Modern colon hydrotherapy equipment, allows individuals to overcome the shortcomings of traditional enema treatments, in the comfort of their own homes. Delivery systems and equipment can accurately measure and precisely deliver enough temperature-controlled water, to be therapeutically effective throughout virtually the entire length of the colon Colon hydrotherapy equipment can sustain a regulated and safe injection pressure to permit cleaning water to reach th extremities of the colon Water pressure under 3 psi gently expand the folds of the colon wall to release entrapped fecal matter. Multiple built-in safety features eliminate the possibility of over pressurizing the bowel. Cleansing water temperature is closely controlled with built in safety features eliminating harmful temperature variations. A self-administered, uniquely designed speculum is used to permit the pressure and temperature controlled cleansing water to be introduced into the colon in a controlled manner and sanitarily flushed into existing medical office or home plumbing sewage systems. Colon hydrotherapy can also be extremely helpful in restoring a healthy bacterial balance.. When properly administered, colon hydrotherapy flushes out harmful bacteria from the large intestine. Although healthy bacteria are also flushed out, the healthier colon environment greatly enhances the possibility for growth of friendly bacteria to restore and maintain a healthy bacterial balance.
