Welcome…
Welcome to Colonic Hydrotherapy at the Eastbourne Therapy Clinic. Having over 17 years experience working for the NHS as a nurse and midwife, I qualified as a colonic Hydrotherapist in 2005 setting up my own clinic in Eastbourne. I focus on ensuring that clients feel relaxed and comfortable. Our clinic space is bright and modern but above all professional and confidential. We want you to feel at ease and in doing so ensure you gain the most benefit from your treatment. The human digestive system is about 20 feet long and converts food into the nutrition you need before eliminating the waste. This process can easily be disturbed causing many different digestive problems. The number of people suffering with bowel related problems has significantly increased in recent years.
Symptoms such as these are suffered on a daily basis:
- Constipation
- Bloating
- Cramps
- Lethargy
- Headaches
- Skin problems
- Candida
- Eczema
- Psoriasis
- Diarrhoea
- Food intolerance
- Allergies
By having colon hydrotherapy these symptoms can greatly reduce enabling you to lead a more comfortable life.
Frequently
Asked
Questions
1. What is involved in the treatment and is it safe?
Your treatment will be explained thoroughly and time and care taken to ensure your comfort throughout. You will receive a full consultation to ascertain how we can best achieve your aim and also to ensure the treatment is safe and suitable for you.
Colon Hydrotherapy or irrigation is a simple gentle procedure. During your treatment your modesty is preserved at all times and you are covered by a large soft towel. A small sterile disposable speculum is inserted just 2 inches into the rectum. Warm filtered water is introduced through this tube and will gently flow through your colon. Your therapist will use special abdominal massaging techniques to stimulate the release of stored waste. In turn, this waste will break down into the tube which is connected to a waste pipe so there is no smell or leakage. Following the treatment, a short visit to the bathroom helps remove any residual water and you are able to go about your daily business as normal. No pump is used therefore there is no risk of bowel perforation. Generally, the waste can be quite hard and lodged in the colon needing more than one treatment to sufficiently loosen it. The number of treatments required will vary from person to person depending on diet,lifestyle, chronic illness etc.
2. When is colon hydrotherapy not advised?
It is advised that client is suffering with the following conditions should not have treatments:

3. how long will it take and does it hurt?
The actual treatment on the couch takes 30 to 40 minutes but we always allow at least an hour for appointments, a little longer for first appointment.
A treatment should never be painful or cause severe discomfort. Very occasionally, if someone is very constipated or gassy there maybe some mild discomfort, this however will only last for a few seconds.
4. what should I do before a treatment?
In the days leading up to your treatment, increase your water intake to 1 1/2 to 2 litres. Reduce the amount of fruit and bread you eat. Increase your vegetable and fresh food intake. On the day, ensure you have had something to eat but ideally not during the hour before your treatment.
5. Will a colonic washout my good guy bacteria?
Some bacteria will be expelled during a treatment however removing old backlogged waste will create a healthier environment for good bacteria to multiply. Sometimes we will recommend good quality probiotics if we think it’s beneficial alongside healthy dietary advice.
