Hi Peggy, I work for a naturopath as his colon therapist, so I am a big promoter of colonics. I have them myself regularly and am a big believer in their benefits.

That having been said, I have also had to have enemas for many years on a fairly regular basis, and I don't minimize the benefits they can provide. In my practice I administer both enemas and colon hydrotherapy treatments, depending on the doctors orders and individual circumstances.

If I had to make a general overall recommendation to an individual in reasonably good health, but with persistent and ongoing constipation problems, I would recommend colonics on a periodic basis, each quarter if possible, at the start of the new season, or at least semi-annually or annually. In between, enemas as required.

Properly administered enemas can be extremely effective in maintenance of good health and keeping the bowel clean and healthy. But it important that they be properly administered.
