Frequently Asked Questions

The prescription is not for medication or something you take. It is similar to an order or a referral for services. Texas requires that you must have a prescription on file with your colon hydrotherapist at the time of our session. You may obtain a prescription from your preferred doctor and bring it to your session or have it faxed to our office. We have a medical director who can assist with fulfilling this requirement for all of our clients if needed. There is a fee applied when using our Medical Director. 

Unless you have a prescription from your doctor, Colon Hydrotherapy should not be administered if you are currently diagnosed with diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, rectal or intestinal tumors, and severe anemia. Also, colon hydrotherapy is not administered if you are diagnosed with aneurysm, congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, cirrhosis and colon cancer.

24-48 hours before your appointment we recommend eating as light as possible. Only consume fruits, veggies, soup broths, light salad, smoothies and lots of water.

Be sure to avoid dairy, meat, bread, rice, pasta and any other hard to digest food. The least amount of solid food you consume is best. Just be sure to drink plenty of water when preparing.

Refrain from eating solid food at least two hours before the appointment. Getting colonics on a full stomach may cause you to feel nausea, experience cramping or possible vomiting. 

Dress comfortably, a two piece-outfit is ideal, and bring socks with you.

Drink plenty of liquids, such as electrolytes, herbal teas and pure water.

Pro-biotic rich foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha (supplements) are highly recommended

Avoid eating raw vegetables. Eat the veggies cooked or steamed.

Reduce meat consumption

While every body is different, colon hydrotherapy is most effective when done as a series. A series of 12 sessions is often recommended to achieve a full cleanse of the entire colon.

We typically suggest:

First week: 2 sessions back-to-back

Second week: 2 sessions back-to-back

Then: 1 session per week for the next 8 weeks

Starting with two back-to-back sessions helps your body adjust to the process. The first session often begins the cleanse, while the second allows for a deeper release once your body is more relaxed and familiar with the process.

Many clients continue with monthly sessions as part of their ongoing wellness and maintenance routine.

Every individual is unique and your needs may vary, and we’re happy to help you create a personalized plan

Back to back sessions are completed one day after the other. example: 1 session Monday, 2nd session Tuesday

It is possible that the full length of the colon or large intestine be cleansed with colon hydrotherapy. In order to achieve this depth of cleanse, many sessions will be required.

It is absolutely safe to have a colonic during your period. Your flow will not interfere with the success of the treatment. Clients report a decrease in cramping, which normally accompanies menstruation.

Colon hydrotherapy during pregnancy may be possible under certain circumstances. It is considered on a case-by-case basis and should always be discussed in advance. Please call to speak with a certified colon hydrotherapist to determine if it’s appropriate for you.

The average person, who is at “normal” weight for their height and age, might have 10 to 25 pounds of dried fecal matter in their colon. Cleaning out the dried fecal matter in your colon will show on the scale.

An impacted colon may cause some discomfort and cramping. This is no different than the cramping one feels when experiencing severe diarrhea. This generally occurs as the colon contracts to expel waste due to impaction. Once the major impaction is removed, many people report relief of problems. Their vitality and energy levels are restored, and they report the sessions to be relaxing, pleasant and effective.

Unfortunately, colon hydrotherapy is not covered by insurance at this time. However, we do accept HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards for payment, which many clients find to be a convenient option for using pre-tax health funds.

If you're unsure whether your HSA or FSA provider allows this service, we recommend checking with them in advance.
