What is Colonic Hydrotherapy?

Boost your overall wellness

As many of you know, I advocate actively through all my workshops a clean lifestyle (organic food rich in fruits and veggies, filtered water, organic self-care and cleaning products…). I also insist on the importance for our health and wellbeing of regular detox including fasting, heavy metals detox, colonics, coffee enemas, massages etc….

I organise regular Juice Fasting Retreats as they offer an amazing opportunity to pause and reset physically, mentally, emotionally and deepen our spiritual connection. Each retreat is dedicated to a small group of women and combine Reiki, spiritual and energy healing practice, Yin yoga, tips to support your physical, mental, emotional health, daily infrared sauna and a 1,5 hour massage.

Our next retreat will be from 26 to 29/09/24. If you are interested contact me. Private retreats (1 or 2 day package) are also available details Here

Colonics …a full body detoxification

by Lahna Bottoms Up Maroochydore

Colonic irrigation is an ancient practice. More than two thousand years ago, the Egyptians believed that toxins formed due to the decomposition of stool within the intestines. To cleanse the colon, they would insert a reed into the rectum while sitting in a stream. These days, ‘colonic irrigation’ refers to enemas, colema boards, coffee enemas and colonics.

Traditionally, the reason someone would visit a colon hydrotherapist would simply be to remove waste from the large intestine (often uncomfortably). But a little known fact is the true value in colonic hydrotherapy is the ability to absorb the water through the mesenteric system in the colon assisting a full body detoxification: allowing the lymphatic, liver and adrenal system to dump wastes and opening all the elimination pathways.

 The Rojas technique which we use at Bottom Up, is slow and gentle to work with the body and uses the highest quality, triple-filtered water to achieve incredible, long-lasting results. Our method ensures we optimise and enhance the absorption of water from the bowel (through our mesenteric venous system) into all the cells of our body. It is through our strong focus on hydration that we open detoxification pathways, calm the nervous system, increase cellular energy and support the body to eliminate well. Without hydration, the body cannot heal and restore balance.

As we know the body is a system. We are not compartmentalised. The gut has an ‘axis’ – a connection to every organ and system in the body. For example, the gut-brain axis, which most of us have heard about. There is also the skin-gut axis and many more. When working with the gut axis together with any lifestyle disease, at Bottoms Up Colonics, we recognise that the first port of call is to heal the gut! Reducing inflammation and toxicity within the digestive system enhances our elimination processes and pathways allowing for all systems to operate at a much higher level. In no way are we just working with the bowel.

Of course, the digestive system and our long poop-tube are something that we directly work with. However, our understanding of this tremendous tubing system grows daily. When performing a colonic at Bottoms Up Colonics, we work with our four pillars of Rojas colon hydrotherapy (elimination, detoxification, absorption and enhanced cellular hydration) to support, enhance and optimise our five systems of care. These include the digestive system but also our lymphatic system, nervous system, microbial system and emotional system. To affect change, not only in the bowel but throughout the whole body.
