| - Taking care of your body on the inside and the outside is very important. Getting a colonic on a regular basis is one way to help out your insides from flowing freely, which leads to other health benefits.
This was my first colonic at this location. I was still nervous, but I was soon relaxed when I went into the room. It was spacious, clean, well organized, and dark.
*Once I disrobed from the waist down and wrapped a towel around me, I laid down on the bed which has a toilet bowl type opening.
*The therapist gave me a glove, some lubricant, and I gently inserted the nozzle in my bottom. While calming music played, I went through the cleansing process.
*Hold as much water inside for as long as I can (20 seconds is my record) and then let the water out.
*The water goes down the tube, out the bowl, and down a clear plastic tube which helps you monitor what is coming out of your body. This may sound gross to want to see your own poo, but it's a good way to monitor how your bowels are doing. I saw a piece of corn and part of an almond. Interesting in my opinion.
*The therapist can stay with you and massage your belly and your feet to help you relax during the process, but I prefer to be by myself. Amazingly, there is NO smell at all, but I still would like to be alone.
*The process lasts about 30 minutes. There is a call button if you need assistance.
*Once my session was over, the tube was gently removed and the therapist washed my bottom area with a small shower head.
*Then I went into the bathroom and emptied the remaining water from my body. Don't rush in the bathroom- you want to be able to make the drive home without having an accident!
After paying, you are given a drink with electrolytes and veggie soup. I would suggest going home and relaxing for the next few hours after the procedure.
It may be a day of two until you need to go #2 again, don't be alarmed. Your bottom will be a little tender for the next day, but that is to be expected with all that came out.
I will return to this location the next time I cleanse which I am going to try and do every 3 or 4 months.
