Hydrocolon therapy

Hydrocolon therapy is a gentle, controlled method of cleansing the colon with warm, filtered water. It helps remove accumulated waste, gas, and toxins while supporting overall digestive comfort. At Cornerstone Clinic in Dubai Marina, hydrocolon therapy is performed in a calm, hygienic medical setting by trained professionals who prioritise your comfort and privacy at every step.

This treatment is often chosen by patients experiencing bloating, irregular bowel habits, or chronic discomfort, or those seeking to improve digestion as part of a broader wellness plan.

WHAT HYDROCOLON THERAPY DOES

Hydrocolon therapy helps:

Reduce bloating and abdominal pressure
Improve bowel movement regularity
Support detoxification
Improve overall digestive comfort
Ease symptoms related to constipation
Cleanse the colon in preparation for medical procedures

The process is gentle and does not involve chemicals or harsh substances. Only clean, temperature-controlled water is used.

HOW THE TREATMENT WORKS

The session takes place in a private treatment room with a comfortable reclining position. A small, disposable tube is inserted into the rectum to allow warm water to enter the colon. The water softens and loosens waste, which is then released through a closed system that maintains full hygiene and odour control.

During the process:

Water enters and exits in cycles
The therapist monitors pressure, temperature, and flow carefully
You can communicate throughout the session
The treatment lasts around 45 minutes to one hour. Most patients describe the experience as light and relieving.
