Colonics

 

BACTERIA & PARASITES CANNOT CAUSE DISEASE UNLESS THEY FIND THE RIGHT SOIL IN WHICH TO GROW AND MULTIPLY.

The colon is home for over 90 trillion bacteria – the largest colony of bacteria in the body and 9 times more profuse than human cells. This colony of bacteria is formed by many different species that promote healthy digestion, breakdown and absorption of certain vitamins and minerals and immunity support. Intestinal bacteria is intimately related to our mood, food cravings and even hormonal balance. Imbalance of the species of the intestinal flora or invasion of pathogenic species can cause severe disease.

At the Ayurvedic & Naturopathic Medical Clinic, colonic therapy has very different meaning from most other places in the West. Colonic represents a modern version of a traditional Ayurvedic therapy called Basti.

Therapeutic colonic is a western version of the colonic treatment. But this only involves the cleansing aspect of Ayurvedic Basti. Our approach is beneficial for:

  • Constipation
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Small intestinal bacterial over-growth (SIBO)
  • Kidney disease
  • Liver and gallbladder congestion
  • Mega-colon
  • Recurrent exposure to antibiotics
  • Other gastrointestinal diseases
