What is a colema?
A natural detoxification method that is regaining its popularity in modern society is colon hydrotherapy. It is the process of completely eliminating the pounds of waste accumulated in the colon by pumping water into the colon, with regulated pressure or simply by gravity. Likewise, massage or reflexology techniques are applied to the abdomen during the procedure to promote muscle contraction or peristalsis and promote the final elimination of accumulated waste.
There are licensed hydrotherapy clinics where trained therapists administer the procedure. There are two types of machines used in colon irrigation treatments: the closed tube system and the open basin system. Equipment is considered by law in the United States to be medical devices, as it is used to examine and treat certain medical conditions that, in effect, alter the function or structure of the human body. Both types of machine are FDA approved.
Additionally, there are home colon kits, also known as colema kits, available on the market. Most colema kits have been reviewed and approved by the FDA. However, there are some that are being released without FDA approval. Therefore, it is best to verify the validity of the company that produces the colema that you want to buy.
Typically, a colema kit includes a 5-gallon gravity tank, colema plate, tube, and speculum. Colema board has an opening at one end with a protective shield for removal and contamination purposes. Of course, the end of the table with the opening should be placed on top of the toilet, while the other end should be supported by a chair or any other support device to prevent it from falling over.
Colema is performed with the individual lying on the table with the buttocks positioned in the opening, against the shield. The 5 gallon gravity tank should rise 2 to 4 feet higher than the colonic board. The elevation creates a safe and comfortable pressure of 1 psi, which flows to the full length of the colon. The water to be used for the procedure should be sterile or purified and preferably close to body temperature. Furthermore, the specula used in colemas are similar to those used in open basin system colonics. It is as thin as a pencil, or perhaps narrower, and 4 to 12 inches long.
The speculum is designed to remain in the rectum for the entire session. The narrow design allows water to flow inward while allowing water and debris to be released around you and into the toilet. Abdominal breathing and abdominal massage techniques can be performed to aid in cleansing. Although the procedure can be self-administered, assistance will demonstrate that the procedure will be less difficult. The entire colon session can last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the condition of the colon. Instructions on the proper use of the equipment, as well as on disinfecting the equipment after use, can come with the kit.
The downside of colemas is that there may be people who perform the procedure incorrectly. Another case is the misuse of the treatment. Professional medical advice is really essential in this procedure.
