Many of our clients in the Los Angeles area ask us the difference between colon hydrotherapy and an enema. While both involve cleansing the colon by infusing water into the rectum, there are several key difference between the two.

What is an enema?

An enema is the process of introducing liquid – often warm sterile distilled water – into the rectum as a bowel stimulant. It mainly cleanses the lower part of the colon and is a one-time infusion of water. Enemas can be used to relieve constipation and impacted fecal matter, but its main function is as a bowel stimulant.

What is a colonic?

Colonics is a natural process of cleansing the colon. It uses warm, soothing water that is filtered and gently instilled into the colon via the rectum. Unlike an enema, colon hydrotherapy cleanses the entire colon and activates the natural peristalsis of the body. Water and waste is moved out of the body through a waste tube, moving toxins out while hydrating the body.

The key differences

  • Colon hydrotherapy cleanses the entire length of the colon, whereas enemas only cleanse the lower part.
  • During colonics, waste and toxins leave the body through a tube. You’re covered and do not smell or see the fecal matter. An enema involves a single infusion – waste is passed afterward in the toilet.
  • Colon hydrotherapy involves multiple sessions, whereas an enema is a single infusion.
  • Cleansing the colon with a colonic must be done by a trained colon hydrotherapist. Enemas can be performed at home – there are several disposable kits available.

Overall, a colonic is more effective at cleansing the entire colon, hydrating the body and activating natural methods of cleansing within the body.
