Colonic Irrigation

Colonic Irrigation, or colon hydrotherapy as it is also known, involves the introduction of warm purified water to the colon in order to create a gentle cleanse. This cleansing effect can be increased by incorporating gentle abdominal massage techniques. Excess water and waste material is then drained away using a closed system. Using the most advanced Harley Street method, it is now possible to enjoy the powerful health giving benefits of colonic irrigation or colonic hydrotherapy at MEDISKIN.

The colon is large intestine or bowel is situated in the abdomen and forms the last part of the digestive tract.

An extremely important organ in its own right, it carries out a number of vital functions including the completion of the digestive process involving absorption of water soluble nutrients as well as the synthesis of certain vitamins.

The colon is a major part of the excretory system, and is responsible for eliminating food and other body wastes, as well as protecting us from infection and disease. In a normal functioning colon, all this is achieved with the help of billions of friendly bacteria, which inhabit weight of our faecal waste.

However, the delicate balance of this internal ecosystem can very easily be disturbed by a number of factors including stress, pollution, poor food and drink choices, certain drugs, smoking and exposure to toxic substances.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of colonic irrigation?

Makes the digestive system more effective

As the colon is cleansed, it pushes undigested waste through your system, clearing the way for good nutrient absorption. If waste remains in the body for too long, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and illness. A clean colon from a colon detox allows undigested waste to pass easily through your system.

Maintains regularity and prevents constipation

Constipation — especially when it's chronic — causes a sluggish digestive response, which in turn leaves waste in the system longer. This increases the likelihood that toxins will be released into the bloodstream. It is also a cause of other illnesses and irritations, such as hemorrhoids and varicose veins.

Increases energy

Releasing the toxins from your body is rejuvenating because it refocuses the energy usually used for forcing waste through your intestines to other parts of your body. People who have undergone colon detoxification say they have better blood circulation, more restful sleep and a boost in energy.

Increases the body's absorption of vitamins and nutrients

A colon that has been cleansed allows only water, vitamins and nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream, rather than releasing toxins and bacteria through the colon walls. When the colon is detoxified, it clears the way for essential nutrients to filter into your body unobstructed.

Improves concentration

Poor diet and ineffective vitamin absorption can cause you to become distracted and lose your concentration. The buildup of mucous and toxins in your colon can keep your body from getting what it needs to function, even if you eat a consistently healthy diet. Cleansing the colon with a detox diet can be the difference between feeling alert and not being able to focus. This has far-reaching ramifications for work, your relationships and your overall health.

Kick-starts weight loss

Foods lacking in fiber move through the digestive tract at one-quarter the pace of high-fiber choices. This slow-moving food produces excess mucous that literally sticks to the intestinal walls, weighing the intestinal tract down with pounds of decaying fecal matter.

Colon cleansing has the potential to aid weight loss; some people claim to have lost up to 20 pounds over the course of a month. The average human colon weighs about four pounds empty and can hold up to eight meals' worth of food before digestion finally occurs. A colon cleansing can result in significant weight loss and kick-start your metabolism, as well as refocus your attention on better food choices and whole-body wellness.

Decreases risk of colon cancer

All the toxins that you eat, drink, breathe in and absorb through your skin end up being processed by your gastrointestinal system and liver. If they are not forced from your colon and liver as quickly as possible, they can wreak havoc on your body's systems. By releasing stagnant body waste, you reduce the causes and the risk of polyps, cysts and cancerous growths in your colon and gastrointestinal tract.

Increases fertility

Colon cleansing, as well as increased fiber intake and healthy food choices, improves regularity and helps keep your weight under control. Fat is estrogen-based, and if too much is present, becoming pregnant becomes more difficult. A colon that is weighed down by years of buildup can also press on the uterus and surrounding reproductive organs in women, causing strain.

Colon cleansing rids the body of many chemicals and toxins that affect the egg and sperm. Many naturopaths recommend that both partners undergo colon cleansing before attempting pregnancy.

Maintains pH balance in the bloodstream

Foods that cause colon blockages are acid-forming — particularly high-protein diets without enough fiber. This leads to general malaise in the body. The tissue of the colon eventually becomes diseased and inflamed, reducing the colon's ability to do its job, which is to allow only water, minerals and vitamins to pass into the bloodstream. If yeasts, molds, fungus, bacteria, parasites or fecal material enter the bloodstream and connected tissue, the body's pH will be thrown out of balance.

Improves whole-body well-being

Ridding the colon of waste and toxins by releasing layers of colon buildup can lead to feelings of lightness, strength and overall good health.

What should I do following my colonic irrigation treatment?

Follow any specific advice on diet, supplements, exercise etc given to you by your therapist.

Don’t over eat.  Eat simply cooked or raw food and chew well.  A diet rich in fruit and vegetables ( especially dark green, leafy foods) will add to the cleansing effect and regulate bowels.

Don’t eat red meat (beef, lamb, pork and game) every day, white meat and fish and vegetarian meals are much easier to digest.

Eat only grains e.g. brown rice, wholemeal flour, NOT refined e.g., white flour products, pasta etc.

Avoid lots of mucus forming foods like refined grains, dairy products and eggs.

A small amount of water is absorbed during the colonic treatment and you may notice an increased need to urinate.  This is normal and will subside quickly.

Drink plenty of fluids.  If your digestion is weak don’t drink with meals or for 30 mins before, or 1 hour after meals.  Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours.

You may experience some flatulence and bowel sounds – this is due to the bowel bacteria multiplying back up to strength for up to 48 hours after treatments. Probiotic supplements/foods may be useful and the fruit and vegetables will help.

If griping occurs drink hot peppermint, Fennel or Chamomile infusions and avoid cold drinks, carbonated drinks and gassy foods.

Don’t expect a bowel movement the next day depending upon your conditions, it may take several days before normal bowel movements resume.

Avoid rigorous exercise and weigh lifting for 24 hours after treatment.

Moisture Burst from within with Skin Omegas+

The Skin Omegas+ supplements from Advanced Nutrition are a fantastic way of moisturising your skin from the inside out, reinforcing your topical moisturiser and serums. Containing omegas 3 and 6 essential fatty acids for healthy hydrated skin and enriched with Vitamin A for skin repair. These supplements boost your skins moisture content from the inside out, resulting in a plumped, glowing complexion and.

Omega 3 fatty acids are responsible for the health of the cell membrane. It is this membrane that influences the cells ability to hold water, having a nice, healthy barrier yields moister, softer, more subtle, and more wrinkle-free skin. Omega 3 has strong anti-inflammatory properties and may calm skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema and psoriasis. It can also help to minimize redness. Some nutritional studies have shown that omega-3 may protect against squamous cell skin cancers and decrease sunburn response.

Omega-6 has an anti-inflammatory affect on our skin, soothing irritated skin. GLA has been been used to reverse epidermal hyperproliferation, a condition when the skin cells reproduce at a faster than normal rate. This happens with skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema. GLA is absorbed into the skin and repairs the skin barrier, resulting in the skin retaining moisture and staying flexible. Omega-6 fatty acids are also necessary for moisturizing the scalp and supporting hair health.

Just 2 capsules of Skin Omegas has the same nutrient value as 30 portions of salmon! The fish oils contained within the capsules come from the bellies of the most nutritious fish available, mackerel and salmon.

To rehydrate dry skin it is recommended to take 2 capsules per day with food. For people with chronic dryness, eczema or psoriasis up to 8 capsules can be taken daily with food.

Skin Omegas+ are available to buy at MEDISKIN now for just €36

Skin Accumax - For Breakouts, Congestion and Acne

Skin Accumax from Advanced Nutrition is a supplement containing a ground-breaking ingredient DIM (a patented, highly active plant compound sourced from broccoli). These supplements are for people who suffer with acne, hormonal breakouts and excessive oil production. Containing a synergistic combination of skin-loving vitamins A,C and E and phytonutrients, and free from dairy, gluten, artificial flavouring and artificial colouring.

Unlike other acne fighting medication such as RoAccutane, Accumax does not dry out the skin. Completely free from harsh chemicals and drugs and using only the highest quality natural ingredients it is gentle on both skin and body.

There are many causes of acne and inflammation; excess sebum, hyper keratinisation, hormonal imbalance, bacteria on the skin, dietary intolerances and internal toxins. Skin Accumax can target all of these, resulting in a clear, fresh complexion.

It is recommended to take Accumax daily for at least 14 weeks. Depending on the severity of acne up to 8 capsules can be taken each day.

The image above shows the amazing results of taking Skin Accumax over a short period of time. These images have not been retouched.

When using Accumax it is still important to have a good skincare regime. Products containing oil fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid are recommended. Avoid anything which contains mineral oil, lanolin and talc as these lead to congestion and blocked pores. Cutting out dairy products has been proven to significantly reduce acne breakouts, as well as sugar and processed foods.

The alkaline diet for treating rosacea.

At MEDISKIN we are faced with clients suffering with rosacea every day. Rosacea is a very common vascular skin disorder that mainly afflicts adults between the ages of thirty and fifty–women nearly three times as often as men. It usually occurs over the cheeks and nose and looks like a sunburn. Some people will also get pimples that resemble acne. Rosacea can wax and wane; certain foods or alcohol or exposure to the sun can increase the problem.
Unfortunately, no one is certain precisely what causes rosacea, but studies have shown that it can be triggered due to food allergies and/or an imbalance of the digestive system.

A full body approach is the key to treating rosacea. . Roscaea is first and foremost a vascular disorder, so avoiding acid forming foods and keeping your diet as alkaline as possible has been proven to alleviate rosacea symptoms. We recommend our client look at their lifestyle and cut down on stress where they can. Taking up a relaxing exercise such as yoga can promote stress relief and give our clients a good sense of well being.

Here is a chart outlining what foods to avoid and what foods you should make a priority within your diet. The acid forming food list should be avoided to prevent the skin flushing and exacerbating rosacea symptoms.

Taking a probiotic will help your body maintain the normal balance of internal flora. Probiotics are available to buy at MEDISKIN for €19.95. A quarter level teaspoon of our probiotic powder typically contains Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bi fidus infantis, longum and brevis 16mg. The powder can be sprinkled over food or added to your drink.

At MEDISKIN we always recommend our clients keep a 3 week food diary. The goal is to determine each clients rosacea triggers by eliminating whole food groups and slowly reintroducing them back into the diet. This way the client knows what their triggers are and can take steps to avoid them.
