For the ultimate in cleansing and detoxification, consider the gaining popularity of Colon Hydrotherapy treatment.
Symptoms of poor colon health include PMS, bloating, fatigue, constipation, weight gain and skin blemishes, to name a few. The average person can have between 3-20 pounds of fecal matter in their colon—accumulated waste that remains for months, even years, that can contribute to autointoxication leading to poor health.
Colonics are a safe, effective procedure for cleansing the large intestine of waste by gentle, repeated flushing with water. Having experienced one ourselves, it wasn’t bad at all—in fact, we’d do it again without hesitation.
We had the usual apprehensions, but our fears were completely unfounded. Naturopathic Doctor Taras Rodak maintained the utmost in professionalism throughout the procedure. The Wellness Institute is a clean and relaxing environment, where we felt at ease the entire time. During treatment, approximately 30-40 litres of water was used to cleanse, re-hydrate and stimulate the bowel. Afterward we felt fine, and a half pound lighter!
The Wellness Institute is one of the few naturopathic clinics in Toronto to offer colon hydrotherapy.
