Colon hydrotherapy

What is Colon Hydrotherapy?

Colon hydrotherapy/intestinal lavage is a treatment method in which purified water at body temperature is brought through a special device along the entire length of the large intestine and is removed again together with the faeces and waste. Colon hydrotherapy contributes to a healthier life, creating more energy and vitality.

Who is colon hydrotherapy for?

For anyone who wants to promote her/his health and bring balance to her/his life. It is also recommended for: constipation, diarrhoea, bloated intestines, skin problems, headaches, fatigue or depression.

What should I wear to my appointment?

There is no special clothing required when you come in for a colon hydrotherapy session. We suggest you be comfortable.

How do I prepare for a colon hydrotherapy session?

We suggest you stop eating and drinking all together two hours before your scheduled appointment. Once you have experienced colon hydrotherapy a few times, you will be able to monitor how your body reacts and what foods are appropriate for you before a session.

Is Colon Hydrotherapy a Painful Treatment?

The simple truth is no. Ninety-nine percent of those who come in for colon hydrotherapy tell us that once the insertion is completed, they are very comfortable and enjoy the session and what they learn. While there may be some pressure from gas or movement inside the colon, it is not painful and mostly short-lived as the waste is eliminated from the body.

How long will the treatment take?

The treatment lasts 45 minutes.

Is there a special diet after a colonic?

We suggest you treat your digestive system gently for the rest of the day. We suggest you eat soft cooked foods (broth-based soups, steamed veggies, lean proteins) as they are easy on the digestive system; drink plenty of water; eat fresh vegetables and fruits; and avoid salad, nuts, icy foods/drinks, processed foods and sugar. Your colon hydrotherapist will remind you of these guidelines after your session. You are always welcome to call us if you have any questions or concerns once you get home.

Which device do you use?

Innerbalance -Enschede uses Herrmann bowel irrigation device

Can Colon Hydrotherapy be applied to everyone?

No, colon hydrotherapy cannot be used in acute inflammatory processes in the intestinal area, such as diverticulitis, active Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, but uncontrollable high blood pressure and renal insufficiency are also contraindications. Not even in the first and third trimester of pregnancy. Not even with recent abdominal surgery.

How many treatments do I need?

After an extensive intake, I draw up a treatment plan.
Experience shows that you need at least 5 treatments to get optimal benefit.

What is the difference between an enema and a colon hydrotherapy treatment?

With an enema, the water does not reach the entire large intestine and mainly the last part of the large intestine, the sigmoid, is cleaned. Furthermore, an enema can create a lot of tension in the abdomen. Anyone can administer an enema, but with colon hydrotherapy the entire process is supervised by the therapist. Furthermore, the intestine is hydrated by the colon hydrotherapy

Yoga

"HEALTH IS WEALTH, PEACE OF MIND IS HAPPINESS. YOGA SHOWS THE WAY."

S. Sivananda

What is Yoga?

Yoga is bringing your body and soul together. The balance between body and mind can be disturbed in any person. Yoga helps you restore balance. Yoga teaches you to listen to your own body. Yoga is about awareness; see and feel who you really are. In your fully human being, both physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

What kind of Yoga can you find at Innerbalance in Enschede?

I teach classical Hatha yoga according to Sivananda. Learning to control your body and breath, those are the most important pillars of Hatha yoga. In the name Hatha, the Sanskrit words ha (sun) and tha (moon) come together. The sun stands for action, the moon for internalization. In Hatha yoga those opposing energies come together. By moving your concentration and breath to points in the body, you bring awareness there.

Who is Yoga for?

Yoga is for anyone who wants to promote her health. From young to old. The exercises are safe and simple. Experience is not necessary. There is no right or wrong in Hatha yoga. Right and wrong are matters of the ego. In Hatha you just let that go. You let go of thoughts and let things happen. Are you tired and irritable? Have you (had) a burnout? Do you have symptoms of stress? Do you have sleep and concentration problems? Would you like to become more flexible and stronger? Do you want to be able to focus better on the here and now? Are you looking for more inner peace? Do you want to learn to relax better in the daily hectic? If you have answered at least 1 question with YES, then yoga is definitely for you.

What are the benefits of Yoga?

Yoga provides health, balance and happiness.
It gives you more self-confidence;
you learn to concentrate better;
you are able to create peace within yourself;
you keep your body flexible and strong;
it has a positive effect on your blood pressure and weight.
you sleep better;
you (re) find inner balance, which makes you more positive in life.

What does it bring?

When you listen to your body better, you make choices that make you happy both mentally and physically. You will feel better in your own skin. In addition, you will be increasingly able to relax, even outside the yoga classes. In case of stress or tension, you know how to let go and how to relax. This has a positive effect on your mood. It brings peace, positivity and confidence.

Awareness through Yoga

Because you become more aware of your body, spiritual awareness follows and vice versa. During the yoga class you are with all your attention in the here and now. You concentrate completely on the exercises. By carefully feeling and practicing your body, you increase your inner consciousness. You come into balance and gain insight into the interaction between thinking and feeling. As a result, you learn to recognize the signals such as stress and fatigue earlier. When you are more aware, you make better choices. You learn to listen to your body and respond much more to what your body asks of you.
