The large intestine or bowel which is known as Colon, is responsible for the final stages of the digestion process of the body, ie. absorption of water and soluble nutrients as well as expelling waste by products from the system. During this process, specially with modern diets rich in processed and fatty foods, lower in fresh vegetables and dietary fiber, waste can build up on the wall of the Colon reducing its effectiveness. Colon cleansing which is a safe, clean and pleasant procedure can remove this build up, allowing it to function more effectively. Colon cleansing also could contribute to regular bowel movements which is an important factor in promoting good health and wellbeing.



According to records, Colon cleansing dates back to 1500 BC. It became a popular treatment in the Victorian era and was recommended as being of benefit for sufferers for a wide range of disorders resulting from autointoxication.



Today, there are three types of modern colon cleansing kit apparatus available in the market – Gravity, Open & Closed. These are being used as an alternative to the unpleasant, less effective purgatives & laxatives used for Colon cleansing in the past. The Alternative Angels, the British School of Colon Hydrotherapy and their specialised Therapists pride themselves in being the only school who are fully qualified and trained (which enables you) to use the three types.


These methods of colon cleansing has been shown in the present days, to be beneficial to sufferers of constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, flatulence and bloating, as well as skin problems, headaches, fatigue and many other health problems.



Colonic Irrigation is currently "trendy" since it became part of the "rich and famous" health and beauty routine. The treatment is being featured on Gillian McKeith's "You are What You Eat" TV Programme and in her book of the same title.
