When Should You Not Have a Colonic?

Colonics, colon irrigation, or colon hydrotherapy as this ancient procedure is known, is safe for the vast majority of people who use the procedure. However, there are some circumstances or contraindications where it is not advisable. I will list them here: abdominal hernia, abdominal surgery, dialysis, abdominal distention, diverticulosis, diverticulitus, acute liver failure, fissures, fistulas, aneurysm (all types), hemmorrhoidectomy, carcinoma of the colon, intestinal perforations, chrohns disease, lupus, if you are currently taking any medications that may weaken the intestinal walls, if you have any renal insufficiencies.

Any of these situations, especially within the past 12 months, would require a physician's written authorization prior to the procedure being performed at the Nile Wellness Center. Again, all medical decsions should be made in consultation with a licensed healthcare provider. The Nile Wellness Center in Atlanta specializes in colonics, weight loss, and detoxification programs.
