What is colon hydrotherapy?

Hydrosun plus - FAQColon Hydrotherapy (aka colonic, colon irrigation, high colonic, colon cleansing, colonic therapy) is the safe, gentle infusion of warm purified water into the rectum using no chemicals or drugs. This is a restorative, painless procedure that is both relaxing and effective. The individual lies comfortably on a custom treatment table and inserts a small speculum into the rectum. The therapist monitors the temperature of the water infused into and out of the colon (large intestine). The entire procedure takes approximately 45 minutes. The colon hydrotherapy method cleanses the entire colon without stressing the individual. The instrument features disposable components which eliminate any possible contamination from a previous treatment. Biotherapy Clinic uses a closed hydrotherapy system in which waste material is eliminated through the instrument and out a drain line, avoiding any offensive odor and maintaining the dignity of the individual.

How much is your colon hydrotherapy session?

$110 per session in San Francisco and Redwood City. Discounts and discounted programs are available. For a limited time, new clients can receive $10 off at our San Francisco and Redwood City Offices.
