Colonic Irrigation / Hydrotherapy (Enemas)

Colonic irrigation and enemas are amongst the oldest recorded medical treatments. Implements for giving enemas and descriptions of their use are recorded in the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus dating form 1500BC. The most famous physcian Hippocrates described using donkey milk, honey, sweet wine olive and soda enemas. Since these early times enemas were used extensively as part of the lay healers treatments until around the mid-1800′s when medicine became a more organised science-based practice. Enemas and colonics continued to be used in the home and hospitals, usually administered by nurses or midwives, to ensure daily bowel movements- a recognistion of the importance of maintaining regular elimination to allow the body to heal.

Colonic irrigation / hydrotherapy is a well established natural therapy that acts directly on the colon. An infusion of warm purified water is introduced gently under a low pressure via a small tube, which circulates throughout the colon. This effectively removes waste matter and toxins that have built up and adhered to the colon wall and not removed during normal excretion.

How it works

The AskNutrition clinic uses a gravity feed portable closed system.  The equipment pulls hot and cold water that is purified through the machine.  This is then gently fed into the bowel with individual disposable equipment at body temperature.  The client wears a patient gown and is covered with a towel for privacy, which is respected at all times.  All waste material leaves via a continued closed system.  This means the client is not exposed to any unpleasant smell or awareness that is often experienced with other systems.

Fiona Gibson is a post graduate trained by Dr Milo Stewart.  This form of training is only open to Doctors, Nurses, Nutritionists or Herbalist who have already undertaken intensive training in their disciplines in Anatomy and Physiology, plus clinical training in their field.  They also have to have run a full time practice for three years.

You can therefore be assured that you are dealing with an experienced practitioner who offers colonics as part of her practice.
