Woods Gravity Colon Hydrotherapy introduces a distinctive closed-system approach, developed by Dr. Robert Woods and Dr. Norman Walker, which utilises gravity for gentle colon cleansing.
This technique relies on gravity to facilitate the natural movement of ultra-purified water in the body, to then soften and eliminate the toxins and waste.

Unlike other colonic irrigation methods, our treatment avoids the use of pressure, machines, pumps, or motors, ensuring a comfortable experience without the discomfort of intense pressure or water retention in the colon.

Additionally, regular colonics can aid in restoring the colon to its natural, healthy state. Years of issues like constipation, bloating, and reliance on laxatives can lead to colon malformation and inefficient elimination. Colonics help exercise the colon muscles, promoting better bowel movements, reducing gas, and alleviating bloating, thus enhancing overall colon health and function. By employing this gentle, gravity-based method, essential nutrients are absorbed more effectively, harmful bacteria are eliminated, and will be facilitated by a trained therapist who will be able to provide in-depth details about the progress of your treatment throughout the session.

Firstly, congratulations on exploring your options to enhance your wellness journey! If you are a first time client to Clear Water, we will take time to go through your intake form with you and answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Our clinic has a therapy bed and a toilet too so you can empty your bladder prior to the colonic. You will be required to remove your clothing from the waist down and then lie on the therapy bed for the colonic. A cover is provided for your dignity.

Once you are ready, the therapist will re-enter the room and will talk you through the next steps.

The treatment will entail your therapist inserting a stainless steel speculum (the size of a small finger) into the rectum. Ultra filtered water will then slowly enter the body to soften and eliminate the waste. Gentle abdominal massage is administered throughout the treatment to further optimise your results.

Your therapist will guide you through your experiences and be able to speak to what they are observing through the viewing tube.

Overall, colon hydrotherapy treatments are often described as both relieving and therapeutic.

Clients often share laughter with their therapist finding the experience to be relaxing and a time to catch-up with each other. Among regulars, widely recognised that colonics offer an enjoyable self-care experience.

Please allow 90 minutes for your initial appointment. All new clients will fill out a Client Intake Form and have a consultation with the therapist to analyse your health lifestyle history, lifestyle and understand your wellness goals, prior to the colonic session. All return sessions are 45-60 minutes which allows for any time you may need before and after the colonic.

• Before your session, it's best to avoid eating for approximately 1hr prior to your treatment, to give your digestive system a break and prevent any discomfort.
• Minimise drinking any fluids, even water, for 1 to 2 hours before your session to avoid your bladderbecoming full during the session.
• Carbonated drinks might lead to gas and discomfort during your session, so it's a good idea to steer clear of them.
• Make sure to keep yourself well-hydrated in the days leading up to your session. This will help your colon function smoothly and aid in getting rid of any built-up waste.
• Try adding more plant-based foods like fruits and veggies to your diet prior to your treatment. They repacked with fibre and water, both of which are crucial for a healthy colon.

Absolutely! Your colon can hold up to 15kgs of impacted matter. Even if you have 1-2 bowel movements daily, it can still indicate constipation. Despite consuming three meals a day and occasional snacks, due to different contributing factors, we may not eliminate all of the food matter during our bowel movements. Moreover, having regular daily bowel movements doesn't necessarily guarantee healthy stools. Our environment exposes us to significant levels of toxicity, from household chemicals to the food we consume, which can significantly impact our digestion, hormones, as well as our mental and physical well-being.

No. Laxatives are medical and chemical- based products, which only offer a temporary band aid effect for constipation.

Laxative dependency causes irritation of the gut lining and functional disorders in many people, promoting lazy bowel and leaky gut and over production of mucous, causing inflammation. Laxatives promote watery diarrhea which passes through the intestine but leaves hardened waste around the colon wall. The intestines only work to a limited extent as the inability to pass stools without laxatives becomes more prominent. Decreased ability to have a bowel movement naturally and mineral disturbances can affect the functioning of other organs such as the kidneys and heart.

Laxatives will not address other bowel concerns such as IBS, bloating, excess gas, candida, parasites etc and may even exacerbate these conditions. Withdrawal of laxatives will only make constipation worse.

Colonics use non-toxic, ultra purified water to strengthen and tone the colon muscle overtime to create its own peristalsis (colon muscle contractions ability to have a bowel movement). The body cannot become reliant on colonics. In fact, regular sessions strengthen the colon muscle to allow for the body to create its own regular peristalsis, naturally.

Colonics address many issues, not just constipation. They do not stimulate the bowel by stripping the lining of the gut and do not cause intense stomach cramping as stimulant laxatives do. Colonics do not aggravate other digestive issues like laxatives can.
