What is the Link?
Constipation has been regarded as a common symptom of depression for many years. However, the gut brain axis theory indicates that constipation may precede depression. This would mean that constipation can actually cause depression. A large – scale study completed in early 2024, considered the possibility of constipation causing depression. The outcome showed that people who suffered constipation were more than twice as likely to develop depression in the coming years. Even after considering the covariables, people were found to have a 48% higher risk of developing depression.
How can colonic hydrotherapy help with constipation?
Colonics help resolve constipation, including those who suffer from a neurogenic bowel by:
- Retraining the colon to adequately carry out peristalsis.
- Breaking down hard faecal matter and allowing it to pass.
- Ridding the bowel of built-up toxins that may be lining the colon.
- Resetting the good bacteria in the colon.
How can colonic hydrotherapy help with depression and anxiety?
Colonics can improve the microbiome in the colon by:
- Stabilising the microbiome in the colon and preventing Dysbiosis (altered abundance and diversity of microbiota; bacteria, fungi, and viruses).
- Establishing a microbiome that can improve serotonin transmission levels.
