Laxatives vs. Colon Hydrotherapy

Laxatives act as chemical irritants and stimulate the muscular walls of the colon to abnormally contract to expel the irritating substances. It is very easy to become dependent upon these drugs and permanently destroy the normal ability of the colon to eliminate naturally on its own accord.

The oral route of administration is the least optimal method of evacuation of the large intestine. Laxatives interfere with the important digestive processes occurring in the stomach and small intestine which results in electrolyte depletion and dehydration.
