As you may know, medieval medicine prescribed cleansing of the digestive tract. This therapy had many indications, such as an upset stomach, constipation, skin problems, and fever. Monitored intestinal cleansing, also known as colonic hydrotherapy, is a way to rid the body of toxins and waste in modern times. Colonic hydrotherapy or bowel cleaning – purification of the digestive tract with specialised equipment that feeds water into the colon without excessive pressure.
Exclusively specialised clinics carry out this procedure. And, unlike an enema, a colonic does not require sitting on the toilet and does not cause severe discomfort.
Recommendation
A practitioner inserts a tube to supply water and wash out waste in the rectum while using a technique to reduce a patient’s discomfort. This technique also removes the colon’s contents without unpleasant odours or mess.
Forty litres of prepared water enter the digestive tract in small portions through the speculum. Sometimes, on a doctor’s recommendation, we can supplement the liquid with various medicinal solutions.

Bowel cleaning in London
Medications and holistic remedies for Bowel cleaning:
- Herbal decoctions and infusions. It is especially recommended in cases of mucous membrane irritation or intestinal damage. Solutions used for colonic irrigation have a sound antiseptic property and soothe the inner walls of the colon.
- A solution of sea salt, an alkaline solution of baking soda and others is ideal in cases of a large amount of impacted faecal matter and toxins on the walls of the colon, problems with digestion, the presence of persistent constipation or diarrhoea,
- Microflora implants. Their main benefit is normalising the colon flora. They are ideal after surgery and for gastrointestinal tract preparation before the examination. Doctors also prescribe them after taking antibiotics and other drugs that affect the body.
- Sorbents. Those kinds of sponges absorb harmful compounds and remove them from the body. Practitioners may use those to evacuate impacted faecal matter, toxins, and carcinogens during general detox.
Proper diet
According to the medical staff, monitored cleansing of the lower and upper intestine can solve many gastrointestinal tract problems, such as persistent constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory processes. Before doing therapeutic intestinal cleansing, it is essential to prepare carefully. The most important aspect is a proper diet.
It’s necessary to adjust your diet the day before cleaning your intestines. It’s best to choose fermented dairy products, such as those made from apples or oats. You can not have breakfast in the morning before the session. You can drink a glass of hot water, which will help dislodge mucus from your stomach and slightly dull the feeling of hunger. Bowel cleansing in our London clinic can help cleanse the body and restore your health.
