Time to Rejuvenate – it’s Spring!

Spring is a time characterized by birth, renewal, and energy. Seeing the way the warmer sun and air enlivens the world after months of dormancy is one of life’s true joys. Days become longer and the sunshine warmer. In sync with spring’s revival, our bodies also shift into a higher gear, letting us experience a welcome surge of energy. Almost instinctively, we clean

out our closets and throw open the windows to let in fresh air. But why limit spring cleaning to just our homes? Our bodies need it as well.

Winter time is when our bodies most often accumulate toxins . We More >

Gas, Gas and more Gas – an observation from the viewing tube

During these recent winter months, I heavily suspect the reason that I’ve encountered more clients than usual having high intestinal pressure / gas issues during their colonics is due to their diets gravitating more towards refined carbs (breads / pastries / pasta’s etc) along with refined sugars. Whilst these foods can be comforting and give us a quick energy boost (and hence help stave off the effects of the cold weather), their downside is that they tend to contribute significantly to creating excess gases throughout our digestive system. Cold weather aside though, truth is, having high intestinal pressure is far more the rule than the exception these days. As it’s an issue More >

Cleanse / Re-balance / Re-populate – The Keys to Recovering Intestinal Health

As the Colon Hydrotherapist here at Boda Wellbeing, I see plenty of people who come in with obvious issues with their intestinal health, be it digestion problems caused by food allergies (gluten, lactose intolerance etc), acid reflux, candida (yeast overgrowth), to IBS and Constipation etc. Then there is the portion of clients (probably 40-50%) who come in with regular bowel function and appear to have good digestion but want to tune-up and detox by clearing out toxins.

Despite the range of reasons and levels of health people come in with, the reality is that it’s  rare that I treat someone and not encounter quite significant symptoms of gastrointestinal More >

Constipation… Time to talk about it.

Constipation is a familiar condition for most of us at some point in our lives, usually it is temporary and resolves on its own, but for many it is chronic, frustrating, and can cause significant discomfort and problems. In fact the New England Journal of Medicine in October 2003, stated that constipation is a problem for up to 27% of the population of Western countries. Despite being a relatively common complaint though, constipation if it is discussed in public at all, is usually done in either hushed tones, or through a “joke”, so as to avoid embarrassment.

So, why is constipation, More >

Hydration: the key to any Detox Program

With beach weather not far away, a detox eating plan combined with colon hydrotherapy is a great way to throw off sluggishness and tone up before pulling out the swim wear. With water not far from the mind then, I thought it would be useful to take a moment to remind ourselves of the importance of water in the cleansing process.

With  detox very much in vogue these days there is no shortage of detox products, kits and programs out in the market, many of them promising amazing results in days.  Whilst some of these products can have dramatic detoxifying effects, what More >
