Colon hydrotherapy

What is the colon? Also known as the ‘ large intestine’ , the colon is the terminal part of the digestive system, shorter and larger in diameter than the ‘connecting’ small intestine. The colon represents a fundamental part of digestion and a fundamental component in the well-being of the individual, so much so that a particular type of treatment must be dedicated to this organ, known as colon hydrotherapy.

This consists of a sort of internal washing, which helps the colon to get rid of gas, accumulated fecal material, mucus deposits and waste. Colon hydrotherapy is a technique recommended by both conventional and unconventional medicine, as well as naturopathy. Supporters of this therapy consider it much more effective than a simple enema (enema) as the large intestine is treated in its entirety , from the anus to the cecum, while the water is not retained.

So are the substances present in the colon harmful? Germs (parasites) present in the intestine are capable of producing enormous quantities of toxic material (methanol, propanol, butanol, ammonia, methane, skatole, putrescine, cadaverine, indole, etc.). Normally, this type of substances are expelled, but in conditions of altered equilibrium it is possible that a reabsorption of the same is triggered which leads to a state of intoxication and therefore physical discomfort.

So what are the beneficial effects of colon hydrotherapy?
