Colon hydrotherapy costs $100 to $150 per session on average, depending on your provider’s experience level, the location, and whether you add on any extra treatments. 

If you anticipate needing multiple treatments, you can save about $20 per session by signing up for a package with several sessions. These packages often expire after a certain number of months, so be sure to use them within the set time frame.

Colon hydrotherapy is a therapeudic treatment that uses water to clear waste out of the large intestine. This procedure is also known as a colonic or colonic irrigation. A specialized device sends water into the colon through the rectum. During the procedure, you can control the pressure and temperature of the water.

While many people claim colon hydrotherapy improves overall health, scientists haven’t done enough studies to verify this. It is most effective for specific issues like constipation or preparing for a colonoscopy.

After colon hydrotherapy, you should eat light, easily digestible foods and drink plenty of fluids. This includes soups, bread, fruit, or steamed vegetables. On the other hand, you should reduce consumption of harder-to-digest foods like raw veggies or meat.

Colon hydrotherapy is considered a safe procedure. The pressure of the water may produce abdominal cramping similar to menstrual cramps, but most patients say any cramping is minor and only lasts a few moments. After the procedure, patients say they feel lighter and less bloated. 

Benefits vary from person to person, but many people report increased energy, reduced headaches, increased nutrient absorption, and clearer skin. 

Colon hydrotherapy is considered an elective procedure, meaning you don’t necessarily need to get it. However, specialists recommend treatments every 1 to 6 months to remove unwanted waste from the intestines. For specific conditions, they may recommend more frequent sessions over a shorter period of time.

Most colon hydrotherapy appointments take about 30 to 60 minutes, or a little more for new clients. If you add an extra service like a massage or coffee enema, your appointment will likely take longer.

Follow these steps to find a qualified colon hydrotherapy provider near you:

• Ask how much training they've had or which certifications they have.
• Weigh their experience and training against their treatment rates.
• Read clients’ reviews on Thervo and Google.
• Ask if they offer any package options or discounts.

Asking providers the following questions can help you make an informed choice:

• What type of equipment do you use? Can I control the pressure and temperature during the procedure?
• How long have you been performing colon irrigation treatments?
• What add-ons do you offer? How much do they cost?
• How long do your sessions usually last?
• Are there any side effects?
• What should I do after the treatment?
• Do you offer any packages for repeat appointments?
