Frequently Asked Questions
Hydrocolontherapy
Hydrocolontherapy is a safe, gentle and effective method for cleansing the colon of waste material (including impacted faecal matter) by repeated, gentle flushing with water.
Symptoms of an unhealthy colon can include constipation, diarrhea, chronic gas, bloating, acne, lethargy, mood swings, allergies, headaches and insomnia.
Colon hydrotherapy has been known to speed detox, improve digestion, prevent constipation, increase energy and concentration, support overall colon health, restoration of intestinal peristalsis and the proliferation of healthy gut flora.
Yes! We take pride in providing clients with an impeccable hygienic environment. With our open system colonic bed, we use disposable rectal tubes (size of a pencil, soft, made of silicone). After each client, the bed along with the room are disinfected, restocked and prepared for the next client.
The system uses safe ultra-violet filtered water that goes through 9 filters at a temperature of 40⁰C (the temperature of the colon).
At IKIGAI HEALTH CENTER our mission is to have every client feel entirely comfortable during their cleanse. We always maintain a high level of respect for our clients. The hydrocolontherapy device is located in a private room filled with soothing sounds, soft lighting and essential oils to help relax the body and mind. After our therapist assists the client in preparing for the hydrocolontherapy session, the clients have the option of having the room all to themselves or having the therapist assisting in the room. The client’s intimacy is respected. The device also has a system which annihilates the uncomfortable gases and odours.
Most clients would agree that hydrocolontherapy is not painful and is in fact enjoyable. A colonic cleanse creates a feeling of lightness. The warm water, the infrared light and the low-frequency device will help to relax the gut in order to expel any waste with ease. The device automatically takes notice (beeps) and stops for a few seconds when the pressure in the colon rises.
Absolutely! Many women find hydrocolontherapy to improve menstrual symptoms, including reduced bloating, cramps, headaches and abdominal pressure.
It is recommended but not mandatory to limit the consumption of animal protein and the consumption of food in excess of 2 days prior to the appointment.
After completing the forms, the client will be taken to a private room where the hydrocolontherapy device and a toilet are located. The customer will be explained the entire procedure, after which privacy is provided so that the canula can be inserted slightly about one cm in the rectum. Once applied, our therapist will return to the room to initiate the procedure. At this point, the customer is left alone or may choose to have the therapist in the room.
During the cleanse warm, filtered water will gently fill the colon. Once the client gets the urge to defecate, they push the waste material out into the basin below their hips. This process continues for approximately 45 minutes. It is recommended that clients hold onto the water as long as possible to aid in removing the fecal matter.
Once the cleanse is complete, our therapist will return to the room to turn off the water. The client then pushes the remaining water and waste into the basin and gently removes the disposable rectal canula.
After the procedure, most people have a general well-being. Other beneficial changes noted over the following period: re-establishment of intestinal transit, reduction of gases, disappearance of bad breath and insomnia.
We recommend that you eat very easily (soups and juices are the best) and drink a lot of water for the next 24 hours.
This depends entirely on each individual’s health goals, but in order to eliminate built-up toxic waste inside the colon multiple cleanses will be necessary. Talk with our trained therapist for more insight on how many and how often colonics will be needed.
Our recommendations include the following scheme:
Phase 1:
It is recommended that a meeting/day be held for 3 consecutive days.
Phase 2:
It is applicable for the treatment of constipation.
It is recommended that a meeting/week be held for 2 consecutive months.
If the patient’s condition requires, this procedure can also be performed 2 times/week, for 2 consecutive months.
Phase 3:
In order to maintain a constant state of health, the procedure can be performed once a month.
Please allow an hour and a half for your first visit, 30 minutes for the lifestyle consultation and one hour for your first procedure. Please allow one hour for each subsequent visit.
Hydrocolontherapy does not flush all good or bad bacteria out of the body. Once toxins are removed from the colon, the beneficial bacteria have a cleaner habitat facilitating their reproduction and multiplication, therefore achieving a positive bacterial balance. Most of the important bowel bacteria are present on the bowel wall and are not removed during hydrocolontherapy. Since these good bacteria breed best in a balanced environment, a colon cleanse may actually improve their environment and increase their numbers. At the end of the third procedure the probiotics implant is recommended which is performed with another function of the same device.
The encapsulated aerobic and anaerobic probiotics used come from the food biotechnology laboratory at the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj Napoca.
Your safety is of paramount importance. Modern equipment constantly maintains the water temperature and pressure within safe limits, and the standards insist that a new, single use, disposable canula is used for each procedure.
This device is different from the other ones available through the following aspects: The process is completely automated and unassisted, the client is the one in charge of the entire process, it uses the technology of low-frequency resonance, it uses the R and IR therapy during the procedure. The visualisation on a screen of the eliminated residues is also possible and the probiotics implant on a clean colon.
Zapper procedure
ZAPPER is a device that emits pulsed electric fields (PEF) to reduce the population of the body’s main pests.
ZAPPER does not cause known adverse side effects, apart from some detoxification effects due to temporary overloading.
NO. Some people feel a little blast, but most don’t feel anything. There is no discomfort.
Benefits include: stimulation of the immune system, weakening of parasite micro-organisms, softening of excess yeast, action against infections (germs and viruses), regulation of blood sugar, reduction of sugar appetite, etc.
Hydrate well before, during and after each session (2 liters water/day). Avoid heavy, calorie-rich food throughout the protocol.
Probiotics infiltrations
Probiotics are a new food category defined by the World Health Organization in 2001 as “living micro-organisms administered at appropriate doses to provide benefits to the health of the host”.
Microencapsulated probiotic bacteria are obtained in the Food Biotechnology Laboratory at the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine in Cluj-Napoca. From the diversity of probiotics, Mr. Prof. Dr. Dan Vodnar selects, if necessary or upon request, the types of bacteria needed by the implant to provide personalized mixes of probiotic bacteria.
They are recommended to reduce the risk of infection of the intestinal flora; it is appropriate to use the appropriate method for the assessment of the risk of infection of the intestinal microflora personalized by probiotic bacteria.
Liver detoxification
Liver detoxification is a complex procedure that will allow us to free the bile channels of deposits (calculi, parasites, viruses, etc.) by administering a mixture of ozonized (specially designed) oil and lemon juice.
NO animal protein will be consumed within 3 days prior to the procedure.
The liver detoxification crate is held once a month in the first 4 months. Afterwards it will be retaken in 3 months, then 6 months and thereafter once a year.
Ion detoxification - Eco-detox
Ion detoxification Eco-detox is an external detoxification method that eliminates toxins through the legs. The body is detoxified while the legs are placed in a vessel with warm salt water, alongside electrodes, meanwhile on the liver an infrared belt is applied. This method is very effective by eliminating toxins wherever they are in the body.
Each session lasts 30 minutes.
Benefits include:
• consolidation of the immune system
• help with recovery after injuries and/or surgical operations
• soothe pain and stiffness in the case of arthritis
• improves sleep
• removes heavy metals, discard blood clots
• hepatic and renal function is improved.
Hirudotherapy
Very safe. It’s been used safely in central and eastern Europe, for hundreds of years. After many years of problem-free clinical use, Hirudo medicinalis received official approval as a medical device in 1984 from the USA’s Food and Drug Administration.
Leech bites are not painful. Some compare him with a weak current, others with mosquito bites, third, feel that it mimics the feeling of tingling sensation with a small needle. After the first few minutes, the sensation completely disappears, as the leech injects its hirudin into your bloodstream, along with its antiseptic pain-relieving substances and leech saliva components.
Each treatment takes between a half an hour and one and a half hours. We recommend seven to nine treatments undertaken one to two times a week for maximum effects.
Leeches respond to unnatural flavors and odors. Simply do not use any scented lotions, body washes, body cosmetics, etc., before the procedure.
Our company has a contractual relationship with the most renowned European bio-farms for medicinal leeches. All of the bio-farm production that we stock is certified and thus suitable to be used in a sterile environment. Leeches are sterile and also single-use.
No. We use leeches grown in controlled, sterile environments at our bio-farms and biolabs in Europe.
We never, ever re-use the same leech.
Leeches can be reapplied as early as four days after the first treatment or as much as 25 days apart.
Leeches need approximately 20-45 minutes to extract all the blood they need for one meal. This is also the duration of a leech therapy session with a professional hirudo-therapist. If the patient’s blood circulation of the patient is slow and stagnant, hirudo leeches will take longer to finish the extraction process. Leeches fall alone by themselves when filled with blood.
In 10 sessions there is a flow similar to a blood donation (70% lymph and 30% blood).
The benefits of the treatment typically last for six months to a year. As such, we recommend undergoing the treatment one to two times a year.
Yes. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before undergoing hirudo-therapy. Other contraindications include low blood pressure, excessive bleeding, arterial insufficiency, blood disease, leukemia, hemophilia. If you are taking aspirin (which inhibits blood clotting) or Ginkgo Biloba, you should stop taking them 7 days prior to the treatment. If you have any concerns about any of these, please consult one of our professionals to communicate your concerns.
Divine alignment
The spine is the main artery of life; it supports all the physical and mental tasks of our existence. When we bend and carry too many physical or mental burdens, the natural energy flow fails to flow freely along the spine.
However, the most important aspect is the connection of the spine via the spinal ribs to each body organ.
The divine alignment occurs in a few seconds, without any contact, without the manipulation of the skeleton, by the exclusive power of the energy of the spiritual universe. In fact, the realignment does not act directly on the basin or the spine, but on the causes that lie far beyond the limits of our imagination. The client’s energy and physical system and, as a result, the basin, are aimed, without being touched at all.
This is not a classic technique of physical manipulation of the basin or vertebral column. Everything comes without contact, merely by the strength of the spirit. It is not comparable to any traditional method or manual therapies of chiropractics, cranio-sacral or osteopathy. The realignment of the basin cannot be achieved by manipulation or relaxation techniques. Thanks to the spiritual alignment it is possible to translate it into practice as it comes from a higher level of self-awareness.
