The Colonic Review!

So it's been over 24 hours now since I had my colonic hydrotherapy treatment, time for the review!

Firstly let me clarify even though I've been wanting one of these for a few years I felt really nervous about the whole thing it seems like such an intimate process to go through with some one who you have only just met. One I was greeted by the lady who was doing the treatment for me I felt a whole lot better about things, she was very professional and knew a lot about this stuff. Suddenly I actually felt a little out of place because the whole way through all I wanted to do was make a jokes [my usual way of handling awkward situations]. 

She explained all of the health benefits and asked what I wanted to achieve from the treatment which was just to feel healthier and more cleansed in general. She proceeded to ask me to undress whilst she left the room and hide my dignity under a towel, which could've been a bit bigger! She also explained how the machine worked although at this point I think she was just making small talk to detract from the fact this is a very strange position to be in for two strangers. 

The actual process was not how I expected at all! At first it was really uncomfortable in fact it was the sort of pain which made me feel sick like a cramping feeling, and nothing was coming out. I was genuinely worried I would go home full of water and regretting my life, however after 10 minutes things started flowing. The actual process of water being pumped in and out is 30 minutes long. She was massaging my stomach very vigorously throughout which made me feel even more awkward. The gross bit - yes I saw a lot come out of me but did I feel better for it?

NO. 

I feel exactly the same. I expected to feel relieved or empty. Maybe even just more awake or energetic, but no. I had read through reviews before and it seems a lot of people say the same which makes me wonder if this is a bit of a pointless exercise? Humans have managed to lead healthy lives all these years without having water shooting up their bum and I can see why. Maybe for some one suffering with IBS or another illness which affects their digestive system this would work wonders. However for some one who [I'd imagine] has a relatively healthy colon, this seems a little pointless.

I don't regret my trip to the colonic clinic at all, it' an experience to say the least. However whilst I have a happy and healthy colon I think I shall be avoiding this!
