Colonic Hydrotherapy Types

Oct 6

Inner Angel Digestive Health Clinic and International Training School in Colonic Hydrotherapy offers 3 colonic irrigation suites. We have two conventional cleansing systems (closed system), and a state of the art ultra-modern Angel Advanced medical system (open system).

Let’s look at the differences between the two types of cleansing devices:

Closed System Colonic

During a closed system treatment, you lay on a therapy bed, initially on your side, for the practitioner to gently insert the speculum 2-3 inches into the colon, just past the sphincter muscle. The speculum comfortable holds the anus open during the session, thereby removing the need for the client to push the waste out. Once the speculum is in and the larger (waste) tube is attached, you turn over onto your back. If you like, your therapist can raise your headrest up for you to see the viewing tube throughout the session.

You lie comfortably in that position for 30-40 minutes. Your therapist controls the gentle flow of temperature-controlled purely filtered warm water from the fresh water inlet into the colon. The gentle flow hydrates and softens the stool, which can flow freely though your disposable waste tube, through the system viewing tube, and straight to the sewers.

The waste is “closed” to the air, hence the term “closed-system”, no open lines of water or waste. Your practitioner may help the waste release along by using some gentle abdominal massage. Your practitioner remains with you for the entire procedure. As with all types of colonic hydrotherapy, your highly trained and qualified practitioner will administer aftercare advice to help support you towards your health goals.

We offer a range of prices to suit any budget. You can choose from your fully accredited therapist, or be added to our student waiting list.
A student session would take place with a Health Professional practitioner training towards their Colonic Hydrotherapy qualification. These sessions may at times be overseen by the Clinic Director for monitoring purposes.
Please email Amanda if you would like to be considered for a student case study.

Open System Colonic

The Open system Advanced cleansing system is the latest design in colonic hydrotherapy medical devices. Amanda trained to the highest level in Colonic Hydrotherapy (Instructor level) and undertook open system medical device training in America. Since she brought this innovative cleansing method to Ireland, she has seen a huge uptake in cleansing from at-risk groups.

When Amanda studied Public Health and Bowel Cancer at Masters level, she realised those with Irish ancestry, particularly men, are at increased risk of bowel cancer. Uptakes to national screening programmes are poor, with many discarding their stool sample testing kit. Furthermore, digestive health remain a taboo subject. Amanda’s mission is to boost public health awareness of maintaining a healthy balanced gut, and to prevent ill health later on.

Inner Angel Colon Cleanse Therapy — **Since introducing the Angel Advanced Medical system**

Inner Angel has seen a surge in males visiting the clinic due to digestive ailments, desire to manage cardiovascular health markers, weight control and stress management, or those in pursuit of healthier ageing.
Much of this may be owed to the level of privacy this colonic hydrotherapy method allows, the pencil thin tube, and heightened awareness of the importance of maintaining a healthy gut for overall health.
Colonic hydrotherapy and the associated aftercare from Registered Nutritionists is the perfect recipe for achieving your health goals.

We use the Open system as rehabilitation for those with weakened peristalsis over time, or “lazy bowel syndrome” whether due to frequent use of laxatives or a neurological disorder. As the client actively pushes throughout the session as if going to the bathroom, this provides a better “work out” for the gut and a deeper cleanse. Your therapist can provide insight into problem areas and specific objectives tailored to help the client progress.

Amanda Angel room — **Practitioners to match your health needs**

As the Open system has further device training requirements, only select practitioners are trained to this level. We advise starting with the Advanced Colonic with Health Consultation, as a therapeutic approach for targeting specific ailments.
Where as Maintenance clients are happy to use the Angel open system for general preventative care. These clients may be happy with more privacy to relax and enjoy Netflix or Meditation.

We can help match you up with the most suitable practitioner for your needs, whether that be for digestive health, skin aesthetics, weight management or for those choosing colon cleansing for sports and physical performance.

How the Open system works

After some education on how the system operates, you are shown how to position yourself on the form fitted bed and how to put in the small pencil-thin rectal tube.
The practitioner leaves the room whilst you undress from the waist down, position yourself on the bed and insert your lubricated tube and then cover yourself up, maintaining your modesty.
You then ring the nurse call bell for the practitioner to return. The lid is then fitted to the end of the bed. You can either raise your legs or place them on the ledge to the side of the bed. You always remain covered throughout.

The practitioner starts the water flow and explains how to turn it off if at all you become uncomfortable. The Angel device has an exhaust air filtration system ensuring an odour free treatment.

As the water trickles in and you get the urge to defecate or push out, you do so. The water and the faecal matter goes around the small tube and drops through the contour toilet basin under your bottom.

The waste water flows away through the view tube, which you can watch in the view tube mirror. During the session you can receive hot packs and massage and also some advice on how to get the best from your session.

One of the beauties of the open system is if you wish, you can have some time alone as people often release and let go better if alone. This does not mean you are left completely as the practitioner is only just behind the door. We are extremely professional clinicians and your safety is of utmost importance.

We only offer privacy where requested and as you feel comfortable. The clinic room is complete with Netflix, Meditations and essential oils so we can totally tailor the session to your needs.
