Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, is a procedure in which warm, filtered water is gently introduced into the large bowel via the rectum and then released.
It is considered a complementary practice and should not replace medical assessment or evidence-based treatment for ongoing digestive symptoms.
Colon hydrotherapy is sometimes used by people experiencing constipation, bloating or a feeling of incomplete bowel emptying. During a session, water is introduced into the colon in small amounts and allowed to drain, with the aim of flushing bowel contents.
A reputable practitioner should complete a health screening, explain contraindications and obtain informed consent. You will usually lie on your side or back while a disposable speculum and closed tubing system is used. Water is introduced and released in cycles over 30–45 minutes.
Some people report temporary relief from constipation or bloating. However, evidence for broader detox or cleansing claims is limited, and benefits are highly variable.
Potential risks include dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, bowel irritation, infection and, rarely, bowel perforation. Colon hydrotherapy should be avoided if you have inflammatory bowel disease flare-ups, diverticulitis, recent bowel surgery, significant haemorrhoids or rectal bleeding.
Seek GP advice if you have blood in your stool, unexplained weight loss, iron-deficiency anaemia, persistent abdominal pain or a new change in bowel habit that does not settle.
