By using the Woods Gravitational method, the colon is gently cleansed of toxins, gas and accumulated faecal matter. Unlike an enema, it does not involve the retention of water. There is no discomfort, no internal pressure, just a steady, gentle flow in and out, accompanied by abdominal massage to stimulate the colon to recover its natural shape, tone and peristaltic wave action.
The number of treatments will vary depending on the individuals condition.
Colonic irrigation is most effective when employed within combination with exercise and a proper diet of non-mucous producing foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables and certain herbs are suggested to help loosen and dissolve accumulated faecal matter. A series of two to eight treatments with three to seven days in between each treatment is ideal. Once the colon is clean, it is advisable to have an irrigation every three to six months to maintain environment. A good time is at the change of seasons, when diet and exercise patterns have changed; before, during and after a fast and also during the cold and flu season.
