How would I know if I have toxic material in my colon? 
The following common symptoms may be caused by toxins: chronic fatigue, headaches, irritability, depression, insomnia, constipation and/or distended abdomen. Other symptoms may include foul breadth, blemishes, stiff and aching joints.
What will a colonic do?
- Colonic irrigation cleanses the entire length of the colon to eliminate waste and toxins from the body.
- A colonic exercises the colon muscles and improves peristaltic activity, the muscular contractions that move food through the digestive track.
- It reshapes the colon: Bulging waste pockets and narrowing of the colon may exist as problems build up in this area. The gentle action of the water coupled with the massage techniques used by the colon therapist, help to restore the colon to its natural shape.
- Colonic hydrotherapy stimulates reflex points corresponding to various glands and organs in our body.
What makes a colonic so special?
In a 45 minute session, 15 gallons of purified water gently flushes the colon - which is far more than any other technique (such as enemas). Your therapist may massage and use pressure point techniques to loosen waste and stimulate muscular action.
Are colonics embarrassing?
Absolutely not. Privacy and decorum is maintained at all times. At Acqua Star, we use a closed pressure system which ensures there is no odor or mess. There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about.
How will I feel after a colonic irrigation?
Responses vary. Most people report that they feel clean, less bloated, clear-headed, and energized!
What are the characteristics of a healthy colon?
People with healthy colons usually have bowel movements shortly after a meal. Elimination is easy and takes no more than a few seconds. Stools are long, large in diameter, light in color, and without offensive odor. They generally float or sink down slowly. When the toilet is flushed, the stool quickly breaks apart.
What if I’ve been constipated for a long time?
Long-term constipation results from several factors including diet, exercise, and attitude. If you have been constipated for a long time, you will probably need a series of colonics to clean, tone, and re-balance your system.
Are practitioners licensed?
Acqua Star (in New York City) hires experienced, licensed therapists who have undergone extensive colonic training. We are members of International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy.
Is colon hydrotherapy safe?
Yes. Modern technological advances have made colon hydrotherapy a safe, valuable modality to treat a number of conditions. Acqua Star ensures your health and safety by utilizing disposable equipment and fresh linens. Before beginning, we take a complete history to be sure that there are no counter indications.
