Colonics to Cleansings…

Aloha Moms!

8416_141760047749_670257749_3107253_1927503_n1I am Suki, your friendly colonic hydrotherapist & cleansing guru. In the last 12 years it’s been my delight & privilege to work with 9 mothers and 11 babies throughout their pregnancies [2 mothers with both of their children]. And each one has been different – there is no accounting for cravings & seasons! There is much misconception about when it is safe to cleanse during pregnancy & breast feeding. What you want to avoid is excess toxins entering your blood stream & that of your baby. Removing toxins from your body = a very good thing. I am happy to give colonics past 14 weeks* gestation: 1st trimester + 2 weeks for good measure [*a history of problems notwithstanding]. If I doubted for a minute that it wasn’t suitable [i.e. poor diet could create more stress than benefit] I would talk to my client about other cleansing options.

Receiving colonics, colemas or enemas during pregnancy helps enormously with Mom’s energy, digestion, cravings, sleep & mobility. Because Baby isn’t surrounded by yucky you-know-what, this means a calmer newborn, better sleep & zero cradle cap. And the colon cleansing doesn’t need to stop just because you’ve given birth & are busy being Mom. Your health still matters, the quality of your energy, sleep (don’t laugh) and breast-milk are all related to what is lurking in your bowel. Many clients have taken Colosan (OxyMag) safely during pregnancy & breast feeding. The typical cleansing herbs are best avoided – as usual, thoroughly investigate what you consume at this precious time.

Cultures vary so greatly when it comes to kids and poop. My friends from Korea had theirs inspected by their Mothers each morning & their diets adjusted accordingly. Indian & West Indian children are/were brought up fasting annually & drinking heinous cleansing liquids. If you’re already on the raw cleansing path, your children will grow up used to your interesting predilections for poop; the enema bags in the bathroom & your colon hydrotherapist’s waiting room. If you’re embracing this lifestyle now, with older children, let them try what you’re doing, encourage them to do an enema [they may need some help, or have them together]. All ideal preparation for their own path of happy bowels…
