How Often Should You Have Colonics?
July 2025
A colonic is a relaxing, non-invasive experience that is designed to clean out the colon to improve internal detoxification, reduce bodily toxins, boost energy levels, and aid in digestion. With so many benefits, you may be wondering ‘how often can I do colon hydrotherapy?’
The frequency in which you have colonics will depend on your goals, lifestyle, health conditions, and the state of their digestive system. While some may experience the benefits of colon hydrotherapy after the first session, others may require up to five sessions to experience a complete colon cleanse.
To determine how often you should undergo colonics, your qualified colon hydrotherapist will assess your situation and recommend a safe schedule tailored to your needs.
Do I need a colonic?
A colonic is particularly beneficial for individuals with digestive issues; however, it can be helpful for anyone who wants to improve their overall well-being.
Acid reflux, bloating, abdominal pain or discomfort, or irregular bowel movements could be signs that your gut is not functioning properly – colon hydrotherapy sessions can help relieve these symptoms.
These signs are commonly caused by the accumulation of waste and toxins in the colon. When an individual has a highly processed diet, consumes little to no fibre, lacks physical activity, or is frequently stressed, the digestive system can become sluggish and fail to properly clear waste and toxins from the gut.
A colonic assists the digestive system by slowly filling the colon with warm, filtered water, softening and releasing accumulated waste and toxins in the gut. Relieving the colon of particle buildup allows the gut to function properly, to improve overall health.
How often should I have a colonic?
The frequency with how often you should have a colonic will depend on your individual health goals and conditions. Some individuals may benefit from a series of treatments on a weekly or fortnightly basis, while others may benefit from a colonic session every few months. However, we generally recommend consecutive sessions initially to ensure you experience a complete cleanse.
During your first colon cleanse session, water can only travel a certain distance into the intestine. However, with consecutive colon hydrotherapy sessions, the water is able to rise higher. The gradual process of colon hydrotherapy ensures your safety and comfort. After these initial colon cleanses, our therapists will recommend a personalised schedule that suits your body’s needs and aligns with your specific health goals and conditions.
Benefits of regular colon hydrotherapy sessions
Generally, the benefits of colon hydrotherapy will become clear after the second or third session. Regular colon hydrotherapy can help reduce toxins in the body, enhance internal detoxification, boost energy levels, and support digestive health throughout the year.
