The Profession
Colon Hydrotherapy may be added to numerous other therapies, or practised alone. It is a remarkably effective therapy for primary bowel problems and many secondary problems linked to poor bowel function. Therapeutic results are very rapid, often being noticed immediately after treatment, and the effects of herbal, homoeopathic or conventional treatments are often enhanced.
It is hardly surprising that demand for this therapy has grown so rapidly, thanks to favourable publicity and word-of-mouth recommendation from patients; at present, it is a "Cinderella" therapy, and there is a high demand for trained therapists to work in multi-practice clinics, health clubs and beauty clinics.
We are also training many doctors and nurses who are disillusioned with the NHS, and wish to have an effective therapy to work with.
The advantages of being a colon hydrotherapist are multiple: the satisfaction of seeing people recover from primary long-term problems of bowel and secondary problems of the skin, joints, digestion, etc., the monetary value of having a good business of your own, or adding to your present therapy.
Several colonics can be done daily at a charge of £40 to £90 per treatment, depending upon location. Other than the initial cost of equipment and training, overheads are relatively low.
Our resource list gives details and suppliers of both inexpensive gravity equipment and dedicated machines.
Colon Hydrotherapy, like all other therapies, will soon be regulated within the UK and EC countries; this should add to its professionalism, further improve public confidence and increase its acceptance by conventional medics. The National College of Colon Hydrotherapy are the only colonic teaching members of the General Naturopathic Council, and are at the forefront of shaping our future regulation.
