The concept of colon hydrotherapy
Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colon hydrotherapy, colon pathway treatment, is a new treatment method of drug delivery and detoxification through the colon hydrotherapy instrument. Since ancient times, both Chinese and Western medicine have the theory that “the colon is the source of all diseases”. Colon hydrotherapy professional equipment is the United States 20 years ago to improve and manufacture of intestinal cleansing equipment, the Spanish 10 years ago relying on electronic high-tech technology to improve the colon hydrotherapy instrument, so that colon hydrotherapy has become a fitness treatment technology.
The mechanism of colon hydrotherapy apparatus
Colon hydrotherapy is the establishment of an effective dialysis system in the colon cavity through a colonic irrigation therapy machine, which uses the potential absorption and excretion functions of the colon itself to remove harmful metabolites and toxins from the intestinal cavity and mucosa.
Principle: 8~10L of filtered water is gently injected deep into the colon through the anus to soften and dilute the lodged stool on the colon wall and stimulate intestinal peristalsis, which facilitates fecal excretion. The promotion of defecation is not a simple mechanical stimulation, but affects a series of complex neural reflexes. Mechanical stimulation causes mucosal nerve impulses in the lumen of the intestine, causing intestinal movements, which can be transmitted to the brain to produce the defecation reflex.
Clinical advantages of colon hydrotherapy
The large mucosal area of the colon allows for rapid absorption of the drug and a large absorption volume, thus maximizing the effect of the drug;
The administration of drugs through the colon avoids the first-pass effect of the liver and the metabolic process of the liver and kidneys through oral and injectable drugs, thus reducing the burden on the liver and kidneys of patients who have lost liver and kidney functions;
Using advanced technical equipment, the treatment process can reach the high colon, which can fully cleanse the intestine and make the drug more fully contact with the intestinal wall and be absorbed, which is better than the traditional rectal manual drug delivery;
When using colonic route treatment to retain the enema, it can reach the high colon, which can prolong the time of drug flow into the sigmoid colon, delay the time of causing defecation reflex, avoid the phenomenon of frequent defecation of patients, realize long time retention enema, and make the drug play the therapeutic effect for a longer time.
Colon route treatment adopts computerized automatic control program and automatic monitoring system, which fully ensures the safety and effectiveness of clinical treatment.
Clinical application of colon hydrotherapy
(A) intestinal diseases
1.Ulcerative colitis
Colon hydrotherapy with targeted treatment of ulcerative colitis drugs, so that the drug is fully in contact with the intestinal wall, absorption, increase the therapeutic concentration of drugs, reduce hormonal adverse reactions, to achieve therapeutic effects.
2, intestinal flora imbalance
Normal human intestinal flora according to a certain proportion of the combination, the flora between each other, interdependent, forming a kind of ecological balance, once the internal and external environment of the body changes, it causes the normal flora imbalance. It can often cause diarrhea or constipation. Clinically, you can try to use the colon hydrotherapy instrument with the corresponding drugs to treat intestinal flora disorders.
3, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disease related to abnormal intestinal dynamics and visceral foreign bodies. It has symptoms such as change in bowel habits, diarrhea, abdominal pain and abdominal distension, and so on, with continuous or intermittent episodes. It is a group of syndromes that have been examined without organic diseases. Can be treated by colon hydrotherapy instrument repeated intestinal cleansing after injection of microecological agents.
4.Functional constipation
Colon hydrotherapy through the role of water pressure, direct stimulation of the intestinal wall, and re-establish the normal peristalsis of the colon smooth muscle, restore and promote intestinal peristalsis and intestinal function, to achieve the purpose of both primary and secondary treatment.
5.Low intestinal obstruction
Low intestinal obstruction is mostly caused by fecal masses, tumors, intestinal parasites and so on. Fecal impaction is a serious complication of constipation, the patient has the intention of stool, but can not expel stool, very painful, if it occurs in the elderly, intestinal obstruction, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergencies may occur.
Performing barium enema and other examinations after cleaning the intestine, the lesion site can be found in time, and for intestinal obstruction due to suspected tumor, it is not only good for diagnosis, but also provides good intestinal preparation for surgery.
6, colonoscopy and colon surgery before intestinal preparation
Colon hydrotherapy can thoroughly cleanse the intestine and no significant adverse reactions, and is increasingly used in colonoscopy and intestinal preparation before surgery.
Colon hydrotherapy is less likely to cause acute intestinal obstruction and electrolyte disturbance, and is particularly suitable for patients with organic pathologies such as heart, lung, liver and kidney, and is superior to traditional enemas in terms of safety and efficacy.
(II) Liver disease
The key to the treatment of severe hepatitis is to correct the disorder of the internal environment and remove harmful substances.
Colon hydrotherapy flushes the intestine of accumulated blood and other nitrogenous substances, bacteria and their metabolites. Reducing the production and absorption of ammonia is also effective in the prevention and treatment of hepatic encephalopathy.
(C) Chronic renal insufficiency
Chronic renal insufficiency is a clinical syndrome manifested by the retention of nitrogenous metabolites and abnormalities in body metabolism. The intestine is one of the main ways of urea nitrogen and creatinine excretion. When renal function is impaired, the body excretes metabolites obstructed, and the content of urea nitrogen and creatinine excreted to the intestine increases. Colonic pouch is conducive to drug accumulation and absorption, and the drug enters the colon with the zigzag and forms a small dialysis pool to improve the efficacy.
(iv) Acute poisoning
Acute intoxication, the poison can be absorbed through the intestine, participate in the hepatic and intestinal circulation, forming more toxic substances, repeatedly absorbed, and seriously damage the organism.
(E) pelvic inflammatory disease
Colon hydrotherapy with Chinese medicine retention enema treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, because colon hydrotherapy drugs in the colon and rectum for a long time, the drug quickly diffuse in the pelvic cavity, promoting the absorption of inflammation.
(VI) Other diseases
It is also used clinically for the treatment of fever and electrolyte disorders, etc. For different conditions, different enemas are repeatedly infused to cleanse the intestines and utilize the absorption function of the colon to improve the clinical symptoms of the disease.
