I successfully convinced my younger brother to go see a colon hydrotherapist and get cleaned out before starting his new diet. I could've given him a colonic myself at the spa where I work part-time, but that would've been awkward for both of us. So he went, nervously and reluctantly to another good therapist I know. He came through it boasting he was already scheduled for another 3 sessions within the month. He loved it. That said, before he went I recommended a few things to him to make the process easier for both him and the therapist giving him the colonic…….
Have an upbeat attitude , and a clear goal to what you expect colonics to accomplish. It's not a silver bullet cure-all for every ailment, but sickness dwells in the bowels. Get that gunk out of there, as well as the multitudes of parasites.2. Don't drink, eat heavy, or chew gum right before your colonic session. You're asking for a difficult session with cramping and hard releases into the waste hose. Chewing gum can cause gas, which can cause discomfort as the water pressure builds during a fill. Drinking a lot of fluid makes you need to pee during a session. This can be inconvenient with the speculum already inserted.
3. Relax: Don't be Afraid or Embarrassed. Easier said than done when your therapist is holding an inch diameter colonic speculum, and she's now asking you to turn onto your left side so she can do the insertion????? Trust me….IT DOES NOT HURT. The speculum is super smooth, anatomically designed for comfort and safety. Plenty of lube will be used, and it will be slowly and gently inserted not more than 3 or 4 inches up your rectum. A speculum is typically smaller in diameter than most healthy bowel movements. And don't be embarrassed by the process of the insertion. Any therapist with reasonable experience will have already seen plenty of buttholes giving colonics. Yours will be only one in many she's already seen. Nothing new, everybody's got one. The comedian Margaret Cho once joked “they're like snowflakes apparently”, talking about her first colonic.
4. Show Good Etiquette. Show up for your appointment on time. Always notify your therapist well in advance if you need to cancel. Client prudency is important to business. A NO SHOW is money lost. Not good in a strong economy, let alone how things are going now. It's just common courtesy to keep appointments. Also, show good hygiene……shower/bathe…..and PLEASE have a clean butthole when you come to your appointment. You'll find this step makes for a much more dignified session for both therapist and client.
That said, most people who have a colonic will admit the process is much easier than they had imagined before getting it done.
