Colon Hydrotherapy Post-Graduate Course
About the Course
What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy – the therapeutic use of water internally in the colon – could be one of the most important naturopathic modalities available today. Many people are becoming toxic throughout their bodies, suffering from unexplained symptoms such as skin complaints and headaches, due to impaired colon function resulting from deficient diet, hydration and exercise. As a natural medicine practitioner, you and your patients will benefit from adding colon hydrotherapy to your therapeutic armoury.
After a colon hydrotherapy session, most people report feeling lighter and more refreshed, with renewed energy and appetite for life.
The postgraduate course in colon hydrotherapy at CNM will equip you to help many patients whose modern lifestyles are compromising the activity of this most important and yet often neglected organ.
