Brunswick Holistic Health - Herbal colon hydrotherapy

Herbal colon hydrotherapy

After completing the initial three hydrotherapy treatments, the colon is cleansed of hard, impacted fecal matter and accumulated wastes. This is the perfect time to try out a herbal colonic.

The walls of the colon are very permeable and absorptive so provide an ideal means to deliver tonics and medicines. When herbs and nutrients are infused into the colon, they are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, and are not altered or diluted by going through the digestive system. The effect of taking herbs or tonics this way is instant, and more effective than taking them orally.

At BHH we prepare herbal tonics to treat the needs of the patient. Popular and effective remedies are liver tonics and our anti-candida formula.

Liver tonics:

The liver is such an important organ in the body, performing many vital functions – metabolizing all ingested substances, purifying the blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, supporting immunity, detoxifying hormones, aiding the digestion of fats, and processing all the toxins that our body comes in contact with. In today’s world the liver is generally overburdened - most people’s liver could do with a bit of a helping hand.

This treatment is particularly beneficial for those with symptoms of a toxic liver such as:

Headaches
Blood sugar problems
Poor digestion
Fatigue
Bloating
Fluid retention
Nausea
Weight gain
Constipation
Difficulty losing weight
Irritable bowel syndrome
High cholesterol
Allergies and food intolerances
High blood pressure
Skin disorders

You may present with these symptoms if:

Your diet is poor
You drink alcohol
You have been taking medication, including pain killers
You are on Hormone Replacement Therapy
You have a history of liver damage or disease
You have come into contact with chemicals either externally or on your food

Liver herbs or brewed organic coffee can be infused into the colon to effectively decongest and tonify the liver.

Anti-candida treatment:

Candida is an organism that naturally lives in our gut, and is not troublesome when its numbers are kept in check. However when it proliferates it causes a range of unpleasant symptoms including:

Bloating, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, constipation, rectal irritation
heartburn, sugar cravings
thrush (vaginal or oral)
jock itch, athletes foot, skin infections
foggy head, mood swings, muscle and joint pain.
Candida can also lodge in the urinary tract causing bladder and kidney infections, or in the respiratory tract causing sinusitis and congestion.

So what causes it to proliferate?

Candida loves sugar, so when you eat a lot of sugary, yeasty, fermented foods, this feeds the candida and it proliferates.

Taking the Pill or Cortisone (steroid anti-inflammatories) also allows candida to thrive as it raises blood sugar levels. Diabetics who do not control their blood sugars levels adequately may also have problems with candida overgrowth.

Also, if you don’t have enough good bacteria in your gut candida will proliferate.

Taking antibiotics kills off the good bacteria in our gut and allows candida to thrive, hence the common side effects of taking anti-biotics being digestive upset and thrush.

Finally, those with poor immunity can also suffer from candida problems, as their immune system is unable to keep the numbers of candida cells under control. Once candida proliferates throughout the body it causes a range of unpleasant symptoms, and can become very difficult to eradicate. People may suffer from the above symptoms for years without really knowing what the problem is or how they can treat it. This is where herbal colonics is very effective. By infusing into the colon a potent blend of herbs and nutrients, the candida is eradicated, the immune system is boosted and years of misery and discomfort can be put to an end.

If you suffer from candida overgrowth, come into the clinic and have a chat.

Even if you don’t want to have colonics, there are other remedies that can be very effective treatment.
