Sodium Bicarbonate Colonic Irrigation in London
Our sodium bicarbonate colonic irrigation in London combines therapist-led, closed-system colon hydrotherapy with a carefully prepared low-concentration sodium bicarbonate solution at Parkland Natural Health in Holborn.
We prepare the solution using filtered water and sodium bicarbonate in the correct proportions and use it throughout the entire procedure.
Some clients choose this treatment because they are concerned about Candida and have become interested in scientific research on sodium bicarbonate and yeast. Others choose it for a much simpler reason: after experiencing both types of colonics, they tell us they prefer the gentler, more comfortable feel of the bicarbonate option compared with a standard water-only session.
A recurring theme in feedback from Parkland clients is that after experiencing the bicarbonate option, some prefer to continue with it for future appointments.
Why Choose a Bicarbonate Colonic?
A standard colonic uses warm filtered water. This enhanced appointment instead uses a low-concentration sodium bicarbonate solution made with filtered water throughout the session.
Clients may choose it because they:
Concerned about Candida
Some clients specifically want a bicarbonate-based option because Candida is one of their main digestive-wellbeing concerns.
Interested in the Research
They may have already read about laboratory research on sodium bicarbonate and yeast.
Prefer the Treatment Experience
Some returning clients describe the bicarbonate session as softer, gentler and more comfortable.
Want an Enhanced Option
It offers an alternative for clients who have already tried a standard water-only colonic.
Concerned About Candida?
Many people who contact Parkland have already read about Candida, yeast imbalance and sodium bicarbonate before they arrive. Some specifically ask us for what they describe as an “anti-Candida colonic”.
At Parkland, we officially call the treatment Sodium Bicarbonate Colonic Irrigation. We use the phrase “anti-Candida” when discussing the reason some clients are interested in the treatment, rather than as a promise
that colon hydrotherapy cures candidiasis.
Candida is a yeast that can normally live in and on the human body. Interest in bicarbonate arises partly because sodium bicarbonate has demonstrated antifungal activity against Candida and other yeasts in laboratory research.
What Does the Research Say About Sodium Bicarbonate and Candida?
Laboratory Research Into Fungal Growth
One laboratory and ex vivo study investigated sodium bicarbonate against yeasts, dermatophytes and moulds. The researchers found antifungal activity at the concentrations tested, including inhibition of yeast growth.
Scientific source:
Letscher-Bru et al. – Antifungal activity of sodium bicarbonate against fungal agents causing superficial infections, PMID 22991095
.
Research Involving Candida Species
Another laboratory study tested sodium bicarbonate against several Candida species and found that, at its minimal inhibitory concentration, it caused necrosis of Candida cells under the experimental conditions used.
Scientific source:
PubMed PMID 24752490 – laboratory activity involving Candida species.
What this means: these studies provide a scientific reason why sodium bicarbonate attracts interest regarding Candida. However, they are laboratory studies and do not establish that a sodium bicarbonate colonic treats or cures intestinal candidiasis.
Why Do Some Clients Prefer the Feel of Bicarbonate?
Scientific research into Candida is only one reason clients choose this option.
In feedback at Parkland, some clients who have experienced both standard and bicarbonate colonics describe the bicarbonate session as gentler, softer and more comfortable.
As a result, some returning clients specifically request sodium bicarbonate when booking their next colonic.
This is a client-reported experience, not a claim that bicarbonate has been clinically proven to prevent irritation or bowel spasm. Individual experience can differ.
What Is Included in Your Appointment?
We discuss your bowel habits, digestive comfort, previous experience and why you are
choosing the bicarbonate option.
We check that colon hydrotherapy is suitable for you before treatment begins.

Used where appropriate to support comfort and release.
We adjust filling and release based on your comfort and response.
What Happens During the Bicarbonate Colonic?
Consultation
Your appointment begins with consultation and suitability screening.
Prepare Privately
You change privately and settle comfortably onto the treatment bed.
Bicarbonate Solution
A low-concentration sodium bicarbonate solution prepared with filtered water is used
throughout the entire procedure.
Therapist-Led Session
Your therapist stays with you and personally controls filling and release according
to your comfort and response.
We may also use gentle abdominal massage where appropriate. A typical appointment lasts around one hour, including consultation, preparation and treatment time.
How Is This Different From a Standard Colonic?
Standard Water Colonic
Our standard colonic irrigation session uses warm, filtered water with no additional preparation.
Bicarbonate Colonic
This appointment uses a low-concentration sodium bicarbonate solution made with filtered water throughout the entire colon hydrotherapy session.
If you also want a probiotic component, you can consider our Probiotic Implant & Sodium Bicarbonate Colonic Irrigation.
Is This the Same as an “Alkalising Colonic”?
This treatment has historically been called an alkalising colonic because sodium bicarbonate forms an alkaline solution.
Here, “alkalising” describes the solution used during the colonic. It does not mean the procedure changes your body’s overall pH.
How Should I Prepare?
There is no need to fast. You can eat normally before your appointment, preferably choosing solid food.
You normally do not need laxatives, enemas or other special preparation unless the clinic has specifically advised you otherwise.
Suitability and Comfort
We check your comfort and suitability before treatment, and your therapist stays with you throughout the session.
If screening identifies a contraindication and we can’t proceed with treatment, we provide a full refund.
You can read our colonic irrigation suitability and contraindications before booking.

以前聽過自己老家香港都有提及洗腸(灌腸), 大部分人都不認識甚至 害怕不敢, 我覺得這個翻譯不太恰當, 我覺得應該是叫做潤腸Dehydration 滋潤條腸道把不必要的細菌,久留的宿便排放出來。
後來知道日本醫生們有寫這類題目的書籍關於洗腸對免疫系統的重要性以及推薦這方面的保養。
據知美國也推薦洗腸。我患上大腸癌之後認識不少腸道的知識,原來我們的腸道微生態是非常重要影響著我們的情緒,免疫系統,睡眠及好多種疾病出現,所以我選擇不做化療從飲食改變開始以及選擇這裏洗腸達到身體自癒的效果
現在我腸道排便相當不錯
體重輕了,情緒穩定,多謝這位Anatoli給我好多知識,有問必答
我會繼續來這裏保養道健康。

My colonic treatment kept me relaxed.
Ramon (verified owner) –
This was my first time having colonic hydrotherapy. I felt quite nervous to start with, but Anatoli was very welcoming, professional and had me feeling at ease in no time. The treatment itself felt comfortable and afterwards I definitely felt light, clean and well flushed. I did feel a little sensitive for a couple of days afterwards, but that was to be expected considering the nature of the treatment. I would definitely like to go for a couple more treatments, especially as I would like to do a liver flush, and its advisable to have a clean colon beforehand.
Paul Tame –
A professional team of practitioners who always give great effective treatments. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Thank you Anatoli. Today’s treatment was very successful. Thank you for your kind, respectful and professional help.
Mehdi Souihed –
I had an anti-candida colonics and the effects. Chronique fatigue, gas, itchiness and cravings disappeared. My complexion is a lot brighter too. I recommend it.
Mary –
THE BEST IN LONDON! This was by far the best place I have been for a colonic over the number of years I have had them for health reasons. Both practitioners were so so knowledgeable and so helpful. Annoyingly I had booked a second one at a totally different clinic to see the difference and I cant tell you the bad experience I had. So for my third I came straight back here. Easy booking. Easy to get to and the most lovely down to earth people. I felt safe, respected and cared for which was so important after the experience elsewhere. DONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!
Ashley Philips –
The treatment I received from Anthony was very comfortable and throughout I was very much at ease. I am happy to say I will return and book further treatments. Overall the last treatment proved successful.
Susie Woffenden –
I felt very comfortable during the treatment and my practitioner helped to get the best result with manipulation. I was thrilled with the results and have booked for a second foliow up treatment, thank you!

Reena Patel –
I’ve always experienced an above and beyond service from Anthony at parkland. Not only I am well informed on the treatments but he also gives extra additional pre and post advice to help maintain good on going health. The service you get is not just the standard treatment it’s soo soo much more and he is always ready to help with other related issues .The treatments are always on time well conducted and I always leave refreshed positive and recharged
Thank you Anthony for making the difference*
Craig Dixon –
I found the experience reassuring and professional. The office is located close to Holborn station. He was patient and was willing to answer all my questions throughout the session. I left feeling much lighter after having a great flush out! Though for me personally, it did not help with my bloating issue which is related to small intestinal bloating, which of course is no reflection of the effectiveness of a large intestinal/bowel clean out with the colonic hydrotherapy itself. Highly recommended. *
David Edmund Brady –
I made initial contact with wellness-studio.co.uk because of chronic difficulty in making any bowel excavations. My difficulties were exasperated as a result of the medicines I was required to take following a heart operation. On my first visit Anatoli explained to me what my problem was, and what was going to be necessary to alleviate it. His explanation was simply, straight forward, and comforting. After two visits I began to improve, after only three the improvement was dramatic. A very professional service, by a very pleasant individual at a central London location. David Edmund Brady. Age 75.*
ken gordon –
Thank you Anatoli so much for your advice regarding health benefits from bicarbonate sodium in my recovery from the stroke. My digestive system improved, voice is clearer and generally I feel much stronger just after 10 days since I started taking it. Kind Regards. Ken Gordon*
Irina Gavrilova –
Very thorough and professional service. Tony was knowledgeable and also suggested ways in which I could improve my diet which was helpful *
Robbie Green –
Having had a number of treatments at the wellness centre I would highly recommend them. The location is perfect, prices very reasonable but most of all the treatment and staff are 10/10. I have always felt comfortable and the colonic hydrotherapy has been a huge help in helping me with my digestive system and bowel habits. I would not consider going anywhere else! *
Hell Kitty –
I have had 2 anti-candida colonics with the wellness centre and I believe that they have been an important stage in re-establishing healthy bowel habits. I would recommend the treatment as a good course of action for people with candida, the treatment itself was not-uncomfortable and it was performed in a friendly and professional environment.*
