Benefits of Colonic Lavage Therapy
Colonic Lavage Therapy may provide many benefits, including:
- Therapeutic improvement of muscle tone, facilitating peristalsis and benefiting
a sluggish colon.
- Cleanses the entire colon from rectum to caecum, providing relief and prevention
of chronic constipation.
- Facilitates the removal of stagnant faecal matter and subsequent proliferation
of bacteria and their toxins, along with gas, mucus, parasites and cellular
debris, allowing the colon to perform its natural functions of absorption
and assimilation optimally.
- Is effective therapy for faecal impaction.
- An excellent screening device for early detection of Colorectal cancer.
- An easy, non-chemical, completely effective way of preparing for diagnostic
studies such as Colonoscopy, Sigmoidoscopy or Barium Enema.
- An effective part of the preparation prior to bowel surgery, promoting an
optimal surgical field, and potentially decreasing the risk of post-operative
complications due to the presence of bacteria at the suture site.
- Extremely useful for alcohol / drug detoxification, enhancing the elimination
of toxins from the colon and bloodstream.
A very valuable therapy for those suffering from any form of
malignant disease. Many cancer patients suffer from constipation, as a result
of their disease and / or drug therapy. The elimination of internal toxins is
vital in the healing process. Effective elimination's also beneficial in the
management of pain.
Paraplegics and Quadriplegics
It is essential for their wellbeing that satisfactory bowel and bladder function be established and maintained.
Colonic Lavage Therapy, as it gently fills the colon with pure water, is able
to soften and remove impacted faecal matter, and provide relief from bowel problems
associated with spinal cord injury.
This procedure reduces the need for laxatives, suppositories and manual removal of impacted faecal matter.
Geriatrics The population of senior citizens
is increasing annually, and many due to lack of exercise, poor nutrition, lack
of fibre in their diet and dehydration suffer from constipation. Colonic Lavage
Therapy gives effective relief of constipation and the need to wear pads due
to the embarrassment of leakage. It assists in the nursing home situation, where
laxatives and then clean-up, takes much of the nursing staff's time. Our clinic
has special facilities for these patients, wheel chair access, lifting equipment,
special parking and trained staff who are there to make these clients feel at
ease, as they undergo treatment.
