Why have a colon hydrology test?
Are you bloated? Do you suffer from stomach bloating or constipation? Does your digestive system feel sluggish?
Do you have skin problems such as acne?
Stress, unhealthy eating habits and pollution all contribute to the clogging up of our colon... which then loses its efficiency.
As a result, it can be responsible for various disorders affecting the digestive, urinary, respiratory and nervous systems, as well as the skin.
Irrigation of the colon allows :
- eliminate waste, faeces, irritating residues, parasites and toxins
- return to optimal functioning
- regain muscle tone
- stimulate the immune system.
Colon hydrology at Clinique Naturelle with our specialized therapists Marie-Anne Geiser (ASCA) and Nathalie Favre Coutillet (ASCA).
What is colon hydrology?
A hygienic, preventive and investigative measure, hydrology is a gentle, painless and controlled method of cleansing the large intestine.
Dating back to ancient times, this practice now benefits from a technology that ensures perfect hygiene and great comfortfor the patient .
It is based on colonic irrigation, to detoxify the body and bring you real physical, energetic and mental well-being.
Complementary supplements as required (magnesium, coffee, probiotics, chlorophyll, colloidal silver, etc.).
Below, a diagram and video to illustrate this treatment.
Preparing a session
In the two days leading up to the appointment, we recommend eating light meals in particular:
- by eliminating animal proteins, dairy products and gluten (bread, wheat, cookies, pastries),
- by cutting back on raw vegetables and fruit for people who are bloated,
- by eating wholegrain cereals and cooked vegetables and fruit.
On the day of the appointment, we advise you to eat light.
We will send you a preparation protocol with your appointment confirmation e-mail.
How does a colon hydrology session work?
The patient lies comfortably on his or her back.
A single-use, decontaminated cannula is inserted into the rectum. The practitioner then performs successive "baths" of 0.5 to 3 liters, at preset stable temperatures and flow rates.
By massaging the abdomen, the practitioner :
- promotes abdominal relaxation, the loosening of residues and their elimination
- stimulates peristalsis
- allows the colon to regain its functions
- The patient sees the waste from his large intestine pass through a transparent tube. There's no smell, no discomfort. A session lasts around 45 minutes.
The frequency is adapted to the needs of each patient. Generally speaking, an initial cleaning requires 2 to 3 sessions at fairly frequent intervals. Thereafter, 1 to 2 annual maintenance sessions are recommended, as a hygienic and preventive measure.
The practical benefits of colonic irrigation
There are many direct and indirect benefits to colonic irrigation:
- Improved general condition
- A feeling of well-being and lightness
- Slimming of the waistline and possible weight loss
- Increased abdominal tone and peristalsis
- Reduces local inflammation
- Eliminating parasites
- Improved skin condition, blood circulation in lower limbs, kidney function...
- Better assimilation of nutrients
- Stimulation of natural immunity
- Transit regulation (constipation, bloating...)
A patient's opinion
"My experience with colon hydrology/hydrotherapy".
"I experienced an acute skin problem two years ago. Parts of my body were completely inflamed, and it felt like shards of bottle were scratching me. But that was just the tip of the iceberg: the good bacteria in my intestinal flora were down, and everything had to be rebuilt.
Two years later, the problem is solved, or rather, it's under control with a treatment that works. This dependence is not without repercussions, and you need to check your body's health on a regular basis, because when you treat like a horse, there are bound to be consequences for the balance of everything (white blood cells, liver, lungs).
I came up with the idea of colon hydrology as a way of setting the record straight and establishing a solid foundation for good health from now on. Taking care of your bowels, ridding them of the waste that has settled in, giving them a thorough cleansing, is in a way like looking after your partner in life!
Following the recommendations of professionals Marie-Anne and Nathalie, I had two sessions close together and then the last one after two months. I reacted fastest to the most recent one, as if this reactivated body had manifested itself from the moment I decided to take care of it.
It's not an easy thing to do. Apart from Le Malade Imaginaire, who makes us laugh with his obsession with clysters, we don't like to look at our bowel movements. We're not ready to start at the right end of the problem, i.e. why our digestive system is giving us a hard time, what it wants to tell us through its manifestations of discontent. When the insides come apart, there's definitely something wrong!
In fact, when you go to Clinique Naturelle for your session, you're going to our colon's beauty salon. Everything is beautiful, bright, feminine, cosy and smells surprisingly good. Nothing reminds us of an enema, and so much the better. What's more, and this is essential, Marie-Anne and Nathalie have the fingers of fairies, massaging us as our bellies fill with lukewarm water, helping our pipes to relax, release and recharge. Their vast medical experience gives us confidence, and their humanity and kindness envelop us like a cocoon...
What a discovery!
From now on, this treatment will be part of the maintenance of my little health capital. At nearly 60, better late than never!"
Le vide - In praise of purging
Faced with the saturation of work, responsibilities, stress, overconsumption of food, dʹalcohol and medication, and pollution, some people decide to treat themselves by "emptying the belly". At the Clinique naturelle in Geneva, Marie-Anne Geiser offers her patients colon hydrology, a kind of thorough enema. These therapies are fashionable, but are they recent? Behind the idea of a bodily emptying, isnʹt there the dream of a psychological and symbolic cleansing? Sociologist Francesco Panese, professor of social studies of science and medicine at the University of Lausanne, has long been interested in these practices.
