The colon (large intestine) is the last part of the gastrointestinal system. 'Hydrotherapy' means treatment with water. It is the process of cleansing the large intestines and is an important supportive treatment for both digestive tract dysfunctions and immune system diseases. With the colon hydrotherapy device, the large intestines are cleansed through water given at controlled pressure at human body temperature. Foods that pass through the stomach and small intestine are finally processed in the colon and the important nutrients contained in them are absorbed and mixed into the blood. In chronic constipation and when the intestines do not function well, waste constantly accumulates on the colon wall. These residues (mucoid plaque) adhere to the colon wall and cause the microorganisms (flora) in the colon wall to change (autointoxication). The most common cause of poisoning in our body is toxins that accumulate in the blood as a result of poor functioning of the intestines. Colon hydrotherapy cleanses the body of toxins in adults and children.
The large intestine is the channel through which solid waste in our body is excreted. There is a subject that is not discussed in the medical literature today, and that is that a clean intestine is needed for the absorption of nutrients and the excretion of waste. A healthy functioning intestine is also a prerequisite for a healthy cleansing. It is normal to go to the toilet 1-2 times a day, but it does not mean that the person does not need colon hydrotherapy and cleansing. An unhealthy diet, wastes with high adhesive properties in food due to environmental pollution (chemicals, drugs, plastic, etc.), an unhealthy lifestyle weakens the large intestine, disrupts its functions, waste begins to accumulate on the colon walls, and these wastes cause the growth of unhealthy bacteria. When the colon fills with waste materials, bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, and dead cellular material, the result is that the intestine absorbs its own poison. This inflammation damages the colon surface and normal absorption of nutrients, secretory function and normal contractile functions of the colon are impaired. These, in turn, create conditions for other health problems. There are approximately 1014 microorganisms in our body. This figure is 10 times more than the total number of cells in our body. Microorganisms are most commonly found in the GIS, skin, genitourinary system and respiratory tract. It is available in the numeral system. The colon alone hosts 70% of the microorganisms in our body. More than 400 bacterial species can be cultured in the GI tract. The importance of this issue is increasing in current medicine, and even fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is used as a classical treatment in a wide variety of diseases. Fecal bacteriotherapy, fecal transfusion and stool transplantation, also known as FMT terminology, is the process of placing stool from a healthy donor into the recipient's gastrointestinal system. massage is done. Thus, water is delivered to the deep folds of the intestine and intestinal emptying is supported.
How colon hydrotherapy is applied
In a colon hydrotherapy session, a thin rectal tube is placed on the person who lies on a stretcher. This tube is combined with a device that adjusts the temperature, volume and frequency of administration of water, and the person's intestine is filled and emptied with water for approximately 30-35 minutes. Colon hydrotherapy is a comfortable procedure performed with disposable consumables and in an extremely hygienic environment. Intestinal washing is generally done with 37-38 0C water and occasionally with 250C water for short periods of time. In this way, the intestine is stimulated, preventing it from flattening and swelling, and increasing the circulation of the intestine and increasing its contraction power. With colon hydrotherapy, waste materials accumulated in the intestinal folds are removed and cleaned with the water given. Thus, an environment is prepared for the formation of a healthy intestinal flora. With colon hydrotherapy, the large intestine is completely cleansed. Applications such as enemas only clean the sigmoid colon, which is the first 20-30 cm of the intestine.
How do digestive systems work?
Human. The digestive system is more than 600 cm from end to end and converts the food you eat into the nutrition your body needs before eliminating any remaining waste. It is a complex process that can easily be disrupted, causing familiar digestive problems.
Stomach and small intestineits main role is to break down and absorb the nutrition in your food. This is done by mechanical and chemical processes, including chewing and shaking, and the release of acids and enzymes. By the time the mixture leaves the small intestine, your body has absorbed 95% of the available nutrients.
The role of the large intestine is to absorb the last remaining amounts of water and nutrients. The colon also ensures safe ejaculation by neutralizing digestive acids and enzymes in this waste so it can pass through your body without causing any damage. Bacteria in the colon work with waste to produce essential vitamins such as biotin and vitamin K. They also ferment waste, approximately 1.5 Liters of gas each day.
Digestive issues
The normal transit time for food is about 24 hours and you move your bowels at least once a day. You should have it done. Problems occur when the transit time is too fast, causing diarrhea, or when it is too slow, causing constipation or bloating. This can be caused by poor nutrition, illness or infections, as well as lifestyle factors such as lack of exercise, disordered eating and missing meals. Colon hydrotherapy is a great way to encourage your colon to function normally again. Your therapist will encourage you to reconnect with your body and make the changes you need to prevent future problems.
Gut and mind
Besides physical causes, digestive problems can also be caused by stress. and may be the result of emotional problems. "I swallowed it", "I felt sick from it", "my stomach was swollen" or "my stomach turned to stone", "I couldn't digest it", "it stuck in my throat" and many other sentences used in slang have a strong emotional effect that can negatively affect our normal digestion. It tells you that there is a bond.
