colon cleansing

Colon cleansing

Colon cleansing is practiced only with the agreement of the physician in charge of the clinic.

Although it is a painless intervention and extremely effective in detoxifying the body, it must be performed under certain conditions.

The benefits of colon cleansing

Colon cleansing, also known as colonic hydrotherapy, is a gentle method of deep detoxification of the large intestine as well as the entire organism. Unlike an enema, this intestinal hygiene practice is supervised by a certified hydrotherapist and is performed with temperate and filtered water.

An intestine cleansed of its residues prevents the progressive intoxication of the organism, favors the healing process and offers a sense of well-being.

This practice has been used for thousands of years to improve intestinal, immune, energetic and psychic dynamics.

Contraindications and warnings

The purge, although strongly recommended the day before a detox or fasting cure, is not however an essential condition for the success of your stay.

People with low vitality or a weakened digestive system should not purge because they may feel unwell.

Colon hydrotherapy is not recommended in the case of:

  • Pregnancy
  • Old age
  • Low vitality, extreme thinness
  • Convalescence following a surgical operation
  • Liver or kidney disease
  • Heavy medical treatment such as chemotherapy
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Acute hemorrhoids
  • Rectal or intestinal tumors
  • Ulcerative colitis or diverticulitis
  • Hypertension
  • Psychological blockage

The Lémana Clinic will be able to advise you if hydrotherapy should be avoided for you.

  • A hot water bottle (helps the liver to relax and to apply if pain or tension)
