4. avoid cold foods & drinks-sip on hot water with lemon in it during meals

15. BREATHE CONSCIOUSLY! Pay attention to your patterns and notice how often the breathing stops, especially when under stress.

Colon hydrotherapy is one of the very best ways to help open a stagnant bowel and train the system to relax. The infusion of warm filtered water in a safe, sanitary environment creates comfort as years of waste build up are gently washed away. We begin with a series of 3 sessions, one per day for 3 days. We suggest 2 Oxy-Powder first thing in the morning and last thing at night. It is often necessary to continue with the sessions on consecutive days until a breakthrough is experienced. Remember that it has taken years for this condition to develop and it will take time for new patterns to be put into place. With determination and the support of your certified colon hydrotherapist, small changes will begin to make a big difference.
