Experience the Health Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy at Clarity Colonics
Colon hydrotherapy is an FDA approved method of removing waste from the large intestine without the use of drugs. During a session warm, filtered water is gently introduced into the colon. As a result waste is hydrated and softened ultimately encouraging the body’s natural evacuation via peristalsis. This process is repeated a number of times during the session.
For most people, the removal of waste during a colonic encourages natural elimination and better colon function overall.
Dehydrated stool can become impacted, or stuck, in your colon, blocking waste from leaving the body. This often causes pain and bloating that could be relieved with as little as one session.
Colon hydrotherapy naturally helps your gut eliminate built up waste, supports issues of occasional constipation and may encourage a sluggish bowel.

Detoxification support is an important part of a proper cleansing protocol. Herx (detox) reactions are common when cleansing (juice fasting, parasite eradication, healthy diet changes), and are a sign that drainage pathways are clogged. A colonic gets excess toxins out of the body and you feeling better fast!
Everyone can benefit from gut health support
The road to restoration is not an independent endeavour. Our health is intricately connected to the health of our planet. As the chemicals from industrialization have built up in the air, soil, and water the bioaccumulation of toxins in our bodies has followed suit. It is estimated that the average person consumes approximately 5 grams of plastic particles per week, equating to roughly the weight of a credit card. Never mind the cumulative effects of food additives, pharmaceuticals, viral infections, and day-to-day stress. While our detoxification pathways were once adequate in eliminating harmful substances from our bodies these pathways are now burdened by the constant influx of toxins and are in desperate need of support.
When the body is taxed there is less energy for cellular repair, inflammation cleanup, and digestion along with many other processes necessary for optimal functioning.
In an ideal world you would be having as many well-formed bowel movements as meals consumed per day. Unfortunately, this isn’t the norm as so many modern day factors can influence this rate. Colon hydrotherapy offers a natural and safe way to support your system during periods of less than optimal functioning.
As scientific data continues to stack up the importance of gut health and functioning detoxification pathways are no longer limited to the minds of complimentary and alternative medicine practitioners. The secret is out: gut and microbiome health is intrinsically connected to the wellbeing of the mind, body, and spirit.
“As long as we continue to assume that the colon will take care of itself, just that long will we remain in complete ignorance of perhaps the most important source of ill health in the whole body.”
-James A. Wiltsie, M.D.
Colonics are not a new age revelation.
Colon hydrotherapy is far from a modern wellness trend. Practices for cleansing the bowels have been documented for thousands of years across many cultures.
One of the earliest known references to the enema appears in the Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical text dating to approximately 1550 B.C. Throughout history, bowel cleansing has been used for therapeutic and preventative purposes in civilizations including Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, and China.
As technology advanced, simple enemas gradually evolved into modern colon hydrotherapy equipment. One of its best-known advocates was Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, who wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1917 that, among more than 40,000 patients treated for gastrointestinal disorders, only a small number required surgery, while the majority were managed through bowel cleansing, dietary changes, and exercise.
Colon hydrotherapy reached its height of popularity in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles became so well known for its concentration of practitioners that it earned the nickname "Colonic Row."
Beginning in the 1960s, healthcare increasingly shifted toward pharmaceutical approaches for digestive complaints. As laxatives became widely available and heavily marketed, many people chose medications over practitioner-administered therapies such as colon hydrotherapy. While it became less common in mainstream healthcare, colon hydrotherapy never disappeared and continues to be practiced around the world by those seeking a non-pharmaceutical approach to supporting healthy digestion and elimination.
At Clarity Colonics, we honor this long history while combining modern equipment, strict sanitation standards, and a gentle, client-centered approach to provide a safe and supportive experience.
