Colonic irrigation (colonic hydrotherapy) is a gentle internal bath using warm, purified water that can help to eliminate stored faecal matter, gas, mucus and toxic substances from the colon.

A colonic can help with:

# Allergies and intolerances
# Irritable bowel syndrome I B S
# Constipation
# Diarrhoea
# Flatulence
# Bloating
# Skin problems
# Headaches
# Candida (thrush / yeast infections)
# M.E. M.E. Website

Many people feel better all over, as well as lighter and more comfortable. A colonic is also a great kick-start to a diet or detox program.

Additional benefits can often be observed throughout the body in the form of clearer skin, more energy and mental clarity, fewer headaches, with circulatory, immune and weight problems often improving, amongst many other positive side effects.

At The Milton Keynes Colonic Clinic many of our patients are referred by their GP or alternative therapist, particularly those suffering from I B S All our colonic therapists are fully qualified by I-ACT (The International Association of Colonic Hydrotherapists), the International Association of Colonic Therapists, which gives other health professionals added confidence when recommending our services.

What's so great about colonic hydrotherapy?

Colonic irrigation washes away encrusted waste matter that you can't always get rid of yourself. It can also hydrate the bowel and the rest of the body, helping improve digestion, improve energy levels, reduce bloating and improve constipation.

Are colonics safe?

At our clinic yes! Colonic irrigation has been around for hundreds of years, since 1500 BC, and thousands of colonics have been given safely. The water is pre-filtered and only enters the body using gravity pressure, so it's a gentle procedure.

Other clinics use machines which have preset pressure gauges. We believe that everyones colonic treatment is very personal, and at The Milton Keynes Colonic Clinic your treatment is tailored to meet your individual needs.

For this reason we do not endorse machine led treatments, and our patients that have experienced the machine system agree with us!

Cleanliness

The treatment itself is very clean, without any smell.

All equipment is disinfected using hospital approved disinfecting solutions, which kill all viruses, bacteria and fungi to remove any possibility of cross-contamination between clients - an essential precaution in our opinion.

We believe that the cleaning protocol used at our clinic far exceeds those of any clinic we have experienced. Although the procedure is extremely clean all surfaces in the treatment room that could have been touched by a patient are disinfected between treatments, including door handles.

Some clinics boast that they use disposable speculums for their treatments. We believe that disposable speculums pose a greater risk for infection than disinfected reusable speculums.

We also believe that you have the right to choose and we offer both options.

Disposable speculums are pre-packed and cannot be sterilised sucessfully using hospital approved disinfectants as they very quickly start to degrade. However careful a clinic is (and believe us we have tried) they cannot verify that the environment that the speculum has been packed in is sterile.

We have heard some horror stories of speculums being packed in third world countries where various viruses are very virilent, without care being given to ensure that surfaces the speculum has touched are sterile

For this reason alone we are not happy to use disposable speculums but we do have them if required.

Other reasons include the possibility of plastic inserted within the anal area being possibly carciogenic, as well as the fact they are not that comfortable!

Disposable speculums are available if you insist, but in the three years we have been open we have only used them twice and each time the patient then reverted to the standard sterilised speculum. (Don't say we didn't warn you!)

What happens when I come for an appointment?

We will have sent you a medical questionnaire beforehand to give you plenty of time to fill it out at home.

The therapist will go through your information, explain the procedure, and if appropriate continue with the treatment.

The colonic itself takes about 40 minutes during which time water is gently introduced into the colon via the rectum. The therapist may also use special massage techniques to stimulate the release of stored matter. Your modesty is preserved at all times.

The therapist can also advise you of any dietary changes which will help to enhance your treatment. At the end of the treatment we give you a probiotic to maintain the good bacteria in your bowel and support your immune system.

Is having a colonic embarrassing?

No. You're covered by a towel during the treatment. Again, unlike other clinics we do not use blankets as they can lead to cross infection. All towels are laundered after each treatment.

How large is the tube?

A lot smaller than everyone anticipates! The speculum is inserted about an inch into the body and is actually quite comfortable.

How often should I have a colonic treatment?

It very much depends on your reason for wanting colonics in the first place. On average, most people find that at least two treatments within two weeks is best to start off with.

During your first treatment you will have approximately 10 gallons of water gently washed in and out, and the therapist will use various water temperatures to see what works best for you.

On your second treatment you will have a between 15 and 20 gallons as your body is more used to the detox.

After that your therapist will recommend when, and if, further treatments are required. Although colonics are not habit forming we prefer not to treat you too often, preferring to give you advice on how you can maintain a healthy colon at home.

How do I book?

Telephone is best, we strongly recommend that you book your first two treatments when you ring to ensure you get the recommended two weeks between your first treatments. Contact us on 0845 475 0606.

Is there anyone who shouldn't have a colonic?

Anyone with any ongoing medical issues should check with us before making an appointment. The most common conditions that would preclude you from having a colonic are high or low blood pressure, severe anaemia, ulcerative colitis, bleeding piles, anal fissures, some recent surgical procedures or pregnancy. If you are unsure please ring us.

How much is a colonic?

Treatments are £80. Additional treatments are available for specific conditions such as Candida, these can be discussed with you at your consultation. For example Oxygen treatments can be given at the same time as the colonic and costs an additional £10.

As we give you the opportunity to do some of the paperwork at home before coming to see us we don't need to charge for taking a patient history. After all, the best person to answer questions about your health is you!
