Colon hydrotherapy, also called colonic irrigation, is a treatment intended to wash out the contents of the large bowel using large volumes of water or other liquid delivered as an enema. Liquid is introduced into the colon and then flushed out, and the process is repeated until practitioners consider the colon fully cleared. It is offered as an alternative medicine treatment on the claim that it removes toxins from the digestive tract, though there is no scientific evidence supporting that claimed benefit.
