What is colon hydrotherapy?

Colon hydrotherapy is an internal bath to help cleanse the colon (large intestine) of poisons, gas, accumulated faecal matter and mucus deposits.

It was used in UK hospitals until relatively recently when the cost became uneconomical in face of strong purgatives used before bowel procedures.

What Happens During a colon hydrotherapy session?

Your Colon Hydrotherapy treatment will generally last 40 minutes during your hour.The session will begin with Sarika taking your case history followed by a thorough explanation of the procedure. You then change into a gown.During the treatment itself, you relax on a treatment couch in complete comfort. From the hydrotherapy equipment, a small disposable speculum is gently inserted into the rectum, through which warm filtered water passes into the colon. The speculum has separate water (inwards) and waste line (outwards) that is attached to the hydrotherapy equipment.The warm purified water is introduced very slowly into the colon, and slight pressure builds up. The water is then gently released along with waste matter. The colon hydrotherapy equipment used at Clarity Wellbeing fills at a very low constantly monitored pressure. The process of filling and releasing is typically repeated 3 to 5 times during the treatment. Whilst you are vacuating Sarika will use light massage on the abdominal area to increase peristalsis (the muscular action of the colon to move waste through). This in turn will loosen faecal impaction, dislodge toxic waste matter adhering to the walls of the colon and will assist in moving gas through.Just one colon hydrotherapy session may be equivalent to having 20 or 30 regular bowel movements. Eliminations during subsequent therapy sessions can be even more substantial as older, hardened, impacted faeces are dislodged from the colon walls.Sarika will carefully evaluate your progress during their session to determine if additional sessions would be beneficial. After one session, many people report a feeling of heightened energy, an increased sense of wellbeing and renewed vitality.Through her own personal experiences, Sarika understands the ability of colon hydrotherapy to work at every level of our being. For many this will include helping to unlock the treasure and hidden potential that lies within each and every one of us.

What is an enema?

An enema is designed to assist colon hydrotherapy, it is a mixture of many different healing and rejuvenating herbs that are introduced to the treatment.

Sarika (a member of ARCH – Association of Registered Colon Hydrotherapists) will introduce an enema to improve the colon’s overall function according to your requirements. There is a choice of herbs that can be added to the colonic to promote and speed up the benefits of an initial treatment. This combined treatment is ideal for first-timers wanting to maximise benefits from a single session.

How is colon hydrotherapy different from enemas, laxatives, or herbal cleanses?

Enemas usually reach only the lower part of the colon and give short-term relief. Laxatives stimulate the bowel chemically and can feel unpredictable. Colon hydrotherapy with herbal infusions works through the whole colon in a steady, body-led way, using warm water and gravity.The herbs soften the colon, support deeper release, and can ease emotional tension held in the belly. Many clients say they feel not only physically lighter, but also emotionally clearer and calmer afterwards.

s colon hydrotherapy safe?

Yes, when carried out by an experienced, qualified therapist. At Clarity Wellbeing your session is guided by Sarika, who brings both medical understanding and holistic care. If you are unsure whether it is right for you, simply call and Sarika will listen and guide you personally.

Will it hurt or feel embarrassing?

Most people do not find the treatment painful. The gravity system keeps the flow natural and steady, so sensations are gentle.Your dignity is always protected. I provide underwear, gowns, and a towel so you feel covered at all times. Everything is explained step by step, and the pace is set by you. I also tune into your emotions and energy, creating a calm and safe space where you feel fully supported throughout.

How do you keep treatments clean and safe?

At Clarity Wellbeing, your safety and comfort are my highest priority. I use disposable equipment for every client, nothing is ever reused. All treatment areas are deep cleaned between appointments, so everything you come into contact with is fresh, hygienic, and prepared just for you.

Is my information kept confidential?

Yes. When you book, you will be asked to complete a medical form before your appointment. We will also have a private discussion before your treatment begins. All of this information is kept strictly confidential and is used only to make sure your treatment is safe and tailored to you. Your notes are never shared and are stored securely.

Do I need to tell you about my medications or health conditions?

Yes, it is important that I know about your health and any medications or supplements you are taking, but you do not need to explain it all in advance. When you book online, you will be asked to complete a medical history form. This is where you can simply and clearly share everything I need to know. When you arrive for your appointment, we will go through your form together. This way, everything is clear, safe, and tailored to you, and you can feel relaxed knowing all the important details have already been noted.

How should I prepare for my first session?

Please do not eat for two hours before your treatment, but you can drink water as normal.If you are having a colonic as part of a detox or dietary plan, continue with the diet you are on. If you are coming due to digestive problems or health concerns, please do not change your diet beforehand. I need to see a true picture of how your bowels are working day to day in order to tailor your treatment.Wear comfortable clothing and arrive a little early.

What happens during the session?

Your appointment begins with a gentle conversation about your health, lifestyle, feelings, and goals.The cleanse uses the gravity system with warm, filtered water and tailored herbal infusions. The herbs soften the colon, encourage a deeper release, and bring ease to the emotions often held in the belly.I may also use abdominal massage to ease blockages I detect, guided by both my medical knowledge and my sensitivity to your energy. Every step is adapted to you.

What should I expect afterwards?

Most people leave feeling lighter, clearer, more hydrated, and more energised. Many describe a sense of connection and groundedness in the body, a brighter mood, and an overall feeling of reset and balance. Some also notice their body feels less tired and heavy, with a general improvement in wellbeing.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your goals and how your body responds.For a one-off cleanse or lighter reset, most people choose the Gut Health Microbiome Boost, which combines warm water, tailored herbs, and massage to address blockages detected during the session.For deeper and longer-lasting results, the rule of thumb is three sessions, as the colon tends to release in layers, the first clears the surface, the second works deeper, the third allows a more complete cleanse.When you come in, I will assess and guide you towards the rhythm that best suits your body.

How long is a session?

The cleanse itself lasts a maximum of 40 minutes, with a full hour set aside for your appointment so there is time to talk, listen, and tailor the treatment to you.It is important not to over-hydrate the system. If water is kept in the colon for longer than 40 minutes, the body can start to lose electrolytes, which are natural salts and minerals such as sodium and potassium that keep you hydrated and energised. Too much water for too long can therefore have the opposite effect, leaving the body feeling dehydrated instead of refreshed.This is why your session is carefully timed, to keep the treatment both safe and effective, and to leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and more energised.

What benefits might I notice?

People often report easier digestion and less bloating, more energy and mental clarity, clearer skin, a brighter mood, emotional ease and lightness, and a renewed sense of connection and groundedness in the body.Many clients also share that they notice their body feels less tired and heavy, with a general improvement in overall wellbeing.

What happens to my gut bacteria during and after a colonic?

Your gut is home to many different types of bacteria, some helpful and some less so. A colonic gently clears out what the body is ready to release, which may include bacteria that are no longer serving you. The body naturally restores its balance quickly, and many people describe the treatment as a fresh start for digestion.At Clarity Wellbeing, I use herbal infusions during the cleanse to support the gut environment, soothe the colon, and encourage healthy bacteria to flourish.To give your microbiome the best support, during the colonic you can choose to have a probiotic implant placed directly into the gut. This bypasses digestion and delivers live bacteria straight to where they are needed most. After the colonic, I recommend continuing with Symprove probiotic, a high-quality liquid probiotic proven to deliver live bacteria to the gut. Through my partnership with Symprove, you can access it at a special discounted rate via the link on my website.Together, these steps help reset and replenish your microbiome, leaving you with a stronger, healthier balance and an overall sense of wellbeing.

No, most people do not. If you have specific health concerns, call me first. I will listen and may suggest checking with your GP before booking.

Can I have a colonic during pregnancy?

No, colon hydrotherapy is not recommended during pregnancy. If you are pregnant and uncomfortable, call me to discuss gentle, safe alternatives until treatment can be carried out after birth.

Yes. Many people find it helps ease bloating, cramping, and sluggishness at this time. The session is adapted to your comfort.
