What to expect at Upstate Colonics

A typical Colon Hydrotherapy session

Colon hydrotherapy is an all-natural treatment. You can expect your session to be private, comfortable and relaxing.

For starters, you'll be given some paperwork, and asked a few health-related questions. We want to make sure that you're a good candidate for treatment, before we begin. You'll walk into a private room, where the colon hydrotherapy system is located. Your therapist will leave the room, so you can undress from the waist down. By yourself, you'll lay down on the colonic table, and gently insert a small, lubricated nozzle  in your rectum. (Plastic gloves and ointment are provided) Then, you can cover up with a large paper blanket and ring the bell for the therapist to return. Rest assured that your experience will be completely private and safe.

The therapist will instruct you on how to start the water and monitor you through out the session. While you are on the system, you will be instructed to hold the water in the colon until you feel the urge to push the water out of the colon. (This is basically what we do when having a bowl movement)

You will be covered during the entire session, you privacy and integrity is never compromised. The session takes about 45 minutes and then afterwards you may resume your normal activities.  

Clients have reported many benefits, including increased energy, more stamina, improved digestion, faster metabolism, weight loss, and improved health.

What kind of equipment is used for colonic hydrotherapy?

We use the Colenz System, which is a safe, dignified approach to bowel cleaning.  It is an open system with no offensive odors. Your dignity is always maintained. Our system features a PATENTED three-stage water filtration system designed specifically to deliver purified water for your hydrotherapy. Of course, this results in the cleanest water but goes further to reduce the harmful effects of chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, bacteria and other toxins.

Our Colenz System is safe, comfortable and effective. We use a small rectal nozzle, and the inner basin allows easy view of water through clear water for inspection and/or removal for laboratory tests.

I-ACT heightens the awareness of the colon hydrotherapy profession, ensures continuing and progressive education in the field of colon hydrotherapy and implements professionalism beyond reproach.

Angela received her education in colon hydrotherapy from the Awareness Institute for Wellness in Atlanta. She has eight years experience as a Nurse Assistant. After a personal tragedy, Angela ventured out on a journey into natural health. She read hundreds of books, listened to cds and attended seminars. Eventually, Angela discovered colonics. Why colonics? Because it restores the natural balance of the body, so that you can heal yourself naturally, without drugs or surgery.

If colonics are so good, why haven't I heard of them before?

The present-day colon hydrotherapy system was developed around the turn of the 20th century. Up to the late 1920s, many doctors had colonic  machines in their offices and hospitals. Until the early 1930's, articles dealing with colon health frequently appeared in prestigious medical and scientific journals.

In the 1940's, mankind began a 50-year love affair with drugs and surgery. Taking a pill for whatever ails you seems like a good idea, if you can go on living as you always have, without making any changes in your diet, lifestyle or exercise habits. Modern medicine seemed to offer instant relief for body ailments. This caused the public to lose interest in purification and prevention techniques. Recently, the tide is turning. Public interest in natural health is growing. More and more, people want natural approaches for healing the body. Colonics are rapidly regaining the respectability it deserves.
