Colon cleansing options

There are two options for you for a colon cleanse. You can undergo colon irrigation or hydrotherapy or you can use one of the many colon cleanse products in the market. In case of hydrotherapy, a professional administers an enema or water into the anus through a pipe to flush out all the fecal remains and toxic wastes accumulated in the colon.

Oxy colon irrigation is a colon cleanse where oxygen powder or liquid is used to flush the body of toxins and waste fecal matter from the colon.
