What does this type of cleaning consist of?

First of all, we would like to inform you that the mechanism of hydrotherapy is applied with the aim of provoking a detoxification of the large intestine. What is being cleaned are wastes that have not been properly expelled and that remain adhered to the walls of the intestine, contributing their toxicity to our organism.

Occasionally, there are traces of faeces that have not disappeared from the intestines, causing discomfort that is evident in the form of constipation, headaches or a bloated sensationThe Committee of the Regions is pleased to note that, among other disadvantages.

As they stick to the intestinal walls, they can even become the entry point for bacteria. Therefore, hydrotherapy can be administered for remove the organic debris that causes so many problems. 

The system by which this waste is removed consists of the introduction of a cannula up to one third of the large intestine. Pre-treated water is introduced through the cannula, at a warm temperature and in a amount controlled to be therapeutically beneficial and does not excessively carry away micro-organisms from the intestine. .

The faecal debris, which is the main purpose of this cleansing, will be removed through an outflow tube. The overall result is that the person who undergoes this treatment will feel better, as the pressure of the faeces will be reduced. stuck stool disappears over the intestinal walls.
