Colonic Hydrotherapy Colonic Hydrotherapy is a modern and efficient technique used to provide a comfortable and harmless solution to an age old problem of eliminating toxins. The treatment involves a gentle internal bath using warm, purified water that can help to eliminate stored faecal matter, gas, mucus and toxin substances from the colon. What are the benefits? The therapeutic action brings an in-depth cleansing of the colon, which helps remove the causes of many chronic pathological diseases. It can be used to help:- - Kidney function - Bladder and sphincter problems - Varicose veins and heamorrhoids, by aiding the return of blood through the veins - Dysmenorrhoea, other problems including constipation IBS & gall bladder malfunctions. - Metabolic irregularities including water retention and cellulites. - Skin pathologies such as acne, psoriasis and eczema. - Pathologies of a congestive origin, ear nose and throat problems, including headache and migraine. How does it work? Your visit to a registered colonic therapist will involve the taking of your case history followed by an explanation of the procedure. The colonic itself will take approximately 45 minutes, during which time water will be gently introduced into the colon via the rectum, whilst your therapist uses special massage techniques to stimulate release of stored matter. Herbal and bacterial implants may be used and your practitioner will also advise you on diet and certain cleansing and naturopathic techniques to further enhance your treatment. Following your treatment, information sheets will be given and key areas will be discussed in relation to your health lifestyle. How many treatments should you have? This is dependant upon you as an individual and advice will be given at the first consultation. It may vary from one treatment to a number spread out over a period of time. During treatment, the client's lower half is kept covered and the process itself is not painful or discomforting. Practitioners will sometimes recommend changes to the client's diet. Treatment should always be undertaken by a trained and qualified practitioner who will remain with you throughout the procedure. Perfection in the hydrotherapy of the colon Using the "HC-2000" instrument, filtered water is introduced at a comfortable temperature into the colon. An automatic system for instant filling and emptying of water, which permanently dissolves all deposits adhering to the colon. This colon therapy is completely hygeinic, painless and odourless, avoiding all unpleasant effects of normal irrigations and similar systems. The therapist will gently administer abdominal massage to assist the procedure. Testimonials I heard about the Well Springs off my friend who highly recommended them to me as I suffer with IBS and a very sluggish digestive system. After me trying different drinks tablets and other remedies they were my last resort. I rang them to make an appointment to have a colonic irrigation as I herd they can help with the condition i have also just to ask questions and to get advise at first and i found both Lynn and lan were lovely very helpful and accommodating. They advised me on everything i wanted to know and answered all my questions with excellent knowledge on all my questions and there benefits of all the different treatments they offered. As a result of this i made an appointment at the clinic for my treatment which was a colonic irrigation. I was met at the clinic with a very warm welcome with Lynn and lan who made me feel at ease and very comfortable as i think colonies are quite a personal treatment to have so this to me was very important. I found the clinic very nice spotlessly clean and it had a very calming relaxing feel with it. I had my treatment with Lynn who is so lovely and friendly. I was very comfortable and at ease all the way threw my treatment. I could not believe it after i had it; i felt a difference straight away. I felt great it was almost like a relief i felt a lot lighter re vitalised and energised so a lot more energy. It got rid of all my toxins and unwanted waste. It was quite amazing on how much waste that comes away that is stuck in your body which just by knowing that alone gives you a clearer mind and a feel good factor. The overall experience for me was fantastic and i am very happy i had it and with the results. I will defiantly be making another appointment for another treatment soon. I also bought some supplements from the clinic too which are helping me with my digestive system and are good to take to get the full benefits of my treatment which am finding are very good and are helping too. They have a Varity of other different supplements and herbal aids also that are for all sorts of things. If your thinking of going to the well springs i highly recommend them they have a wide range of other treatments and holistic therapies that am sure are just as excellent and all have fantastic results as the one i had. Thank you Lynn and lan. Naomi I began having colonies several years ago following problems with severe constipation. I remember the wonderful feeling of relief following my first colonic. More recently I have been undergoing a series of colonies in conjunction with the Andreas Moritz liver and gallbladder cleanse. Moritz believes that both the liver and gallbladder are filled with stones and that by releasing them over a series of cleanses we can improve bile flow to the bowel and consequently improve digestion with a whole host of other benefits. To be successful, he believes it is critical to empty the bowel with a pre-cleanse colonic to allow more stones to be released during the cleanse and then finish with a post cleanse colonic to get rid of any remaining stones which have not been passed naturally. I have just completed my ninth liver cleanse and over the last few months have notice a slow but steady improvement in my digestion. I often work nights and used to feel very uncomfortable with lots of gas and bloating - this has now almost completely gone and it is so lovely to feel comfortable throughout the night. During my last two post cleanse colonies both my therapist and I noticed that the peristaltic action in my bowel is much stronger than it used to be. I have tried many different approaches to improving my health and have noticed other changes. The acne which plagued me for over twenty five years has completely gone and I have had beautifully clear skin for the last year or so. I also used to get several really bad colds every year. Now I don't remember the last time I had a cold. I believe that the act of detoxifying my body through colonies and liver cleansing has played an important role in these changes and look forward to seeing what improvements the next few cleanses will bring. Gillian Dearest Lynne and lan Just to say a huge 'thank you' for your invaluable help, advice and diagnosis last week. And for treating me so promptly - as I was at my wits end and uncharacteristically close to tears given that I had been continually extremely more poorly than usual with a 'virus' and even more bed ridden than usual too, for some 5 weeks, having to attend my GP (local) surgery no less then 6 times -to no avail!! I felt the benefits further to the treatment I received within 24 hours which felt so wonderful and even helped me attend a function we had been invited to which I am sure would not have been possible without you and your brilliant Clinic 'Wellsprings' - the holistic approach to health and wellbeing evidently works wonders - it has been a week now and although I will always suffer the symptoms of M.E. and Fibromyalgia you truly have aided me - more than words can say. I loved the little book you have produced 'Candida Albicans -The Masked Epidemic - a Journey of Discovery', its wonderfully inspiring and the foreword from Dr Mainey is so supportive. It's a great relief to learn that at long last - (apart from my M.E. Specialist Dr Grimes) that you understand. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Sara
