ensuring safety when cleansing the deepest parts of the colon. During the procedure, the machine slowly introduces water into the colon, while waste is expelled through a closed system tube, so there is no need to strain, no mess, and no unpleasant odors. Throughout the cleansing session, a medical assistant provides continuous abdominal massage and care, all under the supervision of a specialist doctor for approximately 45 minutes.
