Nutritional Recommendations:
Regardless of getting colonics these helpful suggestions can improve bowel movements and support more productive releases.  In the days leading up to your colonic, keep these simple tips front of mind:

• Chew your food till it is liquid,
• Drink half your body weight in ounces (e.g. 160lb person drinks 10 eight ounce glasses of water).  For every cup of coffee or alcohol you drink, add another 8 oz. glass of water,
• Avoid pasta, pizza, cereals and gluten,
• Increase vegetable and fruits,
• Choose chicken and fish over beef and pork (remember to chew till liquid).

 

2 hours prior to session:

• Refrain from eating to avoid a full stomach. If you are hungry or your blood sugar is low then please eat a snack before coming in for your session.
• Avoid caffeine.

1 hour prior to session:

• Refrain from drinking to avoid a full bladder on the table. You will be a lot more comfortable.

15 minutes prior to session:

• Start relaxing and letting go of the stress of the day. Try to arrive early so that you may sit down for 5-15 minutes prior to the session in the comfortable waiting area to listen to the water fountain and calm your nervous system. Know that you are coming in for a wonderful therapeutic experience and life is about to get better.

Upon Arrival to the Tummy Temple:

• Please do not wear perfumes/colognes, strong oils, scented lotions or smoke before coming in to the Tummy Temple.
• As you enter, take note of our Tummy Temple Rituals (at the top of the stairs).  Take a moment to inhale/exhale slowly and completly at least three times to relax your nervous system.  Ring the shrine bell.  Spritz your face and body with our relaxing essential oil blend.  Enter the Tummy Temple with ease.

• As you will be disrobing from the waist down, please wear something comfortable from the waste up.
• Long dresses ARE NOT recommended as they will need to be hiked up above the waist which may be uncomfortable and will lead to wrinkling.
• On rare occasions there may be significant leakage during a session. This is usually due to a poor seal between the rectum and the rectal speculum, most often attributed to weak or atrophied muscles. As this is something we cannot predict, we do have tan colored T-shirts that may be purchased for $5 if for any reason your shirt is soiled during the session.
