"I just completed my fourth session with Joanna and was once again amazed by how much toxic waste is being released from my colon!
It feels great to know that, without any drugs, I’m helping my colon work more efficiently to process food and distribute nutrients throughout my body.
I also feel I’m lowering my risk of colon cancer by clearing out toxins and heavy metals.
Joanna is incredibly gentle throughout the entire process.
She has a soothing presence and a genuinely caring manner, always ensuring that everything is done comfortably and at a pace that feels right.
I’ve never experienced any pain during my sessions.
I plan to continue colon hydrotherapy with Iowa Colonics regularly.
(I give my car’s coolant system a regular flush-and-fill, now, I’m doing the same for myself!) 😊”

What Is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Understanding the Importance of Colon Health
Your colon plays a vital role in your body, acting as the final stage in the digestive process. Its primary function is to absorb water and nutrients from the food you eat while forming and eliminating waste.
However, over time, the colon inevitably accumulates layers of impacted fecal matter and mucoid plaque.
This buildup is not just a minor inconvenience; it directly affects your overall health, vitality, and connection to the flow of Spirit—an electric intelligence that runs through your body.
The colon consists of many small pockets known as diverticula, where fecal matter often gets trapped.
Every time you have a bowel movement, only a portion of the waste is actually expelled.
The rest remains lodged in these pockets, slowly accumulating over the years.
As this waste sits in your colon, it dehydrates and hardens, turning into impacted fecal matter that becomes increasingly difficult to remove.
This impacted matter then releases toxins that circulate throughout your body, affecting everything from your energy levels to your mental clarity.
In response to these toxins, the colon produces a protective barrier known as mucoid plaque.
This plaque prevents harmful acids and toxins from creating ulcers or entering your bloodstream.
However, while this barrier serves a protective function, it also limits the colon’s ability to absorb essential nutrients and water.
As a result, your body’s overall health and ability to function optimally are compromised.
The buildup of fecal matter and mucoid plaque also blocks the flow of Spirit, disrupting the natural flow of electric intelligence through your nervous system.
If you are 35 years old and have never received a colonic, you could be carrying around 35 years of toxic, dried, moldy fecal matter inside your colon. This buildup takes time to properly hydrate and remove.
Open System vs. Closed System Colon Hydrotherapy
When it comes to colon hydrotherapy, there are two primary systems: open and closed. Understanding the differences between these systems is crucial for choosing the most effective treatment.
Open System Colon Hydrotherapy:
The open system involves a continuous stream of water that flows into and out of your colon.
This system fills the colon only up to the splenic flexure—the upper left part of your colon.
While it may provide some level of cleansing, it does not generate the necessary pressure to thoroughly clean the entire colon.
Impacted fecal matter and mucoid plaque in deeper sections of the colon, particularly near the cecum (the starting point of the large intestine), often remain untouched.
This means that large portions of toxic buildup are left behind, continuing to affect your health.
Closed System Colon Hydrotherapy:
In contrast, the closed system is designed to fill the entire colon, reaching all the way to the cecum.
The cecum is a pouch located at the beginning of the large intestine in the lower right abdomen.
It serves as the entry point for waste material from the small intestine.
The closed system uses a slow fill and gentle buildup of pressure, ensuring that the entire colon—not just a small section—is thoroughly cleansed.
This method is superior for achieving deep detoxification and full colon hydration.
At Inner Flow Wellness, we utilize an advanced, pressure sensing, pressure-fed closed system colon hydrotherapy device.
This system ensures that every part of your colon is thoroughly cleansed, removing years of toxic buildup, mucoid plaque, and impacted fecal matter.
This comprehensive approach not only detoxifies the colon but also enhances overall health and well-being.
The Hidden Impact of Colon Buildup
Your colon is not just a simple passageway for waste; it’s a complex organ with multiple pockets where fecal matter can become trapped and accumulate over time.
Each time you have a bowel movement, only a portion of this waste is expelled.
The rest remains lodged in these pockets, leading to a gradual accumulation of fecal matter that becomes harder and more toxic as time goes on.
As this impacted fecal matter sits in your colon, it dries out, hardens, and eventually turns toxic.
This toxic waste releases harmful substances into your bloodstream, affecting every organ and system in your body, including your brain.
This toxic environment forces your colon to produce mucoid plaque, a rubber-like substance that lines the colon walls to protect against these toxins.
While mucoid plaque prevents acids and toxins from entering your bloodstream, it also severely limits the colon’s ability to absorb vital nutrients and water.
The buildup of impacted fecal matter and mucoid plaque doesn’t just affect your physical health—it also affects your mental health.
This blockage can lead to feelings of disconnection, low energy, and a diminished sense of well-being.
The longer this toxic buildup remains in your colon, the more it impacts your overall health and vitality.
The Four Phases of Closed System Colon Hydrotherapy
To effectively remove these harmful layers from your colon, closed system colon hydrotherapy follows a structured process consisting of four distinct phases.
Each phase is crucial for systematically hydrating, removing, and detoxifying the colon, ultimately leading to improved health and well-being.
Phase 1: Hydration Phase
The first phase focuses on rehydrating the dried, impacted fecal matter that has accumulated in the pockets of your colon.
This step is essential because it softens the hardened waste, making it easier and more comfortable to remove. During this phase, warm, filtered water is introduced slowly into the colon.
This gentle process helps to loosen and dissolve the compacted layers of waste, rehydrating the fecal matter and preparing it for expulsion.
This phase also targets the most recent fecal matter that hasn’t been properly or fully evacuated.
It’s not uncommon for this phase to reveal several months' worth of waste that hasn’t yet hardened or become impacted in the pockets.
The colon cycles between hydration and removal during this phase, repeating the process as necessary to ensure thorough cleansing.
This hydration and release process may involve up to 7 or more layers of waste being removed, depending on the individual.
Phase 2: Removal Phase
Once the impacted fecal matter is sufficiently hydrated, the removal phase begins.
This phase focuses on eliminating the softened waste, layer by layer.
The water continues to flow into the colon, encouraging it to naturally expel the waste through peristaltic action—the wave-like muscle contractions of the intestinal walls.
This gradual removal ensures that the colon is cleansed thoroughly without causing discomfort, allowing the body to naturally and efficiently eliminate the waste.
The hydration and removal phases work in tandem, with the colon being continually hydrated and then encouraged to release the softened waste.
This back-and-forth cycling between hydration and removal is essential for ensuring that all layers of impacted fecal matter are thoroughly addressed.
This phase is repeated as needed until all accessible layers of waste have been removed.
Phase 3: Mucoid Plaque Removal
Beneath the layers of impacted fecal matter lies mucoid plaque—a tough, rubber-like layer that adheres to the walls of the colon.
Mucoid plaque serves as a protective barrier, but it also severely limits the colon’s ability to absorb nutrients and water.
The removal of mucoid plaque is a critical step in restoring optimal colon function and enhancing nutrient absorption.
Removing mucoid plaque involves a careful process of gently expanding the colon with a controlled flow of water.
This expansion helps break the connective strands that bind the mucoid plaque to the colon wall, facilitating its release.
As the mucoid plaque is gradually cleared away, the colon’s ability to absorb water and essential nutrients improves significantly.
This phase may take multiple sessions to fully complete, depending on the extent of mucoid plaque buildup.
Phase 4: Full Body Hydration Phase
The final phase focuses on deep hydration for the entire body.
Once all layers of impacted fecal matter and mucoid plaque have been cleared, the colon is fully open and capable of absorbing water at a much deeper level.
Continuing the flow of water at this stage helps to flush out any remaining debris and ensures that the colon and other vital organs are fully hydrated.
This comprehensive hydration supports overall detoxification, boosts energy levels, and promotes a profound sense of well-being.
When the colon is free from blockages, the water used in hydrotherapy can hydrate the body more effectively, enhancing cellular function and vitality.
Completing the Phases:
It’s important to understand that the process of moving through all four phases does not happen in a single colonic treatment.
It takes multiple treatments to fully complete each phase.
If you are 35 years old and have never received a colonic, you have 35 years of dried, moldy, toxic fecal matter inside your colon.
Hydrating and releasing these layers will take time. It is recommended to receive 2-3 colonics every week until you have completed Phase 4.
This consistent approach ensures that each phase is addressed thoroughly, leading to comprehensive detoxification and optimal health outcomes.
The Comprehensive Benefits of Closed System Colon Hydrotherapy
Closed system colon hydrotherapy offers a thorough approach to detoxification and wellness.
By systematically hydrating and removing impacted fecal matter and mucoid plaque, this therapy restores the natural function of the colon, improving digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health.
Clearing these blockages also supports the flow of Spirit (electric intelligence) through the nervous system, fostering a deeper connection to your true essence and promoting holistic well-being.
Once the impacted fecal matter and mucoid plaque are removed, the water used during colon hydrotherapy sessions will hydrate your body more effectively.
With the removal of toxins (parasites, candida, heavy metals, molds, fungus, etc.) and proper hydration, you will more consciously and physically witness and be in the flow of Spirit that has always been present.
This process revitalizes your body, mind, and spirit, leading to greater clarity, energy, and purpose.
