Colon Hydrotherapy Services in Alabama
What Is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy is the process of putting warm, filtered water into the colon to hydrate the large intestine and remove waste without chemicals or drugs. The hydration softens and loosens the waste so it can leave the body through a normal release process into a waste line.
The process is odorless and comfortable while maintaining your modesty. The cycle of water in and waste out is repeated several times during a relaxed and private session with an I-ACT certified therapist, who is there at all times to guide you.
You lie on a massage table, listen to music, and enjoy the scent of diffused essential oils. An internal spa day!
From Ancient to Modern
Cleansing the bowel is an ancient therapy, dating back some 5,000 years. Hippocrates, the famous Greek doctor and the “Father of Medicine,” in 400 B.C. left many writings referring to the various inventive ways of cleaning the intestines. Integrated Body Health brings the latest technology to the Opelika and Auburn areas.
At IBH, you will experience ancient traditions in a modern way with today’s technology and updated modalities. It is now comfortable, private, safe, and very effective so deep inside you can be cleaner. We have a passion for clients to become healthier through understanding that empowers you to become A Better You… Naturally.
This brought about four significant developments: Modern Process
Now the process includes a small disposable speculum, a water line and a waste line. All single client use! So, with this new breed of instrumentation, modern professional colon hydro-therapy was born and the benefits are being recognized by people all over the globe.
A slow gentle administration of warmed and filtered water into the bowel was effective and able to cleanse the entire length of the large intestine all the way to the cecum.
Because low amounts of water were being introduced, balances within the bowel were much less likely to be disrupted.
Water was now able to gently enter the bowel and “seep” into the “nooks and crannies” allowing the water to soften and loosen hardened fwater to soften and loosen hardened feces.
By changing the water temperature during the session, they could stimulate the bowel muscles, creating a toning effect that removed the risk of dependency often seen with enemas.
Why Do I Need Colon Hydrotherapy: Benefits
Our bodies have to deal with the Standard American Diet, inadequate hydration, GMOs, environmental toxins, work and relational stress, inadequate exercise, synthetic vitamins, prescription drugs, and contaminated water supplies. What a list!
Due to these stresses on our body, the colon can become sluggish with waste that can easily have toxic effects. To keep the colon cleansed, toned, and restored, it needs a little help!
A Fresh Start
Many clients report that colon hydrotherapy helps them start fresh on their new goals for eating better, exercising, weight loss, or detoxifying their body. They know it is not a quick fix but a valuable tool in combination with good eating and exercise habits.
A Healthier Colon
Everything we eat has to be taken into the body for nutrition or it has to be eliminated. When you hydrate the colon, the bowel eliminates waste and works more efficiently.
The source of many issues can be resolved by getting rid of the waste and allowing our food to be better absorbed. Being healthy means you can feel more energetic, restored, and alive.
Good Bacteria Thrive
How can good bacteria thrive in the colon when waste is stuck on the colon wall? When gut bacteria are out of balance, not only are your digestion and sense of well-being compromised, but so is your immune system that defends the body against sickness.
With a clean colon, friendly bacteria can live and multiply so that disease-causing bacteria are kept in check. We also recommend specific probiotics that are individualized for you. In addition, we have a gentle, plant-based colon movement product that is the most important supplement to take in order to retrain the bowel to move every day.
Prevent Toxin Build Up
Stagnation is prevented so that harmful agents and end products of digestion can be moved out of the body along with gas, toxic compounds, impurities, mucus, and waste. The goal is a healthy and clean colon, which should improve overall health and increase energy levels by getting rid of toxins.
The organs outside of the large intestine that help us eliminate toxins are the liver, lungs, and kidneys. When colon hydrotherapy flushes out toxins along with the waste in the bowel, the body detoxifies more quickly than the organs would do alone.
When the colon is stagnant, the body stores these toxins, as they are not being released through regular bowel movements.
Absorbing Nutrients
The bacteria in the cecum (the first part of the colon by the small intestine) are responsible for the synthesis of vitamin K, most of the B vitamins, and others as documented in research articles. The water-soluble vitamins are absorbed by the colon.
Since our body directly absorbs nutrients and vitamins in the colon, it is important to keep the colon clean so all these life-supporting processes can take place. If you spend money on whole food vitamins, you definitely don’t want to prevent their absorption with a stagnant colon.
What to Expect and Preparing for Your Visit
Before Your First Visit
You can print and fill out the Client Questionnaire. Pay attention to your body as you prepare to fill out the form, as there might be some questions you have never thought of. Do not take any chemical or OTC laxatives to get a “head start” as this will dehydrate your body.
Not required, but if you want to start the cleansing process you could eat only fish, seafood, vegetables and fruits for twenty-four hours before your appointment. That means no bread, dairy, cheese or grains. This will help your colon start to move and cleanse before you even get here. Note any questions or concerns you might have concerning your therapy. The more we communicate about your personal health goals, the better I can personalize things to guide you.
Day of Your Appointment
The following are suggestions to help you have the most comfortable and relaxing experience with colon hydrotherapy.
Bring your completed Client Questionnaire, any written down questions and a list of current medications with you.
When you wake up the day of the appointment, drink a full glass of water with a little lemon because it will wake up your colon. Remember, veggies and fish and not heavy foods. Please hydrate with spring water but stop drinking one hour before your visit. So, stop eating 2 hours before and stop drinking 1 hour before your appointment.
Heading back to work or home is fine. Most people feel great and have extra energy, but some people feel a little tired due to getting rid of toxins. So, hopefully you won’t have to rush to and from your visit, by planning ahead. This could be a spa day for you and your internal organs.

When you make an appointment, please understand that time has been reserved for you because you will have held it with your credit card number.
