💧Prep Work Matters: Why Prepping Before Your Colonic Makes All the Difference

If you’re scheduling a colon hydrotherapy session, first of all, YES! You're taking a powerful step toward releasing what no longer serves you, both physically and energetically. But the real magic happens when you prepare.

How you show up matters.
When you prepare your body with intention and the right hydration practices, your colon is able to release deeper layers of waste with far more comfort and far less resistance.

Let’s dive into the why, the how, and the hydration protocol that helps your session go from meh to miraculous.

💦 Your 7-Day Pre-Colonic Hydration Protocol

For best results, drink 3 to 4 liters of distilled water daily in the week leading up to your session. That’s as close to a gallon as possible (128 oz), and your body will love you for it. A liter is 32 oz of water.

To each 1-liter bottle of distilled water, add:

¼ teaspoon of pink Himalayan sea salt

¼ teaspoon of baking soda

¼ teaspoon of Epsom salt (plain white magnesium sulfate)

Sip slowly throughout the day. Spread it out... this is not a chugging contest. Your body absorbs water best when it’s introduced gradually. If you don't have all three on hand do the one that you have at the minimum and try to get the other ones. Aluminum-free baking soda is preferred Bob's Red Mill makes a great one.

🧂Why These Ingredients?

Let’s break it down:

🌊 Pink Himalayan Salt

Contains over 80 trace minerals your body needs.

Draws water into the colon for natural lubrication

Gently stimulates peristalsis (bowel movement)

Supports adrenal function and electrolyte balance

🧪 Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate)

A natural alkalizer and detox supporter.

Helps neutralize excess acidity

Encourages a more alkaline terrain

Supports lymphatic drainage and kidney function

🌿 Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate)

Gives you that sweet, sweet magnesium.

Relaxes smooth muscles (hello, easier release)

Reduces tension and anxiety

Draws water into the bowel without causing harsh urgency

💧Why Distilled Water Is Queen of the Clean

Distilled water is the most pure and empty form of water, and that’s exactly why it’s so powerful during detox.

Unlike tap or spring water, distilled water has:

No inorganic minerals (the kind that accumulate in joints, tissues, and organs)

No heavy metals, fluoride, or chemical residues

A higher capacity to pull and bind to toxins and waste in the body

Think of it as a blank canvas, it has space to grab hold of debris and es**rt it out, rather than depositing more clutter in your internal environment.

Distilled water is particularly helpful during detox because it:

Helps remove calcified deposits in tissues

Supports kidney and liver detox pathways

Promotes cleaner lymphatic flow

When used intentionally and with the added minerals of pink Himalayan sea salt, distilled water is an excellent way to reset the body’s terrain and prepare for deep colonic release.

✨ What Clients Report When They Prep:

Deeper, easier bowel releases

Far less cramping or gas

Less emotional resistance and more peace

A blissful sense of lightness after their session

🧘🏽‍♀️Your Colonic Is a Sacred Reset

And this hydration ritual is part of the sacred preparation. When you take the time to love and support your body, your colon responds in kind. This isn’t just plumbing maintenance, it’s soul-level spring cleaning.

Prep like you mean it. Release like never before!!!

Why Prep Work Matters Before a Colonic: Unlocking a Deeper, Easier Cleanse

If you’ve scheduled a colonic — especially your very first one — you might be wondering:
“Do I really need to do any prep beforehand?”

The answer is no... but if you want to make the most of your session, feel more comfortable, and release way more old waste, then yes — a little prep work goes a long way.

---

💧 The Magic Mix: The Prep Water

Here’s what I recommend:

In every liter of water (32 oz) you drink throughout the day, mix in:

¼ tsp pink Himalayan sea salt

¼ tsp plain white Epsom salt (unscented, food-grade)

¼ tsp aluminum-free baking soda (like Bob’s Red Mill)

Drink 3–4 liters of this salt water per day, for at least 7–14 days before your colonic.

---

🧬 Why This Works:

1. Softens and loosens waste in the colon, making it much easier to release on the table

2. Starts a gentle flush at home — yes, you might have some loose bowels or even diarrhea, and that’s okay! That means it’s working

3. Reduces discomfort, pressure, and cramping during the session

4. Speeds up results — people who prep properly often need far fewer sessions

---

📏 The Big Picture: Your Colon Is Long and Holds A Lot

The average colon is about 5–6 feet long, 2½ inches wide, and can hold pounds of old waste — stuff that’s been stuck in there for months, years, or even decades in some cases.

The International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy recommends 6 to 12 colonics to clear the entire colon. But when people do serious prep work ahead of time?

👉 I often see that number cut in half — sometimes down to just 3 to 6 sessions.

---

🚫 What Happens When You Don't Prep?

When clients skip the prep work:

They may feel more uncomfortable on the table

Release far less waste

Sometimes leak more (onto themselves or the table)

And often need more sessions to reach the same results

So prep work is not required, but it’s deeply supportive — especially for those who want to go all-in on healing.

---

🙌 And Don’t Worry — You’re Still Welcome Either Way

If you didn’t have time to prep or just found out about this, please still come in! I’ll always meet you where you are. My goal is to support your health and healing, whether you’re fully prepped or just taking the first step.

---

💡 Bonus Tip:

During prep, don’t trust a fart. 😂 This is a real detox — things will be moving.

Why Wearing 100% Organic Cotton or Linen Matters for Your Health

If you've ever poured lotion or oil on your skin, you’ve probably noticed something interesting: it disappears. But try that on a kitchen counter—it just sits there, oily and slick. That’s because your skin is not just a covering. It's your largest organ, and it’s incredibly absorbent.

Now think about this: if your skin absorbs oils, lotions, and serums... what do you think it does with chemical dyes, flame retardants, pesticide residues, microplastics, and synthetic fabrics?

Your Skin: An Organ, Not Armor

Absorbs chemicals into the bloodstream

Plays a key role in detoxification (sweating, sebum, etc.)

Constantly interacts with whatever touches it—especially clothing

When you wear non-organic or synthetic materials (like polyester, nylon, acrylic), your body is soaking up residues from plastic, heavy metals, and chemical processing agents. These substances have been linked to skin irritation, hormone disruption, and long-term health effects.

Why Choose Organic Cotton & Linen?

1. No Pesticides or HerbicidesConventional cotton is one of the most chemically sprayed crops on the planet. Organic cotton avoids all of that—and your skin thanks you.

2. No Toxic Dyes or FinishesMany textiles are treated with formaldehyde, flame retardants, and heavy metal-based dyes. Organic textiles avoid or minimize these harmful additives.

3. Breathable & Skin-FriendlyNatural fibers like cotton and linen allow your skin to breathe, regulate temperature, and wick moisture better than synthetics.

4. Supports Detox (Not Burdening It)If you're getting colonics, lymphatic drainage, or other detox therapies, wearing clean, non-toxic clothing helps your skin eliminate waste rather than reabsorb new toxins.

Synthetic Clothing: What’s the Harm?

Traps sweat and bacteria

Releases microplastics into your body and the environment

Often loaded with chemical softeners and dyes

Can interfere with energetic flow and grounding

"If you wouldn't eat it, why wear it on your skin 24/7?"

Easy Action Steps:

Start by switching your underwear, bras, SHEETS and sleepwear to organic cotton or linen.

Look for brands with GOTS or OEKO-TEX certification.

Wash new clothes before wearing to remove finishing agents.

Ditch synthetics in high-contact items (sheets, yoga pants, socks).

Your skin is sacred. Treat it that way.When we nourish ourselves from the outside in—starting with the clothes we wear—we take one more powerful step toward healing, balance, and radiant well-being.
