Frequently Asked Questions
Why should you do a Detox Programme?
Although the human body cleanses itself through the colon, liver, kidney and gallbladder organs, due to our urban upbringing, we have acquired an excessive amount of pollutants not seen in a natural environment. Air and water pollution, processed food and stress all wear down the bodies natural facilities for detoxification. The Detox Programme at Le Spa assists the body by removing those pollutants that come from our modern world.
Why should you do this Detox Programme?
The Le Spa Detox Programme is not a 'fad diet'. Created from well established detox/fasting programmes in the Far East, the Le Spa programme is safe and effective. Your caloric intake is approximately 300 calories a day. Due to the herbal supplements, healing vegetable broths, juices and drinks, the sugar and nutrition levels of the body do not decline.
Whats involved?
The colon is allowed to fill with a mixture of warm water, coffee solution and cider vinegar. The action of releasing the mixture will cleanse the colon.
Why is colon clensing used?
The colon is the major organ for removal of waste in the body. This programme uses detox drinks to pull the toxins from the body which are then expelled through the colonics. The Le Spa Detox Programme is not intended to replace the natural detoxifying abilities of the body, but rather to assist and facilitate the cleansing process that occurs in the body. After completing a cleanse using the Le Spa Detox Programme, the detoxifying organs of the body (the liver, gallbladder, kidneys and colon) will be revitalised and work with greater efficiency.
Why is the Colon Cleansing treatment self administered?
The treatment takes place in a completely private room, reserved just for you, so there is absolutely no need for any embarrassment or any feelings of discomfort. You will always be in control and can therefore stop the flow of liquid any time you wish. Full instructions are available in each treatment room, but you will also receive advice and guidance during your Induction to the programme, upon arrival.
Will the colon cleanse destroy all the “good” bacteria that resides in the colon?
On all the Le Spa Detox Programmes, a special pro-biotic supplement is given, to be taken at the end of the day before retiring for bed. This helps to return the right balance of “friendly/good” bacteria to the colon.
