No, it helps to drink more filtered water and avoid dairy and wheat as a way to prepare. We also suggest a supplemental magnesium
product the night before. Take 2 before bed each night to help draw water into the colon and promote the muscle activity.

How many bowel movements should I be having per day?

Ideally, you’d have 3 bowel movements per day. However, if the muscle in your colon has become sluggish and dehydrated,
peristalsis may not happen as often as we’d like. Many people only have 1 bowel movement per day and some are told it’s normal to
only have 3 per week. The question is, how do you feel? When your colon is impacted, it affects your outlook on life. We have three
meals per day and these meals are all moving through our digestive system towards the colon. When you have 3 bowel movements
per day, you fully evacuate and feel better. If you only have 1 bowel movement per day or less, 2 of those meals or more are waiting
around in your system. This can build up and become bound up in your colon.

when they want to, sometimes without any warning. The colon hydrotherapy session is a gentle, relaxing experience of warm,
filtered water soothing and relaxing the colon as it tones the muscles. Very big difference.

Why would anyone need colon cleansing?

home. It’s simply a fact of life. So there are a lot of things we can do to lessen our exposure, like eating a healthy Body Ecology diet
and practicing self-care.

muscles of the colon and re-stimulate your own natural peristalsis.
