Bowel preparation for a colonoscopy can be tedious. You’re forced to drink all kinds of different fluids to cleanse your colon, which can leave you feeling pretty bloated and uneasy. Blood pressure can drop and, worst of all, you have to make sprints for the bathroom. Fortunately, there is another option.

Colon hydrotherapy is often used as an alternative to other colonoscopy preparation. It can even be used as a method of cleansing before bowel surgery.

Why colonic irrigation is a good alternative

A colonic can perform the same function that other bowel prep therapies do, but it can do it without all of the discomfort. Most importantly, it’s better at cleansing the colon. In fact, a lot of doctors recommend colonic irrigation as preparation for certain medical procedures. Cleansing through this method can not only prep you for your procedure, it can get rid of toxins and bad intestinal bacteria that may cause disease. Instead of feeling bloated and heavy, like you would with other prep methods, you’ll get a boost of energy.

The cleanse

At our Santa Monica colonic clinics, we use a flow of warm, sterilized and filtered water to cleanse the colon. It is gently instilled to provide you with comfort during the procedure. You’ll be fully covered during the session, and massage and acupressure points are utilized to release more waste.

The cleanse activities your body’s natural peristalsis, which another reason it’s great for colonoscopy preparation.
