FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will insurance pay for a colonic?
Yes, but only if your doctor claims a colonic is medically necessary on a prescription. He  would have to state how many colonics are necessary and why.  You would give the prescription with the code number and my letter to your insurance for reimbursement but you would pay me first and if you are eligible by your insurance, get reimbursed later by them.

How much does it cost?( $70.00 without a colon cocktail just a colonic)
With a colon cocktail program and a diet to follow plus a proper food combining program, the colonic is $80.00 per session and the session is one hour long, plus a half hour more to explain your program so total time 1 1/2 hour for the $80.00 session. The cost includes an individualized colon cocktail program to be followed at home for your small intentine to soften the dubree and have all the waste in the small intestine flow properly if you follow your colonic cocktail program, your colonic and your proper diet for one week. You will also be given proper food combining charts to follow at home and help you eat better avoiding gas, bloat, and to have bowel movements more regular.

If You choose the $80.00 dollar session, your next colonic will then be $70.00 dollars a session.  

What ever you choose you will getting your colonic, again, if just a colonic it is $70.00 for 45 minutes or if you choose to get a program to soften the waste in your 25 to 35 foot small intestine (colon cocktail, plus diet, plus proper food combining charts) that session will be $80.00.

Also, if a client cannot show up for their appointment, a call and cancellation is necessary. The call needs to be within 24 hour before your session or there will be a $50.00 dollar no show fee. If there is no call at all there will be a $70.00 fee for not calling and cancelling.  Please, always give the courtesy of a call to the colonic therapist so she has time to give another person that time slot for a colonic. Even if she is in a session and does not answer, leave the message and your number and she will reschedul you at the end of the day.

Thank You Much

Some people ask how many sessions will they need to empty their large intestine and I tell them if you are on your colonic cocktail and following your diet, probably 1-4 sessions before your colon will dump and then you would just keep up your maintance and maintance of the colon is different for everyone.  I myself like to have a colonic every month or month and a half to maintain a healthy colon.

Am I certified and for how long have I been doing Colonics?
Yes I am certified colonic therapist from three different schools, nationwide. I have been a Colonic Therapist since 1994 and I work with only closed Colonic Systems, a closed Colonic Unit (CLOSED COLONIC UNITS).

Who should get a Colonic?
Anyone, if you want to maintain a healthy you, unless you have any contraindications. Also anyone who experiences:

How often should you have a colonic?
It is best procedure to have an initial colonic session before determining how many colon sessions will be recommended for you. Again, the duration and frequency of the cleansing of the colon varies from one individual to another. Some people have a slow metabolism, a compromised immune system, and constipation. People who eat out a lot and do not want to worry about picking up parasites should maintain their colon with regular colonics.

What should I expect the first time?
You need to call to make an appointment. I will recommend you prepare a day with your diet before your colonic it is not totally necessary if you eat a lot of fruits and vegatables in your diet. It is very simple, when you come into the office, you will fill out a health form, then I leave the room as you empty your bladder in the bathroom. You will change into your gown and booties and get onto the table and put your cover on. I will then come into the room and there will be relaxing music playing as we begin the colonic procedure. I will open the bag of disposables in front of you. The speculum goes into your buttocks 1 ½”, and attached to the speculum is the waste tube and the water tube. You will be comfortably resting on your back and the view tube is in front of you so you can see all if you want. I will be explaining to you everything that is going on. Most importantly, there is no pain in having a colonic and a colonic session lasts for only an hour on the table.

What is the difference between the Wood Hygienic Gravity Colonic Unit and Someone who is advertising an Open unit as a gravity colonic unit?(A big difference)
The Wood Hygienic Gravity Closed Colonic Unit is a gravity run unit and has tubing which empties into the sewage system and is run by the Colonic Therapist at all times explaining the process to you just as they do with the two other closed colonic Systems A Touch Of Warmth works with. All three units are similar, the client would be on a fill, an empty,a constant rotation, and soak. The Wood Colonic closed Unit can also put you on the same fill, empty,constant rotation, and soak, but it is done manually by the Colonic Therapist. The units others call Open Gravity is only on a constant rotation. Always ask if you are on an Open or Closed Colonic Unit. I recommend a Closed Safe Colonic for all the reasons above.

Is their a difference between a colonic and a high colonic?  No a colonic and a high colonic are the same just as colonic irrigation, colonic hydrotherapy, colonic therapy it is the cleaning of the 5 to 7 foot large intestine with a closed colonic unit. 

My Colonic Clinic, A Touch Of Warmth in Edison, New Jersey,  is the only clinic that uses a CLOSED and safe colonic unit...all the others that advertise colonics are open colonic units and in my opinion they are not safe, you can always call me and ask about the difference between the closed and open colonic units and I will be happy to explain if you did not get a chance to read my site.  However,  I am with you at all times running the closed colonic unit I do not leave you, you are safe, you are relaxed, there is no pain, most of my clients go shopping after or have lunch out, some may go to their health spa, or some go back to work and come on a lunch hour.  You will not feel bad after a colonic at A Touch Of Warmth.  It is monitored, I am explaining every detail of your colonic, we will give you a program to strengthen your bowel muscle if it is weak, if the transferse colon stretched out and is full of waste, we will work on getting that up and back up above your belly button clean it out and get your elasticity back to that part of the colon with proper exercise  to  tone it and get it back to it's regular shape again.   You will be very happy to come to A Touch Of Warmth Colonics in Edison, New Jersey. You will not only get a clean colon you will know when it gets clogged and what to do when it does to eliminate what is bothering you.  Between your colonic and colon cocktail you will be one happy person.

The Colonic cocktail program is very important with your colonic so you can get back to a daily bowel movement again or if you never were regular start to have bowel movements on a daily basis like our bodys were made to do but due to stress, diet, and not enough exercise either any of the above or maybe improper food combining.  It is important to understand your colon and here at A Touch Of Warmth Colonics in Edison, New Jersey you will get all of the knowledge to get a happy colon and a happy you.

What is an electrolyte?
Electrolytes are the minerals that are necessary for the human body to maintain itself in a stable condition.

Will the electrolyte balance in my body be changed?
No In the study "Effects of Colon Hydrotherapy on on serum electrolytes" done in 1989, no patients experienced any clinically significant symptoms or disturbances.

How is the electrolyte balance affected by diarrhea?
Diarrhea is a result of the lining of the colon secreting large quantities of water and electrolytes in response to a chemical reaction such as laxatives. The water and accompanying electrolytes come from within the body, draining from the blood, tissue and cells. Diarrhea is also the result of rapid peristalic action, which causes a drain of ions to the muscles of the colon. Colon Hydrotherapy does not pull water from the body's systems, or irritate the bowel. Colon Hydrotherapy and diarrhea are not similar.

Why did I become a Colonic Therapist?
In 1978 I became a massage therapist and one year in 1983 I went on a weekend seminar to add to my skills in massage therapy and my partner in class was not only a massage therapist but also a Colonic Therapist. I had no idea what a Colonic Therapist was so I asked her about it she proceeded to explain colon therapy to me. I told her all my lifestyle, of all the ups and downs with constipation as a child for I was in the nurse's office more then the classroom. As an adult, I relied on laxatives during the weekends to clear out my colon so I could work the next week. I never knew if the laxative would make me run to the bathroom at any given time on my weekend so most of the time my weekends were ruined as a young adult. As time went on, problems grew, I suffered with a spastic colon too many laxatives, ulcerative colitis, IBS, and the worst fissures, the bleeding from fissures caused me to become anemic; doctors did not know if things would get better or not. After all I went through and meeting this girl I have to admit I doubted it would help me, I just could not believe it but she told me to try a colonic and I did. I had a series and I changed my diet, incorporated some exercise, have my maintenance when needed and now have for years I have had 2-3 bowel movements a day. Colonic Therapy was a miracle to me and changed my life forever as it does for many others who have had colonics. I always felt that I was my worst client, from the beginning with all my ailments until colon therapy helped rid me of my problems, and set me free!
