Forget ‘No Carbs Before Marbs’, the A-List know that when it comes to getting bikini body ready the quickest and easiest way is with a colonic!
Celeb fans:
Ben Affleck, Courtney Love, Princess Di, Usher, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Jennifer Aniston The buzz:
It may sound scary but it really isn’t. The procedure involves a gentle infusion of warm water into the colon by means of special disposable tubing. The water soaks and dislodges faecal wastes that may have become trapped in the body as a side effect of stress, poor diet or insufficient exercise. Through the procedure the body is able to expel waste product which has not been eliminated (in the *ahem* usual way) becoming trapped in the pockets of the colon. As the water is passed into the colon it breaks down trapped waste flushing it out (it’s surprisingly relaxing!) An hour later and your tummy will feel flatter and less gassy. The results:
It feels a little strange at first but it’s not at all painful. Afterwards you’ll feel totally de-toxified and be the proud owner of a lighter feeling middle, better bowel movements, clearer skin and if you suffer from frequent headaches you may even find that they lessen. The details:
You must always visit a professional salon to have this done. Try EF Medispa on the Kings Road (a fave of celebs, socialites, princesses and models) where Victoria Cooper heads up the hydrotherapy team. She is a member of Association and Register of Colon Hydrotherapists, the leading professional body, since 2001. They’ll give you a full consultation first and assess your medical history to ensure the procedure is suitable. Price starts from £120 for the first treatment, £90 for each subsequent treatment. Visit efmedispa Psst!
Feeling fancy? Try the Californian Colonic, £250 for 2 hours, which involves a traditional colonic, followed by a shot of wheat grass passed into the colon and left for 15 minutes to ‘soak in’. Despite its erm, acquired taste, wheatgrass is packed with minerals, enzymes and chlorophyll which stops unfriendly bacteria in its tracks and cleanses the blood of toxins.
