Colon Hydrotherapy at Flora is performed using a modern, closed‑system device designed for comfort, privacy, and ease. A small, single‑use disposable speculum is gently inserted, allowing warm, purified water to flow into the colon. Our system uses multi‑stage filtration and UV sanitation to ensure the cleanest water possible for every session.

As water moves in and out of the colon, waste is carried away through a closed drainage line — discreetly, without odor, and without interrupting your comfort or dignity. After each session, the entire unit is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in preparation for the next client.

Your certified colon hydrotherapist will guide the process with care, using gentle fills and releases of water to support natural elimination. With your consent, they may incorporate light abdominal massage, reflexology points, or breathing techniques to encourage movement and flow.

Water temperature and pressure are monitored throughout the session and adjusted as needed to support comfort and healthy peristalsis. Your therapist will also observe your progress and may recommend additional sessions based on your individual goals and response.

Many clients leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more energized, often noticing easier elimination and an overall sense of renewed well‑being.

Is colon cleansing addictive?

Colon Hydrotherapy is not addictive. It encourages the restoration of the colon’s natural function by strengthening peristalsis.

What’s the difference between colon cleansing and enemas?

With colon hydrotherapy the entire large intestine is cleansed and the therapeutic benefits are much greater than those achieved with an enema. Enema cleansing is limited to the rectum area and due to the body’s natural wish to expel, are limited in duration. Over-the-counter suppositories stimulate expulsion of the contents of the rectum, but contribute to dehydration which may exacerbate a constipated condition.

What to expect during my session?

Each colon hydrotherapy session lasts approximately 45 minutes and one should allow at least one hour per office visit. Initially, a series of at least three separate therapy sessions is usually recommended, to achieve the maximum cleansing benefit. This helps to eliminate fecal matter which may have been lodged in the colon for weeks, months, or even years, and to keep the client properly hydrated.

Cleansing maintenance

Colon hydrotherapy provides a proven way to cleanse your colon, and thereby to increase your chances of maintaining optimal health. But maintaining good health is an ongoing process which requires diligence.

After the initial series of colon hydrotherapy sessions, you may be well advised to seek a colon hydrotherapy every three to six months. In this way, you can maintain the benefits achieved during your first colon hydrotherapy sessions, as well as maintain a strong functioning colon. Your colon therapist should be able to suggest a reasonable schedule depending on your personal health status and desire for further therapy.

How does the actual session and equipment work?

The procedure itself is very simple. The process consists of gently filling your colon with water and when you feel the sensation that you have to go to the bathroom we will release the water and waste. It feels similar to having to go to the bathroom. It is a simple fill and release procedure the entire time. During your session with the therapist you will be able to talk to her about what she sees and what she thinks will be the best way to further assist you with cleansing your body.

How do I prepare for a colonic?

1-2 days before:

• Hydrate – drink 1/2 your body weight minimum upwards to your full body weight in ounces of water daily. (It is ideal to do this everyday!)

• Drink fresh pressed organic vegetable juices.

• If chronically constipated, add organic aloe vera juice 1-6oz daily and magnesium citrate
• Eat healthy and nourishing foods unless you are fasting.

• No processed food, fast food, dairy, gluten, fizzy drinks, or alcohol.

• Try to eat as vegan as possible.

The day of your session:

• Hydrate

• Vegetable juices

• No fast food, fizzy drinks, coffee, or alcohol.

• No food/beverages 2 hours prior to your appointment

• Get yourself in a calm, peaceful state of mind.

Can I still do my colonic if I am menstruating?

YES! This is a great time to do a colonic as your body is already detoxing itself. Colonics will also assist in reducing cramps (reducing pressure in the pelvis) and improving hormonal flow throughout the body. Utilize a tampon and continue with your colonic as usual!

What are the contraindications?

Severe Cardiac Disease (uncontrolled hypertension or congestive heart failure)

After your colonic:

• Probiotics to replenish the good bacteria in your gut
  Try coconut culture, coco yo, forager cashew yogurt and/or sauerkraut.
  Good food based probiotics are the best until you know for sure if your body is absorbing the pills you take. You could be wasting a lot of money on supplements; especially when your colon is the site where you absorb the nutrients in the foods you eat and the supplements you take- another reason why colonics are so important.

• Minerals, Magnesium, Trace Minerals, vitamineral greens, Electrolytes

• Food, no dairy, gluten, processed foods 24-48 hours after.

• Water- drink 1/2 your body weight to full body weight in oz of water making sure to add minerals to it.

Does it hurt?

A colonic doesn’t hurt. There may be mild discomfort during insertion and if you are releasing toxins, you may feel some cramping or other discomfort. Afterwards, you typically feel lighter, and less foggy and bloated.
