What is Colon Hydrotherapy? It is basically a health treatment.
Intestinal hygiene helps care for our organism, and within this concept Colon Hydrotherapy has a special therapeutic interest.
It consists of a thorough, in-depth cleansing of the large intestine resulting in total cleanliness of the rectal colon. This is done using warm, very low pressure water that has previously been filtered and purified.
The treatment is performed using modern and safe equipment with sophisticated temperature and pressure control systems.
This therapy is completely hygienic, painless, odourless, and safe because only single-use materials are employed.
What is the importance of the intestinal microflora?
The study of normal microbial flora and its relationship with the human body that constitutes its natural habitat had been long overlooked. It is estimated that every individual hosts 100 billion bacteria from around 400 different species.
More than 95% of this bacteria population lives in the digestive tract, especially in the colon.
The colonic microflora contains numerous species capable of promoting beneficial effects for our health:
- Fermentation of residue from the diet and endogenous mucins
- Development, stimulation and modulation of the immune system
- Protection against the colonisation and invasion of pathogens
The different microbial populations and the tissue cells in contact with these bacteria are considered to make up, in healthy individuals, an ecosystem whose components are balanced. But due to exogenous or endogenous influences, this balance may be disturbed and the flora may turn into a pathogen for the host.
