cleanse yourself...inside and out

I'm sure you've all thought about it at some point in time. Yeah, I said it. Getting a colonic isn't the most glamourous spa treatment you can request but it definitely does the trick when you want to clean your system of toxins. Here's a story I did on DiscoverSD.com about Inner Bliss.

For the last few years, I've been interested in colon hydrotherapy, also known as a colonic. I try to eat all organic products and stay away from refined foods as much as possible. I exercise regularly and often times feel like I still need that extra push to get my body to its best capacity. A friend of mine referred me to Inner Bliss Rejuvenation Center in Encinitas for colon hydrotherapy to clean out accumulated waste material in my colon.

Inner Bliss shines with Asian-inspired décor, and is adorned in aromatic candles. Rebecca Enders, the owner, offers diet and lifestyle consulting and designs customized cleanse programs for clients, in addition to colon hydrotherapy. She gave me a detailed explanation of the process, which involves introducing a gentle flow of purified, body temperature water into the colon to soften and eliminate debris. A colonic is especially helpful for those with bloating, gas, low energy, food cravings, and those looking for more normal bowel movements.

I was a bit nervous during my first session, but Rebecca reminded me to breathe and used aromatherapy, gentle massage, acupressure, and foot reflexology to calm my nerves. The session lasted about 45 minutes, during which my colon was gently filled and released and rid of accumulated waste material. For the curious readers out there, you can also see what comes out of your body because the debris passes through a clear and well-lit tube.

After my session, I definitely felt lighter, relaxed and rejuvenated. Be sure to drink plenty of water afterward and don't eat anything too heavy as your body is still detoxifying and eliminating toxins. If you have ever been curious about what can accumulate in your colon, or just want to detox so that you feel more vibrant and energetic, look into colon hydrotherapy and you'll definitely be happy with the results.
