What Exactly Is Colon Cleansing and Why Do So Many People Need It?

Colon cleansing clears years of toxic buildup that leave you bloated, foggy, and disconnected from your body. This is where real healing begins.

Why Your Gut Can’t Keep Up in Today’s Toxic World

Your colon was designed for a cleaner environment, but modern stress, chemicals, and food disrupt its natural rhythm.

You Might Be Carrying Symptoms You’ve Normalized

Bloating, fatigue, skin issues, mood swings, and foggy thinking are often signs of an impacted or sluggish gut.

What a Colon Cleanse Actually Does for Your Body

Warm, gentle water moves through the colon to hydrate, soften, and release built-up waste that’s been stuck for years.

You Don’t Have to Live with These Disruptive Patterns

Cleansing clears the blockages so your body can absorb nutrients, eliminate properly, and feel balanced again.

Who This Is For

At The Temple Cleansing Center, we welcome those who are seeking true relief and restoration—not just a trend or temporary fix. Our care is designed for individuals who are severely constipated, living with chronic digestive pain, or feeling hopeless after trying everything else. If you’re emotionally drained, physically uncomfortable, and spiritually disconnected from your body, this is a place where you can begin to feel whole again.

This work is not for those chasing a beauty cleanse or a trendy detox. It’s for those who need deep, meaningful healing—the kind that goes beyond surface-level results. If you’re ready to reconnect with your body, release years of discomfort, and allow ancient healing to meet modern wellness, you’re in the right place.

How It Works

At The Temple Cleansing Center, we use colon hydrotherapy as a gentle yet powerful method to release years of buildup, blockages, and toxic waste from the colon. Over time, many people develop impactions—hardened waste that sticks to the walls of the colon, disrupting digestion, blocking nutrient absorption, and contributing to chronic pain, fatigue, and inflammation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Discover answers to your questions about colon hydrotherapy and holistic cleansing practices.

Can colon therapy help with things like anxiety, fatigue, or skin problems?
Yes. Yes. And YES. Most people think colonics are just about getting the bowels moving, but what they don’t understand is that your colon is directly connected to your brain, your skin, your immune system, your hormones, and your energy levels. It’s all connected. When the colon is backed up and inflamed, toxins start to recirculate into the bloodstream. That’s when people start to experience things like brain fog, anxiety, chronic fatigue, breakouts, weird body aches, and food sensitivities. They go to every doctor, get every lab test, try every new diet and supplement — and nothing works. Why? Because no one’s checking the gut. They’re skipping the root cause. I’ve had clients come in thinking they had Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, or were just destined to feel like crap forever. After a few sessions, they’re telling me their anxiety has gone from an 8 to a 2, they’re sleeping deeper, they’re waking up with energy, and their skin is finally clearing up after years of stubborn acne or eczema. It’s not magic. It’s biology. When you clean out the old toxic waste, you allow your body’s natural healing mechanisms to work again. So yes — colon therapy is not just about poop. It’s about restoring your gut-brain connection, reducing toxic load, and giving your body the clean slate it needs to finally heal the way it was designed to. Your colon could be the missing link.
Is it normal to feel nervous or embarrassed about getting a colonic?
Oh my gosh — yes! This is one of the most common things we hear. People are so nervous their first time, and I totally get it. You’re letting a total stranger help you release years (literally) of stored up waste, and society has trained us to be embarrassed by anything involving poop, our bodies, or admitting we’re struggling. But let me be very clear: there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of here. This is a medical-grade treatment done by someone who truly cares, with 22 years of experience and no judgment whatsoever. You are not gross. You are not broken. You're doing something incredibly powerful and brave by choosing to face the problem rather than continuing to suffer in silence. Most people are shocked at how relieving and non-invasive it actually feels. Once that first treatment is done, they realize, “That was it? Why did I wait so long?” I’ll explain everything step by step, make sure you feel safe and comfortable the entire time, and there will never be pressure. It’s just you, me, and your healing. And I’ll remind you — we’ve seen everything. From people who haven’t pooped in a month to folks carrying around 40–50 pounds of impaction without realizing it. There is nothing shocking anymore. This is a place of compassion and healing. If you’re feeling scared or embarrassed, that’s a sign you care. And that’s a great start. We’ll take it from there — together.
Why Colon Therapy?
Colon hydrotherapy, is otherwise known as Colonic, colon irrigation, colon cleansing or a high enema. Colon Therapy is an actual therapy and it can be beneficial for everyone! It is especially vital if you eat or have eaten pre-made foods whether boxed, canned or frozen and especially fast food!! If you are a person who has had to be on prescription medications for a long period of time, have had surgery, painkillers (especially opiates) or antibiotics, you are probably constipated, right?
What is constipation?
Some people don't understand what constipation actually means. If you're constipated, then you're having a hard time pooping. If a poop didn’t come out due to stress, bad food, medications, etc then it will form into a “fecal impaction” and become calcified like a rock! Once a fecal impaction is created, new food that is trying to digest will get stuck on that impaction, making it larger, thus creating more impactions, because the muscle action in your colon is off & now the microbiome is starting to get messed up, causing all new symptoms through the vagus nerve all the way to the brain! We can be impacted for months to years and not realize it until it's gotten so bad that the symptoms are making us think we must have cancer or we're going to die of some rare disease. Seeing a doctor is good, but when the doctor can't come up with the diagnosis, trying different medications to no avail, yet you continue to have the symptoms, it is a good idea to try colon therapy and see if that will work for you. Once you're impacted you think a little enema will do the trick, but even an enema won’t work! The enema won’t work because you may be too impacted through most of your whole colon, (many clients get rid of 10–50 pounds of fecal matter during their colon therapy treatments) your peristalsis has slowed down to the point you can't even push anything out anymore. The fecal impactions are in the way, blocking anything from going through except watery stools that can leak around those impactions. Not only that, you are now not absorbing all your vital nutrients. If you are trying to have a bowel movement & it feels like it's getting stuck, it probably is! After a period of time fecal matter gets stuck in the haustra of the colon and every time food passes by that dry fecal matter (fecal impaction), it keeps accumulating more and more until you're so impacted that your peristalsis just can't do its job anymore. When most of your colon is finally full of fecal impactions, that's when you start to feel constipated. The colon is tricky like that, it just doesn't give you warning signs! Please, don’t allow yourself to get this impacted like I did 22 years ago. By the way, I did not get the colon resection surgery, but instead did the colon therapy & that’s why I went back to school and became a colon therapist 22 years ago!
How much waste can a person have in their colon?
We have seen many clients with over 50 pounds of dried fecal matter stuck in their colon. Some might only have 5 or 10, but they started before they were completely impacted. When they did their colon therapy and finished all of their appointments, they got rid of ALL that old dried fecal matter as well as other weight (fat) that was lingering on their body and bad inflammation in their lymphatic system. They were able to rebuild and balance their microbiome and thrive in life.
Who gets colonics?
This is not just for elderly patients anymore — we see children as young as 3 years of age that come in after their pediatrician tells mom & dad that their x-ray or MRI told them they are completely impacted. This has become an epidemic with children and adults of all ages! Last year we did treatments on a 13-year-old girl for 5 straight days (she flew in from out of state) and she lost roughly 15 pounds of what looked like giant rocks! She had been complaining of tummy pain so her grandmother brought her here as a last resort & it absolutely changed this girl's life, including her social life and her mental well-being. Many children who come to us have been diagnosed with Encopresis and most of these children have been on Miralax for 1 to 3 years with no relief yet. After just 3 to 6 (depending on age) colonics, those children had a new x-ray or MRI that says they are completely cleaned out and they feel amazing! These children are now able to play sports again without having accidents in their underwear or debilitating pain in their abdominal region.
Shouldn’t your colon just “naturally” cleanse itself?
People ask us this all the time, and my answer is very simple and to the point: Yes, it should be. BUT, we aren’t in a pure & natural world, are we? If all you've ever eaten was fresh whole foods that grow organically from the earth, with no stress, no surgeries, no medications, no vaccines, etc., then you're probably good! It's very simple — much of the ingredients put into your fast food, boxed, frozen and canned dinners typically includes things our digestive tract was not meant to digest! It screws up our microbiome and then our whole ecosystem gets out of balance. Most of the medications America takes are chemicals — something you would not dump in your food before you eat, if you knew what it really was. The colon is basically the sewer system of the body, so it's the last place everything goes. However, if your sewer system gets unbalanced it can wreak havoc on your entire body over time due to the gut-brain connection through your microbiome. Therefore, it sits in the walls of the colon collecting just about everything that passes by. Even vegetables can stick to this nasty crud clogging up your colon, so don't think that since you've been eating clean in the past 6 months or even 6 years for that matter, that your colon is fine. Ask yourself: “Do I have a good-sized bowel movement 5 to 20 minutes after each meal like a baby does?” “Is it the same size as my 2 or 3-year-old child?” If not — give us a call! 📞 (928) 295-8797
