Color irrigation, also known as a high colonic, is founded on the belief that all disease and sickness begins in the colon. While high colonics are looked at as vital to colon health by some, others are not so convinced. In fact, the California Department of Health states that, while there is no substantive proof that colonic irrigation has any health benefits at all, there is substantial proof that it can be hazardous. These hazards arise from infection of the colon brought by contaminated equipment during colon irrigation therapy. For some though, the point falls on deaf ears.
Step 1
Sit in the colonic irrigation chair. These can be purchased online or at certain specialty shops. High colonic chairs allow the person getting a colon irrigation to sit in a reclined fashion while the colonic is given. What makes these chairs special is that they have an opening down where the anus is for inserting the water tube. The opening is wide enough to allow fecal matter and other waste to drop down.
Step 2
Insert the hose into your rectum. It's probably better to have someone else do this. In fact, having a colon irrigation specialist to administer the high colonic is best. How high the high colonic hose actually goes up into your anus will depend on the size of the hose itself. Obviously, sticking a hose up your rectum until it hurts is unwise.
Step 3
Start the water pump. The water pump is submerged in a 20 gallon barrel of water. You can use a smaller amount if you wish. If you don't have a 20 gallon barrel, use a smaller container and perform an additional colonic. The water pump should flow the water from the barrel, through the tube and into the rectum. Make sure the water pressure isn't too strong. The key to colon irrigation, like the name sounds, is a nice watering of the colon, not a blasting.
Tips and Warnings
- Never attempt a high colonic alone. A specialist is always recommended.
