What is colon hydrotherapy

Colon hydrotherapy, also known by the abbreviation ICT, is a therapeutic practice that uses the power of water to cleanse and wash the colon of gas, fecal material, mucus deposits or various types of waste.

The periodic irrigations practiced by an expert doctor allow you to fully enjoy this technique of purification and lightening of the body , painlessly and in just over half an hour.

The patient is in fact invited to lie down, after which a sterile probe introduced into the rectum will gradually release purified water at a regulated temperature, so as to begin the work of softening and then eliminating the deposits.

Colitis treated with colon hydrotherapy 

Colitis  , also known as irritable bowel syndrome or irritable  bowel syndrome , indicates a disorder that is often accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and changes in defecation.

Colitis sufferers may experience  diarrhea  or  constipation  or both alternately. 

Colon hydrotherapy is generally considered to be more effective than a simple enema (enema) because the entire large intestine, from the anus to the cecum, is treated and water is not retained.

Basically there are many disorders and pathologies for which a good outcome is found through the practice of colon hydrotherapy, in particular connected with intestinal problems , such as constipation or diarrhea, hemorrhoids , diverticulosis not in acute phase, irritable colon, swelling or colitis , precisely.

Centers that practice colon hydrotherapy (such as the colon hydrotherapy center in North Milan ) recommend this type of cleansing of the organism, in connection with colitis, as regards non-specific situations linked to toxic or bacterial causes; while it is generally not recommended in ulcerative colitis in the active phase.

Where colon hydrotherapy is practiced 

Colon hydrotherapy is a technique that brings together conventional and unconventional medicine , naturopathy and alternative medicine.

The reason lies precisely in the fact that by improving the waste elimination process , the response of nutritional, homeopathic, homotoxicological, phytotherapeutic, manipulative, bioenergetic, vibrational and alternative treatments in general is also amplified, and at the same time the response of conventional treatments of classical medicine .

First of all , colon hydrotherapy is practiced in public health hospitals; there are also private medical centers that practice it, as well as spas , Trescore thermal baths  for example, or similar places.

However, we must be very careful: this practice must not be improvised or entrusted to inexperienced hands, as it is by no means without contraindications. It is always good to seek the advice of your doctor and rely on professional centers and serious specialists.
