What is colon hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy is a process of introducing warm purified water into the colon through a small tube. When the colon becomes filled with water, the water flows out through a larger tube bringing with it old fecal matter. The process of introducing water, and then releasing stored fecal debris typically lasts about 45 minutes.

How much old fecal matter is stored in the colon?
It’s estimated that the colon stores about 3-5 lbs of debris, and in some individuals this can be as much as 20 lbs. This old fecal matter stores in pockets in the colon wall, which becomes hardened mucus attached to any part of the colon wall.
How many sessions are recommended in order to clean the colon entirely?
The number of sessions recommended depends on your condition and symptoms. People with minor issues may do well after 3 to 6 sessions. Others require more sessions.
