Frequently Asked Questions

Colon hydrotherapy involves inserting a small tube called a speculum into the clients colon through the rectum. Warm water is then delivered into the colon through the tube, facilitating the removal of water and waste. Generally, the procedure lasts approximately 30 minutes. 

During the procedure, clients may feel sensations of filling and releasing in the colon. While some discomfort is possible, the procedure is generally well-tolerated and not painful. 

Before a colonic, remember to stay hydrated, have light meals, avoid gas-producing foods, caffeine, and alcohol. 

Please inform the therapist of any medical conditions or concerns. 

After a colonic, it is essential to take care of your body. Remember to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to rehydrate your system. Opt for light, easily digestible foods to support your body's recovery. 

Consider adding probiotics to your diet or taking supplements to promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria. 

Avoid consuming gas-producing foods that could cause discomfort or bloating. Engage in light physical activities like walking or gentle stretching to encourage healthy bowel movements. 

Listen to and be gentle with your body for a day or two. 

 At Undercurrent Colonics, I utilise the closed system colon hydrotherapy technique, which ensures a clean, odour-free, and hassle-free experience. It's perfectly normal to feel concerned about the insertion of the speculum tube. Please rest assured that this step is quick and straightforward, and my main focus is to make you feel comfortable throughout the process. 

Most of us carry around up to 5 kilograms of hardened, rubbery faeces in our colon. Removing this waste requires significant effort. One colonic session can remove some waste, but multiple sessions are often needed. 

The number of treatments you'll have depends on your personal goals. Typically, starting with 3-4 treatments within a 10-14 day period is recommended to achieve the best results in clearing waste throughout the colon. 

 In every person's bowel, a diverse mix of bacteria plays vital roles in absorption, enzyme production, stool formation, and elimination. However, some individuals may experience an imbalance of these bacteria, affecting their normal bowel habits. 

Colonics can help restore balance to these bacteria, offering a chance to reset healthy dietary habits and encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria. 

Rest assured that at Undercurrent Colonics, I prioritise hygiene and safety. For each treatment, I use disposable tubing, speculums, and pads that are all replaced, ensuring a clean and sanitary environment.  

Your well-being is my top priority. To ensure this I maintain a high standard of hygienic practice.
