Infusion of gravity-fed, temperature-regulated, purified water into the colon to hydrate, activate movement and eliminate accumulated waste.

Gumtree Retreat offers completely private sessions using a registered colon hydrotherapy device, delivered by certified therapists. Our colonic treatments are gentle, safe and an effective way to detox, rejuvenate and restore your body — whatever your current digestive concerns.

What is colon hydrotherapy?

Colon hydrotherapy — also known as a colonic or colonic irrigation — uses a pencil-thin tube that sits just 3 cm inside the anal opening to gently introduce purified, temperature-regulated water into the colon. Your body naturally releases the water along with accumulated waste. No drugs or chemicals are used — just filtered, temperature-controlled water.

The gentle, gravity-fed filling and emptying of the colon hydrates it and activates peristalsis — the colon's natural muscular movement. Over time this can help tone the bowel and improve digestive transit, ideally one comfortable bowel movement each day.

What is the colon — and why cleanse it?

The colon, or large intestine, is a muscular tube around 1.5 metres long whose role is to absorb water, vitamins and minerals and to form and eliminate waste from the body. It is also home to trillions of friendly bacteria that play a major role in your immune system and overall health.

When the colon becomes sluggish or congested with waste, toxins can build up and overwhelm the bloodstream, so the whole body stops functioning at its best. Colon hydrotherapy clears accumulated waste, helps vital nutrients absorb more efficiently, and creates a healthier environment for good bacteria to thrive — improving overall gut health.

What colon hydrotherapy may help with

Colon hydrotherapy is not a cure-all, but many people find it a valuable support for a wide range of concerns, and a great kick-start to any cleanse or weight-management program:

  • Constipation & sluggish bowel movements
  • Bloating & poor digestion
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
  • Low immunity & low energy
  • Skin problems
  • Irritability & low mood

A gentle, professional experience

Your session begins with a health consultation. You'll then take yourself to a completely private room where you gently position yourself and self-insert the slim pencil-thin tube — it sits just 3 cm inside the anal opening, so the process is far more comfortable and dignified than many people expect.

Warm, purified water flows in gently and is released naturally, repeated comfortably across a 30–45 minute session. There's no odour, no mess, and our certified therapists guide you through every step.

  • Feels just like a normal bowel movement
  • Complete privacy & easy self-insertion
  • Hygienic — disposable supplies & strict sanitising
  • Certified, experienced therapists
  • No odour or mess with the LIBBE system

Colon Hydrotherapy FAQs

Is colon hydrotherapy safe?

Yes. Sessions are gentle, completely private and suitable for men and women of all ages. We use a TGA-registered LIBBE device with disposable supplies and a strict hygiene protocol, and certified therapists guide you through the whole process.

Is colon hydrotherapy painful?

No, it should not be painful. You may feel mild contractions or pressure as the colon fills and empties — like just before a bowel movement — which passes as you release the water. Most people feel light and refreshed afterwards.

How do I prepare for colon hydrotherapy?

No preparation is essential, but avoiding food for about 2 hours beforehand and eating light meals on the day makes the session more comfortable. Keep hydrated, and minimise caffeine, alcohol, sugar and heavy foods for a day or two prior.

How much does colon hydrotherapy cost?

A single session is $120. Our Colonic & Sauna Bundle is 3 colonics plus 3 infrared sauna sessions for $375, and we also offer Feel Good, Feel Great and Feel Amazing detox packages. Call 02 6649 4464 to book.
