Get the truth about colon hydrotherapy from Cathy Basse so you can use colonics safely and effectively for better health.

We track Cathy’s journey to becoming a healer. Her mother’s premature death, when she was 12, and her father’s insistence on healthy food prompted Cathy’s keen interest in medicine and natural healing modalities. Working in a hospital as a nurse, she witnessed the chronic effects of poor food and lifestyle choices. She became passionate about preventing disease rather than treating it, and moved into colon hydrotherapy.

Cathy gives us the lowdown on the benefits of colonics, what compromises our gut microbiome, and how our colon, liver, kidneys, lymph, sexual health, and nervous system are connected. And why regular bowel elimination is the key to achieving our health goals.

Unpacking the history and science of colonics, and debunking common misconceptions, Cathy lays out why the closed system is preferable to the open. Then, walks us through how to find a skilled practitioner, what questions to ask, the best way to prepare, the logistics of a session, and how to optimize our results.

Beyond the physical benefits, we explore the mental, emotional, and spiritual elements of the practice. Helping us understand why it’s called “therapy,” Cathy emphasizes the importance of working with an intuitive practitioner who treats with care and sensitivity.

The big takeaway: Healing isn’t just what we eat or the actions we take, it’s about what we release.

TESS’S TAKEAWAYS:

• If your colon is congested, toxins get reabsorbed, putting a strain on vital organs.
• Colon hydrotherapy helps the body keep up with the constant barrage of toxins.
• Colonics help digestion, circulation, immunity, energy, mental clarity, and weight loss.
• The practice supports pelvic and sexual health, to avoid UTIs and prostate issues.
• Go for medical-grade treatments with a qualified practitioner rather than a spa session.
• Choose the closed system to allow the practitioner to do bodywork during the treatment.
• Work with a skilled therapist who remains in the room the whole time.
• How many sessions you need depends on your physical and emotional needs and preferences.

Cathy Basse is a licensed colon hydrotherapist certified in integrative bodywork and massage with a practice in Kansas City.
