Detoxification, or the process of removing the unneeded “bad stuff” from the body, is a key component to health and longevity.

Living in the modern world, we are exposed daily to a variety of chemicals and substances that are not beneficial to the body, and may be harmful.  Pesticides, chemicals and radiation can be found in air, water, food, personal care products, cleaning products and more. Home and work environments are air-tight and filled with wireless tvs, computers, cell phones, routers and smart meters. Technology changes so rapidly that we are not able to assess the long term effects of all this exposure to the human body.

However, there are many foods, herbs and drugs that are in the arsenal of a holistic patient and their doctor’s tool kit to help the body detoxify in a natural manner. Garlic is one of the most important! This ancient food has been used for years to increase longevity. Garlic has so many benefits that it truly ranks as one of the most important super-foods.

The practice of intestinal cleansing is not a new one, not by a long shot. Flushing away excess waste through enemas has been around since ancient times in Egypt. The practice of administering enemas was recorded in the medical document "Eber Papyrus" in 1500 B.C.

Scientists discovered in the 19th century that bacteria located in the colon could be cleansed and toxins could be eliminated from the body by creating a gravity-fed flushing system.

Detoxification or specifically removing toxins from your body is both tricky and a life-long project. We accumulate all types of toxins from many sources. Chemicals in our water, processed foods, personal care products, dental fillings, etc are accumulated throughout our lives. It can be very healthful to understand and have detoxification tools.

Colon hydrotherapy is a safe, effective natural way of cleansing the colon (also known as the large intestine) without the use of drugs. Colon hydrotherapy gently introduces filtered, temperature regulated water into the colon to loosen impacted fecal matter and other waste products from the body. This procedure is sometimes referred to as colonics or colon irrigation.
