Colon Hydrotherapies and Colonics

I'm sure that this topic has been covered before and yet I remain quite curious about it. For myself, I have a professional colon irrigator, "machine," that I use at home at least once a week along with my daily enemas. My kids and grandchildren think that I'm wierd for engaging in this practice. However at seventy four years old in a couple of moths I feel that I am in good health because I keep my colon clean.

That brings me to my questions, which are: Do you use Colon Hydrotherapy, colonics, administered by a practitioner, household member or yourself? If you do, why? If you do not, why? How do you feel before, during and after this procedure? Many or most of us get a relaxed, euphoric feeling after an enema. Is this the same uplift that you get from a Colon Hydrotherapy? Is the monetary charge for the procedure a factor? What are the medical and legal professions' opinion of this procedure?

My own answer to all of this is, "Try it, you'll like it!" That's because an enema a day keeps the doctor away!

Before we had our kids, I had a Toxygen Model B colon hydrotherapy machine in our bathroom, mounted on the wall over the toilet, and I built a folding massage table that fit over the bath tub (which is next to the toilet). When company wss coming over we threw a towel over it. A few people asked us about it, a couple of o or friends thought we were weird, but overall wasn't a big deal.

Currently use enemas once on a while, probably not as often as I should. I miss having a colonic machine. At this point it's just not practical for me.

Let them think you're weird.. You're healthy.

I had one colonic and liked it, but nowadays I can't afford it. Besides, I'd have to drive 50 miles north or west to find a town that offers colonics.

The one I had was from a very obese woman in Dayton, Ohio who claimed she was an RN who had retired from hospital work. I was fine with her, just because she was a female.

There is a clinic in Mansfield, Oh., 50 miles north that has 2 women in their late 20's who give the colonics. There is also 3 doctors and a physical therapist at the same clinic. I brought in lunch for the entire staff one time and got to meet the colon hydrotherapists. I was tempted to go back to see them, but my main reason for being there was to talk to the Docs about the benefits of Rx'ing my companies products. Missed opportunities?

My machine is a Toxygen Model B which I purchased on Ebay for about one tenth of the cost of a new one. I retubed it and replaced the flow valve with a gate valve. I also replaced some of the "O" rings.

If you check for, "Colonic Irrigation" like machines come up for sale on auction sites like Ebay occasionally. Also, Specialty Health Products in Phoenix has new machines that they manufacture. They often have newer used machines that they take back used. The Specialty used machines are on consignment but are less expensive than their new ones.

Owning your own surely cuts down on costs and going to a therapist. It's a more convenient to keep your daily appointments because an enema a day keeps the doctor away.

I was diagnosed with moderate diverticular disease when I had a colonoscopy about a week ago. I would like to know if colonics would help to manage it so that it will not turn into diverticulitis? Any thoughts from anyone on this?

Never had a colonic but have done enemas, especially when my IBS kicks in. I don't think I could a colonic.

First, a comment! Colon Hydrotherapy is a kinder and gentler way to cleanse your colon. I have found that those administered by a practitioner to be an experience that I look forward to.

Secondly, comes a question: would you prefer a male or female practitoner to administer yours? Why?

Thanks for your honest answer.

I have had many many colonics over the years, and they are always administered by a female practitioner. Although I have been doing enemas since about age 11 or 12, I got my first colonic at about age 35, and have never looked back except to wonder why I waited so long. I normally go to the colonic clinic about every three months give or take a week or so. Sessions usually last about an hour or so and I get a really good clean-out, along with an exchange of jokes to keep the mood light and not too sexual. Now, the therapist I go to is about half my age, and if I were to meet her outside of the clinic, I would most definitely try to get her to let me return the favor in a sexual way. In my fantasies! Dream on there WET!

I have self-administered enemas for years, and will be taking my first colonic in a few weeks. Some friends recommended them after they had good experiences. All of them are reporting increased energy and a general feeling of wellbeing. I had thought about trying one out, but never took the step of scheduling. For those who go to sessions regularly, what does it feel like and how frequently do you go?

Colon hydrotherapy is a very relaxing indulgence. This is especially true if one has already overcome hesitance to enjoy an enema or two. While many of us prefer colon cleansing with enemas, the colonic process is a thorough and complete procedure where someone else is putting forth most of the effort.

One can just lay back and relax as the procedure is completed. That isn't to say that a few large fills doesn't create some sensations and require some effort at breathing deeply etc.

I don't usually get the same "charge" out of a colonic, that I do with enemas, but still enjoy the pampering and encouragement with a nice female therapist. One of my favorite therapists retired recently. She had a great sense of humor and probably understood my enjoyment of the procedure. She used to tell me "All of my clients are Assholes" and sure made my bowel prep tolerable prior to a colonoscopy. Because of cost, my visits were limited to 3-4 times a year.

Enjoy yourself pinklady...I think you'll be glad you took the leap!

I do want to do a colonics session at some point. I have never been to a professional colonics clinic. From what I have read here on zity, the closed system seems to require more attention from the colonics staff vs. an open system. I think I would opt for the closed system just for that reason.

I should say that enemas for me are part of my way of satisfying my anal erotic desires. The cleansing effect of enemas is a nice side benefit but not the reason I do enemas. And I know colonics clinics are not places of sexual expression so in some ways I would be doing enemas and not being able to end an orgasmic finale.

But the sensations of professional colonic would be worth experiencing. It is on my bucket list.

In the meantime I do enemas regularly about once a week for their soothing, relaxing and erotic effects.

Colonics?? I absolutely adore them. I first went for one back in 1982. That treatment, by Anne Coult, was incredible and as memorable as my first enema (1966). Then, due to life circumstances, a long break until 2009. Since 2009 I have had some two hundred colonics by eighteen different ladies here in the UK and in South Africa. They have used open, LIBBE and Angel of Water, closed Woods Gravity and closed, various machines. Every lady has given the colonic in their own way, all have been professional and three have become close friends. Typically, I go every three to four weeks.

My all-time favourite, who sadly no longer works, made the whole event very special. Her treatment room was warm, fragrant and with low lights and mood music and had an ensuite with toilet, bidet and shower. She used a machine but had an enema bucket plumbed through a Y piece. She would start the process with a coffee enema, and then move on to a series of fills and releases, holding my hand while she filled me and then massaging my tummy when she let me release. Time? She was never in a hurry and would continue until she achieved that cecum flush. I could be with her for up to an hour and a half. The lady I go to for rides on her Angel of Water is more conscious of the clock, the beep goes after forty minutes and its off the bed and onto the toilet, but she is fun and its nice to have something different!

And afterwards? I feel absolutely fabulous. Before colonics I struggled with a range of physical and mental health issues. Now everyone tells me how well I look!!

I was very much a fan of colon hydrotherapy using the closed system but not the open system. I long had irritable bowel syndrome, of the IBS-D variety. The colon hydrotherapy provided relief. Usually once every couple months was sufficient. Well-administered, I think they provide better cleansing than enemas do. I stopped having them around the time that the pandemic started and haven't yet resumed. But my IBS-D has been milder in recent years anyway. The colon hydrotherapy had a bit of kinky side to it anyway, which also added to the desirability of it.
