🌿 YOUR COLON HAS ITS OWN PROTECTIVE SHIELD!
Specialised cells in the bowel produce mucus that lubricates the passage of stool and helps separate the bowel lining from the trillions of microbes living in the colon.
The deeper mucus layer provides important protection, while a looser outer layer is home to some gut bacteria.
This means it is misleading to suggest that colonic hydrotherapy simply “washes away” the entire gut microbiome. What a colonic treatment actually does is soften stool that may have sat in the colon for some time and this enables it to gently release.
💚 Your colon doesn’t simply move waste—it continually protects and maintains its complex internal environment.
