Healing Within Wellness Center in Shoreview, MN uses an FDA-approved gravity-system Toxygen Model BSC-UV colonic instrument manufactured by Dotolo Research Inc.
This professional closed system creates an entirely sterile and odorless experience. A temperature and pressure gauge helps keep you as comfortable as possible while filtered water is fed into your colon using gravity. The closed gravity system utilizes water that is purified using particle and carbon filters and an ultraviolet lamp. As the water enters your colon, it's simultaneously released through another tube, allowing for a gentle release. The therapist can then monitor the pressurized system process to keep you feeling comfortable. Here is the process:
Once you're on the table, a lubricated speculum about 1 inch in diameter is inserted by the client and/or colon hydrotherapist about 3 1/2 inches into the anal canal on the exhale or during a series of exhales. There is an electric lift table to accommodate those in wheelchairs and others who have difficulty getting up and down from the table.
Water enters the colon through the new sanitized tubing at a gentle pressure, with possible short fills.
The session consists of fills and evacuation cycles. The number of cycles during a session can be a few or up to several. With each cycle, a small quantity of water enters the colon through the tube and speculum until peristalsis starts to evacuate the colon's contents. The colon waste is then released through the speculum into the tube, where it is washed into the plumbing drainage. Water pressure and a backflow prevention valve keep waste from entering the water tube.
The flow rate is adjusted by the therapist using the control valve. If each fill cycle were added together during the approximately 45-minute session, the accumulated total of water, which passes through the colon, would be two to six quarts of water.

An open colonic system refers to how waste and water are eliminated from the body. The client self-inserts a sterile, disposable, pinkie-sized rectal nozzle 1 to 1 1/5" into the anal opening just past the sphincter muscle. Laying comfortably on the back and covered up the entire time, the client turns the water on and can adjust the water flow rate. When the sensation to eliminate occurs, the client initiates the release by bearing down just like they would on the toilet. The waste and water are eliminated out around the nozzle, not into it, and the sphincter muscle allows for the elimination. The process continues until the client feels evacuated and is running clear. This process takes approximately 30 to 50 minutes.

Colonics are used as an alternative method for colonoscopy preparation by gently removing waste without using harsh chemicals. The pre-cleansing medical routine used to prepare for a colonoscopy can be intimidating. Receiving a gentle colonic and juice cleanse support from our team of colonics experts before a colonoscopy may remove the stress of preparing for this important screening procedure.
