Gidrokolonoterapiya - purification procedure, which is carried out in a medical institution by irrigation of the large intestine with a large amount of fluid and has a beneficial effect on the body (especially the small intestine, kidneys, liver).

The first mention of such a purge is found in the ancient Egyptians, who used hollow reeds as an analog of modern instruments. In the 20 years of the last century in the United States appeared apparatus for the treatment of chronic constipation, skin diseases and getting rid of flatulence. The prototypes of modern instruments were quite primitive, but, despite this, they gained popularity thanks to the excellent therapeutic effect.

The development of pharmacology in the 50 years, in particular laxatives and antibiotics, has reduced the demand for a purification procedure. However, the drugs had a number of side effects, often causing addiction, and were not suitable for patients with prolonged digestive disorders.

After a period of oblivion, hydrocolonotherapy in the 80s returned its admirers. The last 15 years the method of washing the parts of the large intestine has become popular in Ukraine. The technique allows to improve the general condition of the body, get rid of digestive problems, reduce weight, if there are no contraindications to this method.

Hydrocolonotherapy: Pros and Cons

Fashionable and popular cleaning technology has an ardent opponent. This is due to the fact that in Ukraine the procedure is carried out more often in cosmetic private rooms, rather than profile offices. Therefore, the risk of obtaining unqualified and poor-quality cleaning is increased. To prescribe or prohibit intestinal irrigation is the therapist, because you can be absolutely healthy and do not need intracavitary rinsing.

Opinion of medical professionals - hydrocolonotherapy for and against: 

  • doctors are often skeptical about the concept of slag and the accumulation of stool stones in the intestines, reinforcing the idea with the conclusions of pathologists; 
  • it is difficult to call a procedure natural and physiological. The water supply to the anus is not a natural phenomenon; 
  • the use of decoctions, enzyme preparations is fraught with an imbalance in the intestines due to the leaching of useful microflora; 
  • intracavitary procedure can only be done by a competent specialist. Manipulation is carried out at random, controlled by the sensations of the patient and the visual attention of the medic. The large intestine has transitions of 90, so the health worker must have the appropriate qualifications. In the case of diverticulosis, the risk of damage to the intestinal wall by the hose is great; 
  • hydrocolonotherapy is an indispensable method of preparing patients before the study on the large intestine or surgical intervention. Enemas, diets, laxatives in this case are ineffective and in the aggregate they are hard transferred by patients.

It should be noted that the positive result of hydrocolonotherapy shows how to get rid of a chronic anal fissure. The formation of pathology is associated with spasm of the anal sphincter. In the process of purification therapy, the sphincter relaxes, getting rid of mucus and normalizing the excretory function - fix the result.

Indications for hydrocolonotherapy

The health of the human body depends on the smooth functioning of the intestine. Snacking on the go, irrational nutrition, defeat by worms, psychoemotional factor lead to stagnant phenomena and clogging of the intestine with products of decay, fermentation, poisons, etc.

Hydrocolonotherapy helps to clean the walls of the colon from stool, weight of which sometimes reaches 25 kg. With such a load, it's not just difficult to walk, but it's also terrible to live: unsealed products turn into poison, poisoning blood and internal organs. The first signs of intoxication - sluggish state, decreased performance - indicate the need to clean the digestive system.

Hydrocolonotherapy indications for use: 

  • stool disorders (constipation / diarrhea); 
  • problems with weight (obesity); 
  • the presence of dyskinesia; 
  • hemorrhoids in the phase of remission; 
  • poisoning due to irregularities in the intestine; 
  • gynecological diseases (erosion, vaginitis); 
  • decreased immunity (increased cases of respiratory / viral damage, skin rashes); 
  • narcotic / alcoholic or poisoning with poisons; 
  • migraine; 
  • skin problems (face or body); 
  • pain in the lower back; 
  • bloating; 
  • inflammatory processes in the prostate.

The benefits of hydrocolonotherapy

The wider your personal list of health problems, the more understandable is the truth that one cleaning of the intestine will be few. It is necessary to maintain and heal yourself with reasonable nutrition (balanced for your specific case), physical activity, positive thinking.

Hydrocolonotherapy, as part of the preventive effect, normalizes digestion, improves the skin, improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and promotes the flow of energy. The maximum results from the procedure are obtained by patients with a particularly impressive initial list of diseases.

The benefits of hydrocolonotherapy are: 

  • detoxification - withdrawal of toxic substances from the large intestine; 
  • normalization of stool and stool formation, beneficial effect on intestinal motility; 
  • correction of immunity - the lymphatic system that performs the role of "sewage" in the body, has an outlet to the intestinal mucosa. With the adherence of fecal masses to the walls of the intestine, problems naturally arise. The intercellular interaction can be renewed thanks to purification therapy; 
  • restoration of microcirculation of the peritoneum organs - the therapy copes with stagnant phenomena in the intestines that negatively affect the blood supply of internal organs; 
  • weight loss.

As for the small intestine and the liver, the water does not fall into them during the process of cleaning. Alternation of warm and cool washing liquid naturally causes spontaneous cleansing of the small intestine, liver and kidneys.

Preparing for hydrocolonotherapy

To achieve tangible results, the preparation to hydrocolonotherapy helps to bring the organism indisputable benefits.

First, three days before the procedure should limit the intake of animal fats. Categorically forbidden - pastry with bran, bread on rye flour, beans, cabbage, vegetables and fruits in fresh form, as well as alcohol and carbonated drinks. Preferably eat porridge on the water - wheat, rice, oatmeal, buckwheat. A steamed fish, lean bird meat is acceptable. These days it is useful to eat beets with vegetable oil, steamed. From drinks are allowed - homemade yogurt, low-fat kefir, juice without sugar and herbal tea.

Third, before the session, one should not eat anything. The last meal should be taken at least 4 hours in advance.

Hydrocolonotherapy can bring discomforts in the form of mild nausea and weakness, which quickly pass. Unpleasant feelings from the intestine worry, usually a few hours. Normalize the condition with warm tea and warming up the stomach.

Procedure for hydrocolonotherapy

Cleansing of the intestine by the method of hardware exposure is a safe, effective and painless technique. True, there are lovers of domestic cleaning, which use for washing salted water, taken inwards. This method is considered more natural than the hardware one. On the other hand, the hydrocolonotherapy procedure performed in the clinic is most effective, since it irrigates all parts of the large intestine. Cleaning in the home to promote water along the digestive tract requires the development of special exercises, the quality of which is estimated by the performer himself.

In the process of the hardware technique, there may be a slight discomfort. In addition to modern equipment throughout the entire session with you will be a medical specialist. Structured water (for example, laser) is used as the solution, medicinal substances, saprophytic microorganisms or herbal decoctions. These solutions allow you to avoid complications and make the procedure as comfortable as possible. The beginning of cleansing is accompanied by a gentle massage of the abdomen, and after the hydrocolonotherapy the patient feels amazing ease.

Apparatus for hydrocolonotherapy

The intestinal cleaners are manufactured all over the world. The Ukrainian apparatus for hydrocolonotherapy "MIT-KT" was created under the auspices of the All-Ukrainian Association of Physiotherapy and Balneology.

The effect of domestic equipment is based on the classical method of irrigation of the intestine. Under the influence of slightly heated water, not digested food particles, pathogens, mucus, poisons, and feces from the surface of the mucosa of the large intestine are removed.

Ukrainian engineers supplied the device with know-how. Water for therapy is exposed to ultraviolet disinfection, and the use of a red beam and a magnet gives the liquid medium special healing properties. Here such an active solution is fed into the intestines with intermittent shocks.

After intracavitary manipulations on "MIT-KT" patients get rid of toxins, restore the balance of the whole organism, harmonize the state of microflora, normalize defecation, increase immunity, improve hormonal, vitamin and enzyme background.

Techniques that allow you to lose those extra pounds can be divided into: 

  • dietary - weight control by adjusting the diet; 
  • physical - strengthened training; 
  • cosmetic - honey massage, wraps, scrubs, etc .; 
  • normalizing metabolic processes (including metabolism).

The procedure allows you to increase the rate of metabolism in the body, withdraw the accumulated "deposits" of the large intestine for years. It should be understood that the decrease in body weight is not due to burning fat, but as a result of cleaning from slags.

It is also necessary to imagine that it is possible to achieve a stable result after having completed a washing course. In the desire to achieve harmony at any cost, hydrocolonotherapy will be a quick and reliable method. However, to change the cravings in food still have to, otherwise the weight will return as the "blockage" of the intestine.

How is hydrocolonotherapy?

The patient is comfortable lying down on his back or side and relaxes. Before the session begins, the doctor makes an easy massage of the abdomen in order to activate the intestine.

A cleaning solution (regular / structured water, herbal infusion, etc.) is injected into the large intestine. It should be noted that the tips on the hose are disposable, so do not worry about the infection.

The device is designed in such a way that the waste water with intestinal contents (feces, food residues, etc.) leaves through a special hose in a sealed container. During the session, unpleasant odors are eliminated. All the procedure with you is a specialist who watches as hydrocolonotherapy passes, following intra-abdominal pressure and your sense of comfort.

The session lasts an average of half an hour. The number of procedures is assigned individually according to the results of the preliminary examination. The course varies from three to ten procedures.

The saline solution is not absorbed in the intestines, but rinses the mucous membrane. The laxative effect can be increased by taking in the evening 2 parts of magnesium sulphate (25g per 200g of water).

End-to-end cleansing of the intestine or home hydrocolonotherapy requires drinking salted water in small portions. An important condition - do not eat up for the night, since the morning you can not eat or drink anything. The cleaning result is checked by the cleanliness of the water during defecation. Such cleaning can be done 3-5 times with a one / two day break.

After an hour after washing, it is recommended to eat boiled rice or oatmeal on water with butter.

Fat, heavy foods should also be excluded. Do not abuse products that cause bloating and severe gas formation (eg, legumes, cabbage).

The body after the therapy itself does not want to eat harmful food. Therefore, in the diet there will be fresh vegetables / fruits, natural yoghurts, juices and herbal decoctions without sugar. Sweetheads can be advised to eat honey, which must also be real.
