Sodium bicarbonate colonic irrigation in London

Our sodium bicarbonate colonic irrigation in London combines closed-system, gravity-fed colon hydrotherapy with a sodium bicarbonate solution. At Parkland Natural Health in Holborn, Central London, your appointment also includes a personal consultation and suitability screening.

Some clients choose this option because they are interested in digestive wellbeing, the gut microbiome or Candida. Others simply want to add sodium bicarbonate to their colonic irrigation session.

People sometimes call this treatment an “alkalising colonic” because sodium bicarbonate creates a mildly alkaline solution. In this case, the term describes the solution we use during the session. It does not mean that the treatment changes the overall pH of the body.

What does this appointment include?

  • Personal consultation – we discuss your bowel habits, digestive comfort and reasons for choosing this treatment.
  • Suitability screening – we check whether colonic irrigation is suitable for you.
  • Closed-system colonic irrigation – we use our gravity-fed system with warm filtered water.
  • Sodium bicarbonate solution – your therapist can add this during the session where suitable.
  • Gentle abdominal massage – your therapist may use this to support comfort and release.
  • Individual approach – your therapist adjusts the water flow, filling and release according to your comfort and feedback.

Why are people interested in Candida and the gut microbiome?

Candida is a type of yeast that can live in and on the human body. The NHS explains that Candida is normally harmless. However, changes in the balance of bacteria can allow it to grow more easily. The NHS also lists antibiotics as one factor that can affect this balance.

Health source: NHS – Thrush in people.

Researchers also study how antibiotics affect bacteria and fungi in the gut. One human study followed healthy adults before and after a short course of antibiotics. The researchers found changes in gut fungi and an increase in fungal load after antibiotic use.

Scientific source: PubMed PMID 36448778 – antibiotic exposure and human gut mycobiota.

Scientists continue to study intestinal fungal overgrowth and species such as Candida albicans. However, this is still a developing area of research, and doctors do not yet use one standard method to diagnose intestinal fungal overgrowth.

Scientific source: PubMed – Clinical Significance of Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth.

Sodium bicarbonate and Candida: what does research show?

Researchers have studied sodium bicarbonate because laboratory tests show activity against some yeasts and fungi.

In one study, researchers tested sodium bicarbonate against 70 fungal strains. At 10 g/L, it stopped the growth of 80% of the fungal isolates tested. The researchers reported an MIC90 of 5 g/L for yeasts. They also tested infected clinical specimens outside the body. Under those test conditions, sodium bicarbonate completely stopped fungal growth in 79% of the specimens.

Scientific source: Letscher-Bru et al. – Antifungal activity of sodium bicarbonate against fungal agents causing superficial infections, PMID 22991095.

A second laboratory study tested sodium bicarbonate and other compounds against Candida albicans, Candida guilliermondii and Candida lusitaniae. The researchers found that sodium bicarbonate at its minimal inhibitory concentration caused necrosis of Candida cells under the conditions they tested.

Scientific source: PubMed PMID 24752490 – activity against Candida species.

A separate study examined Candida albicans on acrylic resin. The researchers found that 5% sodium bicarbonate reduced the number of Candida colonies compared with the control.

Scientific source: de Sousa et al. – Effect of sodium bicarbonate on Candida albicans adherence, PMID 20027444.

What do these studies mean for this treatment?

These studies explain why sodium bicarbonate attracts interest in relation to Candida. However, researchers carried out these studies in laboratories, on dental materials or on samples outside the body. They did not test sodium bicarbonate colonic irrigation as a treatment for intestinal candidiasis.

Therefore, Parkland Natural Health offers sodium bicarbonate as an enhanced colonic irrigation option. We do not present it as a cure for Candida or as a replacement for medical diagnosis or antifungal treatment.

Who may consider a sodium bicarbonate colonic?

This appointment may appeal to clients who:

  • want an alternative to a standard filtered-water colonic;
  • are interested in research on sodium bicarbonate and Candida;
  • want to explore different options for digestive wellbeing;
  • have become more interested in gut health after antibiotics, travel or dietary changes;
  • have already tried a standard colonic and want a different option.

If you are interested in digestive wellbeing after antibiotics and would also like probiotics, you may prefer our Probiotic Implant & Sodium Bicarbonate Colonic Irrigation. That appointment combines sodium bicarbonate with a multi-strain probiotic implant.

What happens during the session?

First, your therapist discusses your general health, bowel habits and reasons for choosing the treatment. We also check your suitability before we start.

During the session, your therapist introduces warm filtered water through our closed-system, gravity-fed setup. Your therapist controls the filling and release according to your comfort and feedback. Where suitable, we also add the sodium bicarbonate solution. Your therapist may use gentle abdominal massage during the session.

Your therapist stays with you and guides the procedure throughout the appointment.

How is this different from a standard colonic?

Our standard colonic irrigation session uses warm filtered water and suits many first-time clients.

This appointment adds sodium bicarbonate for clients who specifically want this enhanced option. If you also want probiotics, you can choose our probiotic and sodium bicarbonate colonic.

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 enough before your appointment.

Suitability and comfort

Before treatment, your therapist reviews your health history and checks whether colon hydrotherapy is suitable for you. If we decide that you should not have the procedure, we will not continue and we will give you a full refund.

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

  1. Eleanor Acquah –

    Mila was lovely and very professional.
    I would definitely return again. It was very clean and easy to find

  2. sy yong –

    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。

  3. Faye Alderson (verified owner) –

    My colonic treatment kept me relaxed.

  4. 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.

  5. Paul Tame –

    A professional team of practitioners who always give great effective treatments. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  6. Jess Earle –

    Brilliant service, felt instantly at ease. Exceptionally professional and gained nutritional and lifestyle advice throughout. Would recommend to anyone. Most comfortable and enjoyable colonic I’ve experienced. 5 stars!

  7. Carol hill –

  8. cristina alexe –

    always a great experience. Anatoli is professional and very experienced

  9. Johanna –

    Went twice in 2 weeks! Great professional service in calm environment. After trying bicarbonate of soda colonics I felt so clear inside and literally all my food cravings disaappeared! Really amazed by this treatment and would recommend to everyone

  10. Jean –

    Thank you Anatoli. Today’s treatment was very successful. Thank you for your kind, respectful and professional help.

  11. 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.

  12. 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!

  13. 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.

  14. 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!

  15. Jacqueline R. –

    I had three sessions of the Colonic with sodium bicarbonate. Mainly to help with my persistent constipation and to rid my colon of parasites. By the third session I am happy to say that I feel so much better. My bowel movements have very much improved. I feel a lot more energetic also. I will be revisiting in a few months times. Thank you Anatoli and team!! Thank you.*

  16. 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*

  17. 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. *

  18. 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.*

  19. 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*

  20. Irina Gavrilova –

    Very thorough and professional service. Tony was knowledgeable and also suggested ways in which I could improve my diet which was helpful *

  21. 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! *

  22. 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.*
