Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon Hydrotherapy promotes longevity through the process of detoxification. It makes sense that when your body is clean and healthy on the inside, the outside of your body will look and feel young, healthy, and beautiful!
Also known as colonic irrigation, this therapy offers potential benefits for a range of gastrointestinal issues and associated symptoms. It may aid in alleviating constipation, which can arise from various factors, including the use of prescription drugs or a high-protein diet. It can also assist in managing diarrhea, bloating, discomfort after eating, and the occurrence of smelly gas. Other symptoms can also benefit from colon hydrotherapy; see below for more information.
Detox for Life has served over 9,000 clients and has conducted approximately 25,000 colonic sessions with over 23 years in business in the "Heart of Scottsdale."
It's crucial to understand the degenerative damage that occurs daily as our bodies absorb toxic chemicals from preservatives and/or additives in the foods and drinks we ingest, from the polluted air we breathe, and from the petrochemicals found in most cosmetic and cleansing products we put on our skin. As these foreign substances are absorbed into the bloodstream, they form toxins within our living cells.
Our clinic operates by appointment only to guarantee your privacy and ensure your comfort during treatment.

- – Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

- – Colitis
- – Parasites

Clients seek colon hydrotherapy for various reasons, whether it’s to complement fasting, cleansing programs, raw food diets, liver and/or gallbladder flushes, or recovery from accidents. Others are driven by pain-related issues such as abdominal pain, headaches, migraines, joint pain, or immune-compromised conditions like lupus, MS, Lyme disease, arthritis, cancer, chronic fatigue, candida, infections, colds, or influenza.
If the bowel has sufficient fiber and water, it is typical for it to move shortly after completing a meal. Once the urge to eliminate is acknowledged with a trip to the toilet, the elimination process should be smooth and take no more than a few seconds.
Ideally, the stool will be approximately 1″ in diameter, light brown in color, and without any offensive odor. It should either float or sink very slowly. Upon flushing the toilet, the stool should immediately begin to break apart due to the water movement.
The number of colonic sessions required will vary depending on each individual’s case and goals. Just as some individuals engage in daily or weekly exercise routines to tone and strengthen their outer body, others opt for an ongoing regimen of cleansing, toning, and rebuilding for their inner body.
Many people carry ten or more pounds of impacted feces in their colon. Often, this waste is so firmly lodged in the colon that it may necessitate a series of colonics to adequately soften and dislodge it.
Initially, it is recommended to undergo 3 to 12 sessions, especially if you have never undergone a complete colon cleanse before. The number of sessions may be influenced by how your body responds to the initial sessions. Factors such as age, previous dietary and exercise habits, daily activities, and emotional well-being can all affect the number of sessions required.
After completing a full colon cleanse, typically consisting of 3 to 6 sessions, the general guideline is to schedule a session once every 4 to 6 weeks, followed by a series of 3 sessions with every change of season.
Consistently maintaining regular preventative maintenance can help reduce the need for future sessions compared to individuals with gastrointestinal issues.

Filtered, temperature-regulated water is gently introduced into the colon through a disposable speculum. Once the waste material in the colon is softened and loosened, it is evacuated through a flexible plastic hose that connects the speculum to the Colon Hydrotherapy device.
At Detox for Life, we utilize a “closed system,” ensuring there is no offensive smell or mess to worry about during the procedure. Typically lasting 35 to 40 minutes on the table, our treatment prioritizes the comfort and dignity of our clients.
We exclusively use Toxygen™ and HydroSan plus Clinic equipment, known for their advanced technology and ability to maintain a completely closed system without offensive odors. This not only ensures the cleanest water but also helps reduce the harmful effects of chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, bacteria, and other toxins.
To maintain the highest sanitary standards, our colon hydrotherapy machines employ pre-sterilized, disposable hoses, and speculums, which are used only once during a single therapy session to prevent any chance of cross-contamination.
The experience is designed to be relaxing and gentle, with additional features such as Castor oil packs using Far Infrared Heating Migun Mat and soothing therapeutic-grade oils applied to the abdomen and sometimes feet. We uphold the highest quality standards and sanitary practices throughout.
Rest assured, your modesty is protected throughout the entire process.
After a colonic treatment, clients are provided with guidance on which minerals and probiotics can help promote the generation of good intestinal flora and lubrication. Following a regular bowel movement, clients can typically return to work with ease.
For a refreshing and rejuvenating session, we recommend following these guidelines:
- Fasting: Refrain from eating for at least 2 hours prior to your appointment to ensure optimal results.
- Preparation: In the days leading up to your appointment, incorporate a variety of fruits, with a focus on apples, and fresh coconut milk into your diet. Additionally, include vegetables and certain herbs such as senna tea (Smooth Move Tea), Turkey Rhubarb, wheatgrass, alfalfa tablets, or aloe vera juice. These foods help to dissolve accumulated fecal matter, preparing your body for the session.
- Mild Exercise: Engage in mild exercise, such as walking, as it can help stimulate bowel movements and promote overall well-being.
- Hydration: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of liquids, including water and fresh extracted juices like herbal tea. Proper hydration supports the body’s natural detoxification processes
- Preparation Supplements: Consider juicing or taking Pathogen Buster supplements 3-4 days before your appointment to further prepare your body for the session
- Dietary Restrictions: Avoid consuming refined foods, including white flour, bread, pasta, rice, and sugars, as well as mucous-producing foods like dairy products. Additionally, steer clear of fried foods, junk foods, and red meats, as they can hinder the cleansing process.
- Foods to Avoid: Refrain from chewing gum, consuming gassy foods, yeast-producing foods, and carbonated beverages. These items can lead to excess gas and discomfort during the session. Examples of gassy foods include cabbage, broccoli, sodas, wine, beer, and hard liquor, as well as all yeast-producing foods such as bread and muffins.
- Oil Pulling: Consider incorporating oil pulling into your routine as a natural method of detoxification and oral hygiene.
By following these recommendations, you can enhance the effectiveness of your colon hydrotherapy session and maximize the benefits for your overall health and well-being.
