Colon Hydrotherapy at Feel Good Balham this Autumn

Why is Colon Hydrotherapy recommend in Autumn?

Colonic Hydrotherapy/Colonic is a treatment where warm water is gently introduced into the colon to flush out waste. In natural health some people recommend it at certain times of year—including autumn.

Seasonal Perspective

Autumn as a cleansing season: In many traditional systems (like Ayurveda and TCM), autumn is considered a natural time of transition—moving from the warmth and activity of summer to the cooler, slower winter. Cleansing practices, including colonics, are thought to help the body “reset” for the cooler months.

Supporting immunity: Clearing waste and improving digestion before winter may help the immune system, since much of immunity is connected to gut health.

Letting go, emotionally and physically: Autumn is symbolically about release. Colonics can be seen as a way to let go of what the body doesn’t need.

Physiological Perspective

Digestive reset: After summer indulgences, the digestive system may feel sluggish. A colonic can help some people feel lighter and less bloated.

Preparing for heavier foods: Autumn diets often shift toward warmer, richer meals. Cleansing before this transition may support smoother digestion.

Hydration and fiber boost: Colonics often encourage people to drink more water and eat more fiber afterward, which can have real, lasting benefits.
