COLONIC IRRIGATION & STRESS RELIEF

Everybody has stress. Perhaps now more than ever. Due to recent global events many people are now suffering from stress and burn out. For many, 
colonic hydrotherapy and liver cleansing as well as probiotics and food sensitivity testing make sense as part
of a restorative health programme combined with dietary and lifestyle changes to combat stress.

Stress effects all our lives. It is considered the biggest cause of disease and depression in western society. Some of us are so stressed that we barely know how it feels to be as truly relaxed and peaceful as we naturally should.

WHAT STRESS DOES TO THE BODY

  • STRESS WEAKENS IMMUNE SYSTEM
  • Body is more susceptible to illness
  • Overtime this can lead to disease
  • STRESS KILLS – KILL STRESS

WHY STRESS EFFECTS THE BODY

  • Cortisol Vs Adrenaline (epinephrine)
  • The adrenal glands are located just above the Kidneys
  • They produce over 50 hormones
  • Including stress hormones known as cortisol & adrenaline

CORTISOL, WHAT ITS USED FOR

  • Waking-up in the Morning
  • In response to ordinary events
  • Regulate blood sugar
  • Regulate blood pressure
  • Create a balanced immune system
  • Homeostasis – body temperature

WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN DURING STRESS

An individual is faced with a stressor.
A complex hormonal cascade ensues, and the adrenals secrete cortisol. Cortisol & Adrenaline prepare the body for a fight-or-flight response by flooding it with glucose, supplying an immediate energy source to large muscles.
Cortisol & Adrenaline inhibit insulin production in an attempt to prevent glucose from being stored, favoring its immediate use. Cortisol & Adrenaline narrow the arteries while the epinephrine increases heart rate, both of which force blood to pump harder and faster.

Typical Stress Hormone Responses

  • Produced in extreme circumstances
  • Response to imminent danger
  • A shooting sensation up the spine
  • Increased heart rate, Instantly alert
  • Ready for action
  • Enables you to take immediate physical action without thinking
  • The individual addresses and resolves the situation.
  • Hormone levels return to normal

CHRONIC STRESS

Adrenaline & Cortisol become depleted through over stimulation

Adrenal glands are diminished

Difficulty getting out of bed for more than a few hours per day.

With each increment of reduction in adrenal function, every organ and system in your body is more profoundly affected.

Changes occur in your carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance, heart and cardiovascular system, and even sex drive.
