History of Colonic Treatments Even though it�s found popularity in recent years, colonic
treatments are nothing new. In fact, they have been practised in many
historical periods bringing health benefits. Over time the practice has become
much safer and is easier to carry out, but the reasons behind it stay the same. People
always want to be as healthy as they can be and this should be the same inside
and out.
Ancient Practice Health and medical treatments are not a modern invention and
the same can be said for colonic hydrotherapy. The practice can be traced back
to the Greek and Ancient Egyptian. Both cultures viewed the cleanliness of the
colon differently. For example, the Ancient Egyptians believed that toxins from
the intestine were responsible for pus, fevers and other illness.
Following on from this, in Ancient Greece the �four humours�
then become commonplace in medicine and treatment of conditions. These were different aspects of wellbeing that they believed
needed to be balanced for a person to be fit and healthy. This belief system
continued and has influenced today's modern approaches.
Advancements in Technology As time has gone on, there have been some significant
advances in how colonic treatments are carried out. With the development of
safer medical practice came a new approach. Dr John H. Kellogg used colonic
hydrotherapy on a lot of his patients and in 1917 commented on the success he
had received.
The doctor claimed that in over 40,000 cases of
gastrointestinal disease he had only resorted to surgery 20 times. Other approaches
used as treatment include changes to diet, exercise as well as colon treatments.
