In our modern age, our body’s inherent elimination systems are overloaded and stressed. Rising pollution levels, unnatural diets, and hectic lifestyles are the cause. This is even true for those who attempt to live healthy!

Inflammation, constipation and digestive issues are widespread ailments. The colon is the primary gateway of detoxification and, when it doesn’t release once/meal/day, then secondary diseases develop.

Gravity Colon Hydrotherapy is one of the most effective ways to:
1. retrain the colon to eliminate on its own;
2. release the body of toxic caecum waste and
3. jumpstart a deeper process of cleansing, leading to greater levels of vitality.

The Woods Gravity Method is the original method of Colon Hydrotherapy, is a natural approach using gravity (instead of machines) to clean the colon through a continuous, gentle flow of body-temperature water. Unlike forceful machine methods, it is a restorative manual therapy that allows for feedback and dialogue, between the client, your body and the therapist.

The objectives of Gravity Colon Hydrotherapy are:

• eliminating waste matter;
• retraining and toning of the musculature of the colon, which is responsible for proper elimination (ideally 3 times a day);
• complete detoxification of body, liver and blood through reaching the blind end of the bowel over a series of sessions.

A full Wood’s Method series consists of 15 sessions, over a period of three months, once in a lifetime. To maintain optimal functioning afterwards, this can be followed up by one or two sessions every 6 to 12 months.

To begin to understand the benefits of Wood’s Gravity Method, a minimum of three sessions is recommended. The duration of each session is one hour.

Procedure

• During the session, you’ll rest on your back on a massage table. A tank of body-temperature water sits elevated above the treatment table, utilizing gravity for the flow of water.

• A medically sterilized, small stainless-steel instrument is lubricated and gently inserted into the rectum with the client’s guidance. The water then simultaneously enters and exits the body gently bathing the colon, as the therapist supports the release through abdominal massage. Your genitals are covered with a clean towel at all times.

• Gravity Method functions as a “closed system,” which means elimination exits through a closed tube; there is no smell and no wetness.

Is this treatment right for me?

Whereas this definitely helps people from chronic illness, this special form of colonics is intended for those, who already feel healthy and aspire to embody even greater health, vitality and aliveness.

People struggling with acne, indigestion, constipation, skin issues, toxicity diseases, excess weight, fatigue, sluggishness, bad breath, and more will find relief through colonics.

Contra-indications: pregnancy or breastfeeding women, active/bleeding haemorrhoids, severe acute or chronic illness, organ failure, abdominal surgery within the past 6 months or serious mental instability (including active eating disorders).

RECOMMENDATIONS

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

To benefit most from Wood’s Method Colon Hydrotherapy:

• Be well hydrated – drink more than usual (at least 3 litres/day) 5 days before and on the day of the treatment.
• Eat light. Choose light and hydrated food in the previous days.
• Avoid gas-forming food or wrong food combinations (fruit alone and starches and proteins separate).
• Absolutely no alcohol within 48 hours of your session.
• You may skip a meal before or at least refrain from eating in the two hours prior to your appointment; you’ll intuitively want to eat lightly and healthy afterwards.
• If possible, have a bowel movement before your session to allow better flow of water through the gravity-method process.
• If you are heavily constipated, you can self-administer a simple water enema the morning before your session.

It’s normal to feel nervous before your first session. Once you accept the idea on eliminating with someone else present, you’ll feel like you’re taking a nice warm bath and can deeply relax.

AFTER YOUR SESSION

What should I expect over the next few days?

To feel clear, clean, empty and light!

Your experience will not prevent you from doing any exercise, driving, and eating; general living can continue as normal!

Depending upon your level of hydration and the inherent strength of your colon, you may or may not have a bowel movement the following morning. If affected, your bowels will return to normal after one or two days.

Humans are designed to eliminate ideally once per meal. That’s three times a day, if you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner! If you don’t eliminate yesterday’s lunch after eating today’s lunch, then your system is likely backed up. Data shows this is true for 90% of people. Through a series of colonics, you’ll become more aware of your real transit time: the time it takes from when you eat till you eliminate. — and if it’s more than 24 hours, then that’s why you’re taking colonic sessions to improve it!

Are there any special dietary restrictions I should follow?

As a general rule, a day before and after your session, it is recommended to avoid: meat, dairy, sugar, fried foods, carbonated drinks, caffeine, processed foods and wheat products, due to the inflammatory and toxifying effect they have on the body.

However, the only hard line rule is not to drink alcohol within 48 hours of your session!

How many sessions do I need?

Colonics are best practised in a series, but one is better than none!

When fasting or cleansing, we recommend a series. Once the body starts releasing, it transports deeper toxins from different cells and organs and dumps them again into the colon. This is why multiple sessions are highly recommended for maximum benefit!
