Colonic irrigation is also known as Colonic hydrotherapy. It is a safe and painless procedure in which the accumulated faecal matter is gently released from the colon by introducing warm, filtered water. Special massage and therapy techniques also help to soften the deposits and cleanse the colon wall.



Colonic irrigation is a technique which has been employed thousands of years ago by the ancient Egyptians as an alternative to harsh and purgatives or laxatives for colon cleansing. Today, it remains popular for the very same reasons. In Yorkshire during the late Victorian days, this procedure gained popularity and “Harrogate System of Intestinal Lavage” became a common colon cleansing treatment on visits to the famous spa town.
