How It Works

Colonic hydrotherapy is gentle and hygienic

Colonic hydrotherapy is gentle, hygienic and can make you feel amazing. Your session will gently flush your colon of toxins and accumulated waste while keeping your body hydrated and stable. Elimination and hydration at the same time.

Are you feeling unwell, lacking in energy, consistently sick, fatigued or just not yourself? You’ve come to the right place. We want to restore joy, energy and vitality back into your life through colon hydrotherapy.

It doesn’t hurt, it’s safe, private and comfortable!

We realise there is a bit of uncertainty, concerns and misperceptions of what is involved when you have a colonic. So let’s dive straight in by explaining the difference between the most common types of colonics.

Traditional closed colonic

  • Works with the large colon
  • Aims to remove waste from the colon
  • Uses massage to stimulate the colon to release
  • Uses a higher flow rate to remove waste

Colonic irrigation

A procedure where you are lying on a purpose-built bed with a hole for the waste to release while running water continuously flows into the colon. This treatment relies on the integrity of the colon to hold and release. Typically you are by yourself during the session.

What Rojas colonics does for our body

When we think about colonics, most people think it’s just about elimination. That’s not quite right! Bottoms Up ‘Rojas Colonics’ are far more powerful than that!

Our unique Rojas colonic technique supports and enhances the body in four magnificent ways:

ELIMINATION – Much like weeding your garden or taking out the rubbish, we also need to empty our internal garbage. A build-up of waste (old poop, yeast, toxins, parasites, worms, bacteria) can lead to a plethora of digestive and other health complications. This includes gut dysbiosis, auto-immune conditions, mood disorders, diminished energy and vitality, congested detox pathways, and inflammation – to name a few!

ABSORPTION – When we start to soak, soften and remove the hardened biofilm (plaque) that coats and covers the lining of the large and small intestines, we exponentially increase our body’s capacity to absorb. All too often, unknowingly we are not adequately absorbing all of the amazing nutrients we are eating and drinking. As the saying goes, “We are what we absorb.” If our absorption capacity is impaired, we can be left feeling fatigued or having unresolved health issues.

DETOXIFICATION – Every moment of every day, our body is ridding itself of waste, toxins and expired cells. The simple act of breathing means our cells are producing waste. Rojas colon hydrotherapy supports and enhances the productivity of the entire digestive system and its accessory organs including the liver, pancreas, gall bladder, and kidneys. Our unique Rojas colonics method helps to relieve our overloaded detoxification and elimination pathway. This gives the body space to focus on other important life-enhancing processes such as a healthy, robust immune system.

But what holds it altogether? Hydration!

HYDRATION – Unlike traditional colonics, we’re not hosing the water in hard and fast. Instead, at Bottoms Up Colonics, we use a slow and gentle fill method called the Rojas technique. This process optimises and enhances the absorption of water from the bowel through our mesenteric venous system. This results in incredible, cellular hydration of the bowel and the whole body! Hello, energy, clarity, improved blood circulation, anti-aging and way more!

In addition to our Rojas technique, our water at Bottoms Up Colonics in Nerang is triple-filtered and structured. Structured water still has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen molecule (H2O). The arrangement of these atoms is in a slightly different configuration which means the water becomes ‘charged.’ Structured water can deliver electromagnetic energy straight to your mitochondria – the energy powerhouse of your cells. Structured water has been shown to optimise hydration, enhance energy production, slow down the aging process and decrease inflammation.
Without hydration, the body cannot heal and restore balance. Enhanced cellular hydration to create radical wellbeing is our vision for the future!

How it works

How do I prepare?

We encourage you to try to stay well hydrated for the days leading up to your session and after by eating nourishing, high-quality, nutrient-dense foods prior including soups, low-sugar smoothies and vegetable juices, cooked vegetables, and high-quality protein and healthy fats, such as avocado, olives and ghee.

What happens at my appointment?

  1. Arrive at your appointment a little earlier to fill out our new client form. This form is really important and will ask you a range of questions including any symptoms you are experiencing (gastro intestinal, mental health, hormonal, auto-immune and skin), previous diagnosis, your daily habits (diet, exercise, sleep, work) and regularity of your movements.
  2. Once you complete the form, your therapist will take you into the room where you will do a gut and health assessment. This is our opportunity to get to know you. We encourage you to tell your therapist why you’ve come in and any further concerns you may have. This is all confidential.
  3. The therapist will explain the digestion process including food, the role of water and our internal organs and how the hydrotherapy session will impact you on a physical and mental level.
  4. The therapist will kindly ask you to remove your bottom undergarments and place a clean sheet on you for privacy while they are out of the room. The therapist will re-enter the room when you are ready and insert the small, medical grade colonic speculum into your bottom while you are lying slightly on your left side.
  5. The tubing attached to the small speculum has an inlet and outlet to allow for a steady and slow cleansing flush with continuous water flow.
  6. You will then be asked to lie on your back and the process will start with the therapists rubbing peppermint oil on your tummy and massaging it gently. This and the session parts described below takes approximately 40 minutes.
  7. You will be guided the whole time by your therapist and asked if you are uncomfortable in your belly or not before you release. The release goes through the tubing that goes through the device that is plumbed into the waste so there is no mess or smell.
  8. Once the release takes place, you will be hydrated and may receive nutritional and/or probiotic infusions or medical grade ozone, depending on your needs.
  9. After your session we encourage you to visit the toilet for any further release and to put your undergarments back on.
  10. You will then be guided out to our reception area for some probiotics and to sit for a little while in case you need to visit the toilet again.
  11. After your treatment, you can expect to feel clean, empty, refreshed, energetic, light and clear-headed. Your tummy will be flat and you may also find that you lose up to 3 or 4 kilos from a single treatment.
  12. If you have any concerns, please call your therapist straight away.
How it Works

What happens after your appointment?

  1. Be kind to your body and treat it with care with foods that can easily be digested such as soups and cooked vegetables. Your body is now ready for extra nutrition absorption so give it the nutrients it loves and deserves.
  2. Keep your hydration levels up by drinking lots of filtered water and avoid alcohol and sugary drinks.
  3. Exercise and movement – you will really need to assess how you feel as some people feel amazing while others can feel a little different. Don’t push yourself as you’ve just detoxified your body. You can always exercise tomorrow.

How it Works

What benefits can you expect from a flush?

Did you know the colon is the “second brain” in our bodies, with more neurotransmitters than our spine? It’s also where we produce and store serotonin (our happy drug). Cleansing the body of toxins can benefit you emotionally as well as physically so that you have:

  • Less headaches
  • Increased energy levels
  • Sharper thinking
  • Clearer skin
  • Weight loss
  • A natural desire to eat well
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Improved state of mind
  • Improved PMT symptoms
