Are colonics the same as enemas?

Answer 1

"First, for reference sake, an enema and a colonic are essentially the same thing, but a colonic reaches deeper into the bowel. The basic premise behind employing enemas and colonics is to
1. clean out the contents of the bowels and thereby detoxify the body of poisonous substances
2. ease digestion by taking stress off the bowel
3. relieve constipation
4. exercise the gallbladder
5. improve the condition of the intestines
6. indirectly heal the body and relieve symptoms

Generally speaking, water is the main ingredient of enemas and colonics. However, other substances are also suggested such as coffee, various herbs or chlorophyll solutions."

Tell your doctor,"With friends like you, who needs enemas!"
(That'll be a kick in the ***.)

Answer 2

I think colonics go deeper and cover lots more territory. Supposedly, they are reputed to cleanse the entire system of impurities, but I think that's more the idea of so-called health faddists rather than health-care professionals.
