What causes it?

Obesity is caused by two simple factors - an unhealthy diet (typically too rich in sugar and fats) and not doing enough exercise to burn off the calories consumed. Occasionally, there are other factors, for example in a rare genetic condition called Prader-Willi syndrome there may be problems with controlling hunger. Hypothyroidism and Cushing’s syndrome can also cause obesity.

What are its effects?

These include problems with the joints and bones (such as slipped femoral epiphysis and bow legs), a condition called benign intracranial hypertension that produces headaches and affects vision, hypoventilation (leading to drowsiness during the day, snoring and even heart failure), gall bladder disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, high blood pressure, high levels of blood fats and diabetes.

There are also marked psychological effects leading to low self-esteem.

Who’s affected?

More and more children in the UK are becoming obese - it’s been described as a modern epidemic. Around 27 per cent of children are now overweight and research suggests the main problem is a continual reduction in the amount of exercise children take. Many overweight children have overweight parents - it’s often a matter of family lifestyles.

Many people have pre-conceived ideas about Colonic Hydrotherapy and Colonic Irrigation and imagine the worst, whereas it is in fact a colonic treatment which leaves you feeling clean, revitalised and well. It was used in UK hospitals until relatively recently when the cost became uneconomical in face of strong purgatives used before bowel procedures.

The colonic treatment itself exercises and tones the bowel thus aiding the evacuation of waste both during and after treatment. The toxic load on the body is reduced.

Colonic treatment is now used in the UK as a naturopathic modality and is particularly useful in treating:

• Primary bowel conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and constipation where the bowel can be normalised through water temperature variation during treatment.
• Some organic disease states such as diverticulosis where regular elimination is important. Bowel transit time is improved.
• Many secondary conditions, especially those affecting the other eliminative organs (skin, urinary tract and lungs), where they are accompanied by poor bowel mechanics.
• Body detoxification, when accompanied by dietary measures.

The benefits of colonic irrigation can often be quickly observed in the form of improved bowel function together with clearer skin, more mental clarity and fewer headaches. Circulatory, immune, inflammatory and weight problems can also often improve with colonic treatments when accompanied by recommended diet and lifestyle changes. After treatment from our colonic therapists, the bowel is better able to absorb nutrients and less likely to absorb enterotoxins.

Unlike enemas, it is not habit-forming.
