COLON HYDROTHERAPY at Aletris Center in Scottsdale, AZ
Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, is an alternative medical procedure focused on cleansing the bowel. With action similar to that of an enema, colon hydrotherapy involves the introduction of discrete amounts of purified water into the colon using medically approved, class II colon hydrotherapy devices with sanitary, disposable speculums. After a short period of time the fluid is released, taking with it the undesired material that has accumulated in the colon. This process may be repeated several times during the course of a treatment.
The practice of detoxification and bowel cleansing through colon hydrotherapy has been known since ancient times for treating sluggish bowels - which was correctly believed to have been the root of many diseases and illnesses. The first recorded reference to colon hydrotherapy dates back more than 3000 years to the Ebers papyrus, an Egyptian medical document. This document outlines bowel and colon cleansing procedures using various herbal preparation and water.
At ALETRIS, we belive that the health of the colon is a direct reflection of the overall wellness of the individual.
