Colonic irrigation procedure:
Though you need not make any special preparations prior to having colonic irrigation, it is not advisable to eat a large meal or drink a lot before the procedure. Your therapist will ask you some questions about your lifestyle and medical history.
During the procedure, You will need to lie on your side, while warm water is passed into your bowel through a tube that is inserted into your rectum (back passage). This water circulates through your colon in order to make your bowel empty itself of the waste products and pass them out of your body through the tube.
After about 10 minutes, you will lie on your back while the therapist gently massages your abdomen to help the process along. The whole procedure will usually take about 40-45 minutes.
After the procedure, you will be given some probiotics that contain bacteria, in order to help you keep your digestive system healthy. These may either be inserted into your rectum, or taken as tablets.
