What is the procedure called that cleans colons?

Answer 1

Colonics.

Answer 2

An enema (plural enemata or enemas) is the procedure of introducing liquids into the rectum and colon via the anus. Enemas can be carried out for medical reasons (as a treatment for constipation), as part of alternative therapies
The main medical usages of enemas are:

As a bowel stimulant, not unlike a laxative -- the main difference being that laxatives are commonly thought of as orally administered while enemas are administered directly into the rectum, and thereafter, into the colon. When the enema is complete, and after a set "holding time," the patient expels feces along with the enema in the toilet.
Bowel stimulating enemas may consist of water, which works primarily as a mechanical laxative, or they may be made up of water with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) or water with a mild soap dissolved in it; sodium phosphate solution, which draws additional water from the bloodstream into the colon and increases the effectiveness of the enema, but which can often be rather irritating to the colon, causing intense cramping or "gripping"; or mineral oil, which functions as a lubricant and stool softener, but which often has the side effect of sporadic seepage from the patient's anus which can soil the patient's undergarments for up to 24 hours.
Colonic irrigation or colon hydrotherapy is a large enema which cleanses the whole colon. It was in vogue for hygienic purposes at the beginning of the 20th century (see John Harvey Kellogg) and remains popular as an alternative health therapy in many parts of the world. Advocates believe that, when carried out by trained personnel using sterile equipment, it can be a safe and valuable tool for eliminating toxins from the body and restoring normal muscular activity in the colon. However, there have been cases of intestinal perforation due to improperly done colonic irrigations. The actual medical benefit of colonic irrigation is controversial.

Answer 3

Colon hydrotherapy. It is done by a professional who will monitor the process. It is not painful, and actually quite a good way to clean your intestinal tract. Many people who are severly bloated or have enlarged abdomens have a lot of fecal material stuck, and this helps to flush it out, and actually the person will see their abdomen reduce in size and feel better. you can find a colon hydrotherapy center in most cities around the country.

Answer 4

A colonic

Answer 5

Colonospy, but you half to take citrate of magnesia which comes in a green glass bottle to prepare yourself to cleanse your colon. Drink it on an empty stomach like early in the morning on a day you know you will be home and close to the bathroom cause believe me it really does a good job. It not only cleanses your colon, it also cleanses your liver, etc. You can do this once a month and it won't hurt your stomach acturally its good for you makes you feel healthier and better.

Answer 6

as answered above. Please investigate and understand the procedure. It is generally one big enema that costs you big bucks. An enema is what you get in medical treatment if you are constipated (full of you know). A big hose with liquid is suppost to cleanse your bowel. Personally in my 18 years of working in the medical field I do not support this. It was way better to eat a balanced diet of fruit and vegetables to have a healthy bowel regime. This includes drinking lots of water.
Abuse of laxatives, enemas and colonhydrotherapy trains your bowel to rely on these methods to go poo. Good way to cause more problems. Best advice speak with a medical doctor.
