Irritable Bowel Syndrome

How can a colonic help IBS?

​

• Hydration of the colon

​

• Engages peristaltic action, thereby activating enteric nervous system

 

• Strengthens colon and relaxes a spastic colon

 

• Rebalancing of gut bacteria

 

• Viewing of the released contents can tell a story – undigested food, increased mucous release due to inflammation, yeast, gas/air, colour and form of stool

 

• Enough time to get patient to talk, open up, acknowledge and let go

 

• Enough time to educate on the simple aspects of digestion, thereby empowering the patient

 

• A well trained and experienced therapist will know how to advise on which other therapies to integrate
