Experience the Benefits of Colonic Hydrotherapy
A gentle treatment designed to help you feel lighter, refreshed, and balanced
Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation or colonic lavage, is an holistic wellness treatment that involves the gentle flushing of the colon with purified water. It is a simple, safe and effective way to remove waste and toxins from the body, improve digestion, and support overall health and well-being.
Our colon hydrotherapy services use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure a comfortable and hygienic experience. We use only the highest-quality water and supplies.
Our trained therapist is knowledgeable and compassionate, and will guide you through the entire process. We offer single sessions or packages, as well as a consultation to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs.
What Is Involved in Colonic Hydrotherapy?
Colonic hydrotherapy in Leeds works in two important ways. Firstly, it gently cleanses waste from the colon. Secondly, it stimulates natural peristalsis — the muscular movement that supports healthy bowel function — helping your digestive system return to a more balanced, natural state.
Many people choose colonic hydrotherapy as part of a digestive health programme or to relieve common bowel issues such as constipation, bloating, IBS, and diarrhoea. Everyone can benefit, including those with regular daily bowel movements. Treatments are suitable for all adults, both men and women, aged 18 to 80+.

Your First Colonic Hydrotherapy Appointment
Your first session in Leeds usually lasts around 90 minutes. It includes a consultation, completion of a medical questionnaire, and a full explanation of the procedure and equipment so you feel fully informed and comfortable.
During the treatment, a small disposable speculum is gently inserted, allowing warm, filtered water to enter the colon. The abdomen is massaged at intervals to help loosen impacted waste and mucus, which is discreetly drained away.
A modern closed-system hydrotherapy machine ensures that temperature and pressure are carefully controlled. Clean, filtered water is gently introduced and waste is safely flushed away, with no odour and no physical exposure for either the client or therapist. This ensures a hygienic, private, and comfortable experience.

Colonic Hydrotherapy: Most common Questions
What are the potential benefits of colonics?
The potential benefits of colonic treatments are far-reaching. The treatment assists the body’s own mechanism by stimulating the nerves of the colon and helping to improve the motility of the lower bowel which ensures that the body’s waste is properly eliminated. Those clients who present with bowel-related symptoms are often amazed to find that seemingly unrelated problems are also resolved.
As no two people are the same, it is impossible to predict how you might feel following a course of treatment, but generally Colon Hydrotherapy can help to alleviate a variety of digestive issues, including constipation, bloating, and irregular bowel movements. It can also support weight loss, boost energy levels, and improve skin health. In addition, regular Colon Hydrotherapy can help to support the body’s natural detoxification processes and maintain optimal colon health.
Is colon hydrotherapy safe?
Yes, colon hydrotherapy is safe. There are a few health conditions which are contra-indicated for colonics and this will all be covered during your consultation. If you’re really concerned, you can drop Liz an email (hello@ebyogahealth.com) in advance of your appointment for clarification.
The water is introduced at a low gentle pressure, which is even lower than the pressure that stools exert on the bowel wall.
Is it a painful treatment?
The treatment does not cause pain, however it may feel a little odd and some people may experience some mild discomfort or cramping may occur when gas or waste wants to be released. You may experience a ‘strange’ sensation of wanting to go to the toilet but most people get used to this feeling in the first few minutes and even find the treatment unexpectedly relaxing and up-lifting.
How many treatments do I need?
Everyone is an individual and Liz advocates a personalised approach to the treatment regime. It all depends on your condition and on the results of the first treatment.
You will be advised how frequently you should have treatments to maintain your desired level of health as well as other measures such as dietary and lifestyle modifications.
You will be offered help and advice to assist you to achieve digestive regularity, experience higher levels of energy and maintain health without compromising on quality.
Are there any negative side effects?
Unlike regular use of laxatives, which encourage bowel laziness and have many negative side effects, colonic hydrotherapy is not habit forming and in fact, improves muscle tone.
Will I lose weight?
You may lose weight however you only lose waste not fat or cellulite. Most people feel lighter after the treatment. If you start eating less, increase your fibre intake, move or exercise more, chew better and drink more water, then you will be on your way to achieving a permanent weight loss.
