History of Colon Hydrotherapy
Referred to as “Alternative Therapy,” colon hydrotherapy, or colonic irrigation, is a process that uses water to flush away the excess waste in the colon. Working as an intestinal cleanser, colon hydrotherapy can relieve gas, constipation, and even cure diseases.
Ancient Beginnings
The practice began in Egypt, perhaps as early as 1500 B.C. and was recorded in a medical document known as the “Eber Papyrus,” where enemas and colon hydrotherapies were used by physicians to treat fever and remove mucus.
The ancient Greeks also used colonic irrigation to remove food, bile, blood, and for those with diseases.
In the 19th Century, it was considered that the bacteria associated with the colon could be cleansed, and toxins eliminated from the body by creating a flushing system that worked with gravity.
In 1908, Russian scientist Elie Metchnikoff received the Nobel Prize for research on immunity, and found that diseases occurs due to the build up of toxins in the body, finding that intestinal toxins actually shorten a person’s life.
Through colon cleansing, colon hydrotherapy, the positive bacterium are balanced and a sense of well-being is achieved.
The Modern Movement
In the modern era, a medical physician by the name of John H. Kellogg, was celebrated for his invention of Corn Flakes, Rice Crispies, but most importantly on his talks and speeches on proper hygiene and healthy foods, soon creating a following for colon hydrotherapy.
He used colon therapy on thousands of patients, never reverting to surgery to treat gastrointestinal disease.
Kellogg initiated the popularity of colon hydrotherapy as a means to clean the internal body naturally, while eating a high fiber diet and many fresh vegetables. He was the foremost contributor of preventative therapy to create an overall sense of wellbeing.
