Hemorrhoids Acupuncture: Things to Do and Avoid

The procedure involves sending warm, sterile water into the lower bowel and colon to assist in removing years of excess mucus, acid, gas, pollutants, medication and toxic substances.

A colonic is very powerful at healing or beginning the healing process of your eczema. It's very beneficial also for weight loss, constipation, hemorrhoids, yeast infections, diarrhea and a host of other conditions. It is also very powerful at curing cancer of the colon. One thing you will achieve as a result is an increase in energy, advanced mental clarity, clearer eczema skin, improved circulation and enhanced immunity.

The procedure often lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. You lie on a comfortable table for the treatment. A tube is inserted. This doesn't hurt and it's not painful at all. There is a little, mild pressure but nothing else. You should receive an abdominal massage from your therapist, and this is to aid the movement of any trapped gas and waste matter. You could usually see what's being expelled from the body, but you might choose not to watch.

It's actually not unusual to watch huge complete pieces of broccoli or corn or other food substances just sail through the colonic tube. These are foods that haven't been chewed completely. Unfortunately, your colon doesn't have teeth.

Constipation and gas have a definite connection. Constipation causes the person's stool to be hard, making it a challenge to pass. This can cause hemorrhoids and anal fissures, which can bring pain. The person experiences cramps and bowel sounds and flatulence, or gas.

There are different signs of constipation, including bowel movements that are infrequent at three times or less in a week, difficulty during a bowel movement due to the hard stools and the inability to complete the defecation.

Flatulence comes hand-in-hand with constipation. This gas happens when there is pressure through the anus, and this pressure exceeds the sphincter's ability to handle it. Flatulence can be present when feces are found in the rectum, so if a person is constipated, they are more likely to suffer from gas. The flatulence is more likely to have a foul odor when there is feces, or any bacteria present.

If the gas builds up, it can become painful for the individual and constipation is more likely to occur if flatulence is held inside.

A person can be constipated even if they experienced bowel movements on a daily basis. There are two types of stools on the Bristol Stool Chart that identify constipation. The first can be described as small lumps, similar to nuts, which are hard to pass. The second stool is sausage shaped but lumpy.

There is a type of constipation that is considered the most severe- obstipation. This is when the constipation becomes so bad that both feces and gas are prevented from passing.
