At Oasis Colonics, we gently rinse the lower bowel with warm water softening, breaking apart and removing encrusted fecal matter, gas and mucus leaving you feel clearer and lighter. Colonics can help re-tone and re-shape the colon. Some of the benefits of colon hydrotherapy include increased energy, improved circulation, clearer skin and eyes, enhanced mental clarity, weight normalization, improved digestion and relief from bloating.

The colon (large intestine) is approximately 5-6 feet long and approximately 2.5 cm wide. It is lined with a thick layer of mucous in which lives both friendly and unfriendly bacteria, yeasts and parasites. The colon completes the digestive process. It absorbs nutrients and water from digested foods. It processes dead cells and toxins received from the bloodstream. The colon is the body’s sewage system. When toxic waste is not effectively and regularly eliminated, it becomes reabsorbed into the bloodstream and re-distributed throughout the body. These toxins can collect in other organ tissue, such as the brain, wreaking havoc. As the years continue to pass, with inadequate nutrition and emotional stress, the body gradually becomes overwhelmed by toxicity. At this point, disease sets in ~ allergies, arthritis, migraines, skin problems, heart disease, metabolism and hormone imbalances, gout, constipation, parasites, candida overgrowth, IBS, colitis, Crohn’s disease, “bad” cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, et cetera.

People do not generally die from ‘old age’. People die, most often, from a lifetime of acidic accumulation and toxic congestion. Are you ready to improve your health?

A question that must be asked in this time of financial constraint:
Are colonics worth the price? Many doctors say “Yes!”.

At Oasis Colonics in Portland, Oregon, I recommend rotating probiotics to enhance overall microbial biodiversity in the G.I. tract. This practice is gaining interest among medical professionals. Rotation usually involves taking a given probiotic brand for a period of time (daily, weekly or monthly) followed by a different brand for a similar time period, and then “rotating back” to the first brand. Sometimes three or more brands are used. For this reason, I rotate my favorite brands that are for sale in my colon therapy practice.

The premise is that pathogenic bacteria and other undesirable microorganisms will be more effectively defeated by a larger contingency of probiotic strains. Certain probiotic strains colonize more effectively in specific areas of the G.I. tract – Lactobacilli do better in the small intestine while Bifidobacteria prefer the colon.

When a label tells you that the food you are buying “contains probiotics,” I encourage you to question whether they are selling health benefits or meremarketing hype. More on that topic in this article from The New York Times ~ Health section.

At Oasis Colonics in Portland, Oregon a colon hydrotherapy session lasts approximately one hour. A series of at least three separate sessions is recommended to achieve the maximum cleansing benefit. Colonics help to eliminate fecal matter from the large intestine, which may have been lodged in the colon for weeks, months, or even years. The goal of colon hydrotherapy is to irrigate the entire colon. This procedure greatly enhances the therapeutic benefit colon cleansing. The results attained with colonics are much greater than those achieved with the use enemas or laxatives. Enema cleansing is limited to the recto-sigmoid area, and cannot take the water further into the colon. Over-the-counter laxatives simply stimulate expulsion of the contents in the rectum. They contribute to dehydration and colon muscle weakness which may exacerbate a constipated condition.

During a colon hydrotherapy session at Oasis Colonics, gallons of water are circulated in and out of the colon. Throughout the session your colon therapist uses a combination of abdominal massage and breathing techniques to help promote the elimination of toxic waste.

One colon hydrotherapy session may be equivalent to having several regular bowel movements. As you continue colon therapy, future sessions can prove to be even more effective as the older, harder mucus coated feces are soften and dislodged from the colon walls. Utilizing colonics while taking cleansing products, or while on detox programs, can greatly help facilitate and maximize results.

Colon Hydrotherapy at Oasis Colonics in Portland, Oregon stimulates the five detoxifying organs in the body:

LIVER
*Produces and excretes bile required for emulsifying fats
*Aids the body in metabolizing fat, protein and carbohydrate
*Helps transform toxins into harmless agents

KIDNEYS
*Filters out waste and excess fluid from the blood
*Regulates the proper balance of sodium, phosphorus and potassium

SMALL INTESTINE
*Digests food for absorption of nutrients into the blood to the liver
*Provides a barrier that blocks toxins from the rest of the body

LARGE INTESTINE
*Absorbs water and electrolytes, forming waste to be excreted from the body
*Produces antibodies for gastrointestinal health
*Contains bacteria that create fatty acids and vitamins for nutritional support

SKIN
*Acts as a barrier to infections
*Prevents microorganisms and other substances from entering the body
*Excretes waste products and excess salt from the body
*Synthesizes Vitamin D for the absorption of calcium and phosphate

The large intestine or “colon” ranges between 4 — 6 feet in length. An enema merely flushes out the lower end of the colon where the waste matter (feces) collects. The average enema uses only about two quarts of water, while a colonic hydrotherapy treatment uses 15 to 30 gallons of water to flush out the entire lower bowel. Warm, purified water is introduced at the rate of one cup to two quarts at a time according to the body’s comfort and tolerance. The fecal matter is expelled . This action can soften and wash away impactions lining the colon or “lower bowel”.

The closed-system colonic devise used at Oasis Colonics allows water to gently irrigate the colon in a slow, comfortable manner. During a colonic, the body’s own natural peristalsis propels the waste material out by means of wave-like muscular contractions. The colon cleansing “machine” is NOT a type of internal vacuum cleaner or waste extractor, nor is it a pressure hose. It’s function can be understood as a technologically advanced “enema bag” that administers water into the colon while simultaneously monitoring temperature and pressure ensuring safety and efficacy.

We shower, brush our teeth and wash our hair on a daily basis, but we tend to ignore cleaning our insides until discomfort and disease sends us a wake-up call.

The colon benefits from periodic, thorough cleansing too. Constipation, skin eruptions, headaches, joint pain, gas, bloating, stomach aches, chronic fatigue, weight gain, parasites and digestive problems can all be signs of a toxic colon.

People often suffer silently from these painful, and often embarrassing, health conditions. Colon cleansing can help.

Getting colonics is like deep cleaning your home. Sometimes you need to move the stove, refrigerator and heavy furniture in order to deep clean the corners, nooks and crannies of your well lived-in spaces.

Your colon may also be the carrier of unwanted extra weight and toxicity. The uncomfortable bloating around your abdomen may likely begin deep in your bowels, and be a breeding-ground for unhealthy bacteria, and advancing disease. It’s time for a change!

Comfortable and modest colonic treatments assist the body to eliminate old, built-up waste material. Colon hydrotherapy helps in reducing the toxic load on the liver. This process is especially effective in support of a detox program, cleansing diet and/or weight loss regime.

**Whenever you use ANY cleansing protocol, GET COLONICS. It’s like cleaning your house with the windows open.

Oasis Colonics in Portland, Oregon uses state-of-the-art, sanitary, closed-system, FDA-registered colon hydrotherapy equipment with ultra-violet water filtration. Treatments are administered by an experienced colonic therapist.
