Frequently Asked Questions

What is colon hydrotherapy?

Colon hydrotherapy (also called colonic irrigation) gently supports the colon’s natural elimination process using warm, filtered water. It is a clinical tool used to support digestion and regularity and is always performed by certified professionals.

Colon hydrotherapy uses a controlled, continuous flow and certified equipment, whereas an enema typically uses a limited volume of fluid. This allows for more thorough support of the entire colon.
The open system offers a more self-guided, intuitive experience with a smaller speculum and continuous monitoring by a technician. The closed system is therapist-guided, with the practitioner controlling water flow and pressure throughout the session. (More in our Colon Hydrotherapy page.)
We recommend increased water intake for a few days before your session and avoiding heavy meals 2–3 hours before. Increasing fruit, vegetables, and fiber can help the session be more effective. (Detailed prep is provided in your intake packet.)

Colon hydrotherapy is considered safe for most people when performed by certified practitioners using FDA-cleared medical devices and proper protocols.

At Refresh Your Soul, all sessions are provided by trained, certified professionals in a supportive and controlled environment. Certain medical conditions may be contraindications. If you have a medical condition or concerns, please consult your healthcare provider and contact our office prior to booking.
