Anti-Spasmodic Herbal Colonic Irrigation

Anti-spasmodic herbal colonic irrigation in London

If bowel spasm, cramping or trapped gas tends to make colon hydrotherapy uncomfortable, this specialised herbal colonic irrigation in London offers an alternative to our standard filtered-water session.

The appointment combines closed-system, gravity-fed colonic irrigation with a professional herbal preparation formulated for use when bowel muscle spasm is evident. It includes a personal consultation and suitability screening at Parkland Natural Health in Holborn, Central London.

Some clients choose this option because they describe their bowel as sensitive, tense or prone to spasm. Others are particularly concerned about trapped gas or have previously found that bowel cramping made a colonic more difficult to tolerate.

What is included in this appointment?

• Personal consultation – discuss your bowel habits, digestive comfort and what you hope to achieve from the appointment.
• Suitability screening – we check that colonic irrigation and the herbal preparation are appropriate for you before proceeding.
• Closed-system colonic irrigation – carried out using our gravity-fed setup with warm filtered water.
• Anti-spasmodic herbal preparation – incorporated into this specialised appointment where appropriate.
• Gentle abdominal massage – used where appropriate during the session.
• Individual approach – water flow, filling and release are adjusted according to your comfort and feedback.

What is the anti-spasmodic herbal preparation?

We use ASP Enema Herbs, a professional liquid herbal extract supplied by Practitioner Supplies. The supplier describes the preparation as a 1:1 liquid extract containing herbs selected for their smooth-muscle-relaxant properties and recommends its use when bowel muscle spasm is evident. The supplier also notes that the preparation may help when gas is a concern.

Product source: Practitioner Supplies – ASP Enema Herbs.

Which herbs are used?

According to the current supplier formulation, ASP Enema Herbs contains:

• Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus)
• German Chamomile (Chamomilla recutita)
• Lobelia (Lobelia inflata)
• Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
• Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca)

This herbal preparation is the feature that distinguishes the appointment from our standard colonic irrigation session.

Why choose an anti-spasmodic herbal colonic?

Colon hydrotherapy involves controlled filling and release of warm filtered water. However, some people experience a bowel that feels particularly tense, sensitive or prone to cramping. Trapped gas can also make the abdomen feel uncomfortable during a session.

For this reason, some clients prefer an appointment that incorporates a herbal preparation specifically intended for use where bowel muscle spasm is evident.

This option may therefore appeal if your main concerns include:

• a tendency towards bowel spasm or cramping;
• trapped gas or abdominal pressure;
• a sensitive or easily irritated bowel;
• difficulty relaxing during previous colonic sessions;
• IBS-type symptoms where spasm or gas is a prominent concern.

If you have diagnosed IBS, recurring abdominal pain or persistent changes in bowel habits, these should continue to be managed appropriately with your GP or other healthcare professional. The herbal colonic is offered as a specialised colon hydrotherapy option rather than as a treatment for IBS itself.

What happens during the session?

First, your therapist will discuss your general health, bowel habits and any symptoms relevant to the appointment. This gives you an opportunity to explain whether cramping, sensitivity or trapped gas has been a particular concern for you.

During the procedure, warm filtered water is introduced into the colon using our closed-system, gravity-fed setup. Filling and release are carefully controlled, while your therapist works with your feedback throughout the session.

The herbal preparation is incorporated where appropriate, and gentle abdominal massage may also be used to support comfort and the natural release process.

Is this different from a standard colonic?

Yes. Our standard colonic irrigation appointment uses warm filtered water and is a good starting point for many first-time clients.

This appointment adds the ASP herbal preparation and is particularly intended for clients who want a more specialised approach where bowel spasm, cramping or gas is an important consideration.

If you would prefer a standard session without the herbal element, you can view our standard colonic irrigation session with consultation.

Important suitability information about the herbs

The supplier states that ASP Enema Herbs is not suitable during planned pregnancy, pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is also not suitable for children.

Your therapist will therefore review your suitability before using the herbal preparation. If screening shows that this appointment is not appropriate for you, we will not proceed and you will receive a full refund.

You can also review our colonic irrigation suitability, restrictions and contraindications before booking.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

You do not need to fast or follow a complicated cleansing programme before coming to the clinic.

A quick tip: don’t drink any liquids two hours before your procedure. Besides, do not take laxatives or drink coffee before and after treatment. However, you don’t need to fast before or after visiting us.

This simple preparation is usually sufficient before attending your appointment.
