Where Did Colonics Originate? - About Optimal Wellness

Where Did Colonics Originate?

Colonics are not new to the holistic community. Written about in 1500 AD, colon care through water irrigation was often times the first modality used when treating a person with an imbalance in the body. Centuries later we are being pulled back to what is tried and true. Western medicine and the Western paradigm have its limitations, while a holistic viewpoint looks at all the body systems working synergistically together. It is my pleasure to work with open-minded, conscious, truth-seekers ready to take personal responsibility for their good health.

Colonics have been part of holistic health for centuries, dating back to 1500 AD when water irrigation was used to treat body imbalances. Today, we’re rediscovering these effective methods. Unlike Western medicine, which has its limits, holistic approaches see the body as a connected whole. I’m excited to work with open- minded people who are ready to take charge of their health and well-being. The link between gut health, digestion, and brain function is fascinating and increasingly recognised. Think of the gut as a “second brain” that’s bustling with activity. This busy network of gut microbes helps with digestion and produces neurotransmitters like serotonin, which boosts our mood and keeps us feeling sharp. Good digestion ensures we get all the nutrients our brain needs to stay focused and happy. Plus, the gut and brain are constantly chatting with each other, influencing how we feel and respond to stress. So, when our gut is happy and healthy, our mind tends to follow suit, highlighting the amazing connection between what we eat, how we digest, and how we think and feel.

What Is Colon Hydrotherapy?

What Is Colon Hydrotherapy?

Colon hydrotherapy, also known as Colon Irrigation or Colon Cleansing is a gentle internal bath that helps to clean the colon of waste, gas, mucous and toxins. It is a simple and safe treatment that involves the introduction of warm, filtered water into the colon, cleansing the bowel and giving it a soothing internal massage.

The water works in two ways: firstly, it cleans out waste in the colon, and secondly, it stimulates peristalsis which encourages proper bowel function, helping to return your digestive system to a more natural, healthy state.

In recent years, colon hydrotherapy has gained popularity in Ireland and around the world as people recognize the importance of maintaining good gut health. Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, is a safe and effective way to cleanse the large intestine, helping to remove toxins and improve overall well-being. But what exactly is colon hydrotherapy, and how can it benefit you? 

What Does A Colonic Treatment Involve

Your first appointment will include a consultation, medical questionnaire with a full explanation of the equipment and procedure. 

A single-use disposable speculum is gently inserted and warm filtered water is gently introduced into the colon via the rectum. The abdomen is massaged at stages throughout the colonic, which can help loosen impacted waste and mucous which is then drained away discreetly. We also use an array of colonic enhancements to help eradicate bacteria, parasites, help reduce tiredness and increase well being. Herbs may be used to stimulate or relax the bowels depending on your bowels. Coffee or probiotic implants may be used after a colonic should a client request them and the therapist feels the client will benefit from this. This a very comfortable treatment and not painful. We use a closed system machine which means the temperature and pressure is carefully controlled. Clean filtered water is fed gently into the bowel and the water and waste is flushed out through a pipe, ensuring no fuss, no mess and no smells! The therapist will be with you throughout the treatment.

Erika Doolan BA (HONS DIP).NT FPCH RICTAT

I have always had passion for health and nutrition. In 2001, I faced some health challenges including gut health issues and turned to nutritional therapy to improve my own well-being. The positive impact of lifestyle and dietary changes was incredibly empowering, and this experience sparked my desire to help others achieve better health. This motivation led me to train as a Nutritional Therapist at the Irish Holistic Medical Centre, College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) and at the Walshe Research Institute. I am a qualified Colon Hydrotherapist, fully insured and a member of RICTAT & NTΟΙ.  I can never learn enough in this field of health and nutrition – it is an endless journey of discovery. It is both a challenge and a gift to be constantly learning, evolving and deepening my knowledge. The more I learn the more fascinated I become. I want to help others see and feel these incredible benefits. 

Nutritional Therapy and Colon Hydrotherapy are two therapies that complement each other beautifully. Clients feel so much better after a colonic treatment which motivates them into making long lasting changes to their overall health and wellbeing. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and educating clients, empowering them to take charge of their health. I walk you through it step by step, empowering you to learn more about your body, inspiring you to heal yourself & ground you to truly experience radiant health. If you are new to colon hydrotherapy then

I recently visited Optimal Wellness for a colon hydrotherapy session, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed with the treatment I received from Erica. As an older woman who had never had this treatment before, I was a little nervous initially, but Erica walked me through the process every step of the way. She was incredibly pleasant and extremely helpful, which put me completely at ease. I ended up really enjoying the experience and felt great afterward. I left feeling very satisfied and would highly recommend her treatment to any woman. I’m already looking forward to my next session as soon as Erica recommends I return.

I recently had colon hydrotherapy at Optimal Wellness, and I can’t recommend Erika enough. I was pretty nervous before my first session, but she made me feel so at ease. She’s super professional, explained everything really clearly, and the treatment room was cosy and relaxing, which helped me feel comfortable straight away.After just one session, I felt less bloated, my migraines stopped, and my head felt so much clearer. By the time I finished three sessions, I felt like a completely new person. I even lost some weight, which was a great bonus!Erika is amazing at what she does, and the whole experience was so much better than I expected. If you’re thinking about trying colon hydrotherapy, I’d definitely recommend giving Optimal Wellness a go!
