Are Temperatures Of 52 Celsius Safe During Colonic Hydrotherapy Irrigation?
Question: Hi,
I went for a colonic hydrotherapy irrigation today. The water got very hot, up to 52 Celsius, but for a short time only.
I felt uncomfortable, and it felt way too hot. But since then I feel fine,so far.
I am just very worried as I read that this temperature is way too high and can cause damage. I worry a lot about my health and now I can’t sleep thinking about it.
Please help.
Kind regards
