A colonic is the flushing of accumulated waste and toxins out of the colon. Filtered, temperature-regulated water is introduced into the large intestine where waste is hydrated and eliminated using the body's own natural peristalsis. Only gravity is used for the flow of water and a natural bowel movement occurs for the removal of waste. The entire session is contained in a closed circuit system and will take place lying on a table in a relaxing position.
The session will last about 45 minutes with time for getting dressed and using the restroom afterwards. One hour total!
It is recommended to prep. Adding green juices and abstaining from processed foods, dairy, animal protein and complex carbs (wheat, grains, oats, potato, etc) in the few days prior will allow for a productive session. This will greatly effect your results and comfort level.
This is predominantly eating vegan if possible. Fruits and veggies and juice, soups or smoothies. Eat more cooked veggies if you notice it’s too detoxifying.
Please stay away from sparkling beverages as well. Even sparkling water!
A juice cleanse or fasting for an extended period of time is not necessary, and shouldn't be done by those who are not used to fasting or juicing. Juice cleansing is powerful for those who can handle it in the days leading up to the colonic. Use your judgement!
On the day of the colonic it is best to have a liquid diet (fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies) Fresh fruit will work for those who are not used to skipping breakfast. Stop eating and drinking fluids one to two hours prior.
Hydrate with water in the days leading up to the session.
What are the benefits of a colonic? Removing unnecessary waste from the colon allows the body to eliminate more efficiently. The intestines will move more freely, allowing for better absorption of nutrients as accumulated waste is removed from the intestinal walls.
Not only is the main pathway of elimination cleared, the rest of the body is now signaled to release what is no longer needed in the tissues and on a cellular level. The entire body can shift into greater health and vibrancy from removing blockages and waste matter from the colon. It can reduce the amount of fermented material, reducing gas pressure and bloat as well.
You can expect an overall increase of energy, vibrancy, and mood. The gut is the "second brain" and its state of health is directly related to how much serotonin we produce as well as many other functions we are dependent on for brain health, hormone health, and optimal function of the entire body as a whole.
Why is the Woods Gravity Method different from other methods? I've worked with six different brands of colonic devices. Open system and closed system. The most effective system I have worked with is The Woods Gravity Method and it's a closed system. This is why I chose to use it in my practice.
The Woods Method is unique in the way that it uses only gravity for the flow of water into the colon. There's no electronics, motors, pumps or suction moving the water. Natural bowel movements occur to release waste.
Using this method allows for an incredible elimination of gas pressure, whereas most other systems aren't set up for that process, leaving the body full of gas and waste. By removing gas pressure, the colon can move more efficiently creating less discomfort and a more complete colonic.
Clients usually maintain Woods Method loyalty after feeling the difference. What a gift!
