Healing Waters Hydrotherapy

Wellness begins with a balanced body, mind, and spirit. Colon health is a significant part of your digestive health.

Kim is a dedicated naturopath, biofeedback specialist, and colon hydrotherapist who focuses on detoxification, gut health, and energetic alignment to restore vitality and well-being. What happens in your digestion tract has an immense influence on your entire body. Often your body will "inform" you something is wrong. Many of us ignore telltale signs such as :
-low energy - brain fog-constipation-

over weight or difficulty to lose weight-trouble sleeping-unexplained headaches-skin problems. These symptoms become our normal, until our health deteriorates more. If you are experiencing any of these problems, you should consider colon hydrotherapy. A colonic therapist performs the colon cleanse while you rest on a table. Water is flushed through a tube into the rectum, toxins and waste is expelled through a different tube, the whole process is repeated. It is a closed system, there is no smell, everything is contained in the tubing. Each client has a prepackaged, disposable, one time use equipment. Warm water flows through the rectum into the colon for irrigation. The goal is to flush the entire colon through multiple filling and emptying cycles during the procedure. Usually, the whole procedure lasts around 40 minutes. Colon Hydrotherapy is a very gentle procedure for cleansing and detoxification of the colon.

Inside the Colon — Phase 2

Tissue Salt #12: Silica/Silicea— A Naturopathic Perspective

Strength • Structure • Resilience • Renewal

This morning we introduced Silica, the 12th and final Schüssler Tissue Salt, and looked at its traditional relationship with structure, connective tissue and the colon.

For our final Phase Two post, let’s step back and look at Silica from a broader naturopathic perspective.

🌿 SILICA — BUILDING FROM WITHIN

Silica is a naturally occurring mineral compound. Within traditional tissue-salt practice, Silicea has long been associated with the body’s structural and connective tissues.

Its traditional theme is one of:

Strength • Structure • Resilience • Renewal

From a naturopathic perspective, that gives us a beautiful reminder: health isn’t only about removing what the body doesn’t need. It’s also about nourishing, rebuilding and supporting the tissues that carry us forward.

Silicon is naturally present in foods such as whole grains, green beans and some vegetables, and the body contains small amounts of silicon, particularly within connective tissues.

💧 BRINGING IT BACK TO THE COLON

The colon is a living, active organ.

Its healthy function depends upon its muscular and connective tissues, nervous-system signaling, adequate hydration, the intestinal microbiome and coordinated movement.

When we support the colon naturally, we support the environment in which normal elimination can occur:

💧 Adequate hydration
🥬 Fiber-rich whole foods
🚶 Daily movement
🦠 A healthy intestinal microbiome
🧠 Supporting the gut-brain connection
🚽 Responding to the body’s natural urge to eliminate

When these foundations work together, we support the colon’s natural rhythm, rather than simply focusing on how often someone has a bowel movement.

💦 A COLON HYDROTHERAPY PERSPECTIVE

Colon hydrotherapy can assist with the evacuation of stool and provide an opportunity to become more aware of bowel habits, but lasting digestive health still comes back to what we do every day.

Water.
Nutrition.
Movement.
The microbiome.
The nervous system.
And listening to the body’s natural signals.

The goal isn’t to force the colon to work.

The goal is to support the conditions that allow the colon to do what it was designed to do.

✨ AND WITH THAT… PHASE TWO IS COMPLETE

Over this phase of Inside the Colon, we’ve explored all 12 of Schüssler’s Tissue Salts and their traditional relationships with the tissues and functions of the body.

But we’re not finished.

In Phase Three, we’re going back to the colon itself—and this is where our journey gets especially interesting.

We’ll begin exploring the 71 Colon Reference Points on the colon reflexology chart and looking at the traditional relationships attributed to different areas of the colon.

We’ll bring together what we’ve already learned about:

Anatomy • Tissue Salts • Colon Function • Naturopathic Support • Colon Hydrotherapy

One point at a time.

One connection at a time.

12 Tissue Salts • 71 Colon Reference Points • One Fascinating Journey

Thank you for following along through Phase Two.

Next stop: Phase Three — Exploring the Colon Chart. 🌿💧

Traditional tissue-salt and colon-reflexology concepts are complementary wellness traditions and are not established methods for diagnosing or treating disease.

Inside the Colon — Phase 2

Tissue Salt #12: Silica

Silicea • Silicic Acid
The Structure & Elimination Salt

We have made it to #12 — Silica, the final tissue salt in our journey through Schüssler’s 12 Tissue Salts.

Silica is traditionally associated with strength, structure, connective tissue and the body’s natural processes of elimination and renewal.

🌿 SILICA & THE COLON

When we look specifically at the colon, Silica has traditionally been associated with supporting the structure and integrity of connective tissues.

The intestinal wall is much more than a simple tube. It contains layers of connective tissue, smooth muscle, blood vessels, nerves and mucosal tissue that all work together to help move material through the digestive tract.

From the traditional Schüssler perspective, Silica is considered when there is a need to support:

• Healthy intestinal tone
• The structural integrity of connective tissue
• Normal elimination
• A sluggish or weakened digestive system
• The body’s natural processes of repair and renewal

💧 STRUCTURE + MOVEMENT + ELIMINATION

For the colon to function properly, it needs both structure and movement.

The muscular wall of the colon contracts in coordinated patterns called peristalsis and mass movements, helping move stool toward the re**um for elimination.

Healthy bowel function also depends upon:

Hydration → Fiber → Microbiome → Motility → Elimination

This is why we don’t want to think of colon health as simply “cleansing the bowel.”

We want to support the whole environment of the colon.

🌱 SILICA — THE STRUCTURAL THEME

Silica is perhaps best known in traditional tissue-salt practice for its association with connective tissues throughout the body, including the skin, hair and nails.

Its traditional theme is one of:

Strength • Structure • Resilience • Renewal

And that makes Silica a beautiful salt to finish our series.

✨ TISSUE SALT #12 — SILICA

Traditionally associated with structure, connective tissue, resilience and elimination.

And with Silica, we have now met all 12 of Schüssler’s Tissue Salts.

But our Inside the Colon journey isn’t finished yet.

We started with the anatomy of the digestive tract.
Then we explored the 12 Tissue Salts.

Next, we’ll bring everything together as we begin exploring the 71 Colon Reference Points and their connections throughout the body.

12 Tissue Salts • 71 Colon Reference Points • One Fascinating Journey

Traditional tissue-salt uses come from the Schüssler system and are not evidence that Silica treats constipation, digestive disease or other medical conditions.

🌿 DETOX FRIDAY — SUPPORT THE WAY YOUR BODY ALREADY DETOXES

Your body is working every single day to process and eliminate what it no longer needs. Detoxification isn’t just about taking a cleanse—it’s also about creating daily habits that support the organs doing this work.

This week, let’s keep it simple and focus on lifestyle support:

🫁 LUNGS — BREATHE
Take time for slow, deep breathing and get outside for fresh air. Your lungs continually remove carbon dioxide and help maintain healthy acid-base balance.

🌿 LIVER — NOURISH
Give your liver a little less work. Choose whole foods, reduce unnecessary alcohol and highly processed foods, and include plenty of colourful vegetables.

💧 KIDNEYS — HYDRATE
Your kidneys depend on adequate fluid to filter the blood and produce urine. Sip water throughout the day rather than waiting until you feel thirsty.

✨ SKIN — MOVE & CARE FOR IT
Movement supports circulation, while normal sweating helps regulate body temperature. Gentle skin care, bathing, and avoiding excessive exposure to irritating chemicals can also support this important barrier organ.

🌱 LYMPHATIC SYSTEM — KEEP MOVING
Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system does not have a heart-like central pump. Walking, stretching, diaphragmatic breathing, and normal muscle movement all help move lymph through the body.

🌾 COLON — KEEP THINGS MOVING
Hydration, fibre-rich whole foods, movement, and responding to your body’s natural urge to have a bowel movement all support regular elimination.

You don’t always need to do more to support detoxification.

Sometimes it is about returning to the basics:
Breathe. Hydrate. Nourish. Move. Rest. Eliminate.

Small daily choices add up. 💚

Your body knows how. Let’s support it together.

Inside the Colon — Phase 2

Tissue Salt #11: Natrum Sulphuricum (Nat. Sulph.)

Sodium Sulphate — The Water & Elimination Salt

As we continue our journey through Schüessler’s 12 Tissue Salts, we come to #11 Natrum Sulphuricum, commonly called Nat. Sulph.

Traditionally, Nat. Sulph. is known as the tissue salt associated with water balance, the liver, bile flow and elimination—which makes it especially interesting when we’re talking about the colon.

🌿 NAT. SULPH. & THE COLON

From the traditional Schüessler perspective, Nat. Sulph. helps the body manage excess water and waste products and supports their movement toward elimination.

In relation to the bowel, it has traditionally been considered when there is:

• Sluggish bowel function
• A tendency toward constipation or irregular elimination
• Bloating and abdominal fullness
• A feeling of heaviness or sluggishness
• Digestive complaints associated with the liver and gallbladder

💧 THE LIVER → BILE → COLON CONNECTION

This is where Nat. Sulph. becomes particularly interesting.

The liver produces bile, the gallbladder stores and concentrates it, and bile is released into the small intestine to help digest fats.

Most bile acids are recycled, but a small amount continues into the colon.

Bile also interacts with our gut microbiome and intestinal motility, so healthy liver, gallbladder and bowel function are very interconnected.

Think of it as:

Liver → Bile → Digestion → Intestinal Motility → Elimination

🌱 NAT. SULPH. — SUPPORTING FLOW

In traditional tissue-salt practice, Nat. Sulph. is often described as a remedy for elimination and fluid balance.

I like to think of its traditional theme as:

Move what needs to move.
Release what the body no longer needs.
Support healthy elimination.

And when we’re talking about colon health, that’s an important principle.

A healthy colon isn’t about being completely “empty” or “clean.” It’s about maintaining healthy hydration, microbial balance, motility, stool consistency and regular elimination.

💦 COLON HYDROTHERAPY PERSPECTIVE

For someone struggling with sluggish elimination, we also want to look beyond the bowel itself.

Is there adequate water intake?
Enough fiber and whole foods?
Daily movement?
Healthy bile flow?
Stress affecting the gut-brain connection?
Is the person responding to the natural urge to have a bowel movement?

Supporting the colon means supporting the whole digestive and elimination pathway.

Tissue Salt #11 — Natrum Sulphuricum
Traditionally associated with water balance, liver and gallbladder function, and elimination.

Traditional tissue-salt uses are based on the Schüessler system and should not be interpreted as evidence that Nat. Sulph. treats constipation or liver/gallbladder disease.

INSIDE THE COLON — PHASE TWO
Schuessler’s 12 Tissue Salts

#11 — NAT SULPH

Sodium Sulphate • Natrum sulphuricum

Today we continue around our circle of 12 tissue salts and meet:

Tissue Salt #11 — Nat Sulph

And the words I want you to remember are:

LIVER • BILE • FLOW 🌿💧

Within the traditional Schuessler tissue-salt system, Nat Sulph is commonly associated with fluid balance and the liver and biliary system.

Traditionally, Nat Sulph has been associated with:

• Liver and gallbladder support
• Bile and digestive function
• Fluid balance
• Excess or retained fluid
• Digestive complaints traditionally associated with rich or fatty foods
• Supporting the body’s natural processes of elimination

For our Inside the Colon journey, Nat Sulph gives us an opportunity to look upstream.

BEFORE THE COLON, THERE IS THE LIVER.

Your liver produces bile.

Bile travels through the biliary system and can be stored and concentrated in the gallbladder.

When we eat—particularly when fat enters the small intestine—the gallbladder can release bile into the duodenum.

Why?

Because bile helps the body emulsify fats, breaking large fat droplets into smaller droplets so digestive enzymes can work more effectively.

But bile has another important role.

BILE IS ALSO A ROUTE OF ELIMINATION.

The liver can secrete substances into bile, which then travels into the intestinal tract. Some components are reabsorbed and recycled, while others eventually leave the body through the stool.

So the liver, gallbladder, intestines and colon aren’t working as isolated organs.

They’re communicating and working together.

LIVER → BILE → INTESTINE → COLON

And that makes the traditional picture of Nat Sulph particularly interesting within our series.

It reminds us that when we’re talking about bowel health, sometimes we need to look at what is happening before material ever reaches the colon.

PRODUCE • FLOW • ELIMINATE 💧

Nat Sulph has traditionally been connected with liver and biliary function, but this does not mean the tissue salt has been scientifically established to increase bile flow, “detoxify” the liver or treat liver/gallbladder disease.

Rather, it gives us another opportunity to appreciate how beautifully connected our digestive system really is.

Healthy elimination isn’t the job of one organ.
It’s a whole-body process. 🌿

This afternoon, we’ll take Nat Sulph one step further and look at the liver–bile–bowel connection from a practical naturopathic perspective.

Educational information only. Traditional Schuessler tissue-salt uses are not established treatments for liver, gallbladder, fluid-balance or gastrointestinal disorders. Persistent right-upper abdominal pain, jaundice, pale stools, dark urine or other concerning symptoms require medical assessment.

INSIDE THE COLON — PHASE TWO
Schuessler’s 12 Tissue Salts

#10 — NAT PHOS

The Naturopathic Perspective 🌿

This morning we met Nat Phos — Sodium Phosphate, traditionally associated in the Schuessler tissue-salt system with acid digestion and acid-base balance.

Now let’s look at “acidity” from a naturopathic perspective.

Because there is one thing I teach over and over again:

YOUR STOMACH IS SUPPOSED TO BE ACIDIC.

Stomach acid isn’t something the body accidentally produces.

We need an acidic stomach environment to help begin protein digestion, activate the enzyme pepsin and contribute to the stomach’s normal defense against organisms entering with food.

Then something fascinating happens.

As those acidic stomach contents move into the duodenum, the environment needs to change.

The pancreas releases bicarbonate-rich fluid, which helps neutralize the incoming acid and creates conditions that allow digestive enzymes to continue doing their work.

ACID → NEUTRALIZE → CONTINUE DIGESTION

Different environments.

Different jobs.

Beautifully coordinated by the body.

And here’s another important distinction:

YOUR BLOOD DOES NOT NEED TO BE “ALKALIZED” BY YOUR DIET.

Blood pH is maintained within a very narrow range primarily through the work of the lungs and kidneys, along with the body’s chemical buffering systems.

Your lungs regulate carbon dioxide.

Your kidneys regulate acids and bicarbonate.

Meanwhile, different areas of your digestive tract are supposed to have different pH environments.

So our naturopathic lesson from Nat Phos isn’t:

“Acid is bad.”

It’s:

THE RIGHT CHEMISTRY, IN THE RIGHT PLACE, AT THE RIGHT TIME. 🌿

TODAY’S ONE TIP

If you regularly experience heartburn, reflux, sour belching or indigestion, don’t automatically assume you simply have “too much acid” and continually try to neutralize it yourself.

Persistent symptoms deserve investigation because reflux and indigestion can have many different causes, and treatment depends upon what is actually happening.

Nat Phos gives us three wonderful words to remember:

DIGEST • NEUTRALIZE • BALANCE

The body doesn’t need every environment to be the same.

It needs each environment to be appropriate for the job it’s designed to do. 💧🌿

Next, we’ll continue around our circle with Tissue Salt #11.

Educational information only. Traditional Schuessler tissue-salt uses are not established treatments for reflux, heartburn or acid-base disorders. Frequent or persistent reflux, difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal bleeding or unexplained weight loss requires medical assessment.

INSIDE THE COLON — PHASE TWO
Schuessler’s 12 Tissue Salts

#10 — NAT PHOS

Sodium Phosphate • Natrum phosphoricum

Today we continue around our circle and meet:

Tissue Salt #10 — Nat Phos.

And our word for today is:

BALANCE. 🌿

Within the traditional Schuessler tissue-salt system, Nat Phos is commonly associated with acidity, digestion and acid-base balance.

Traditionally, it has been considered when there are symptoms described as:

• Acid indigestion
• Heartburn or sour stomach
• Sour belching
• Digestive discomfort after eating
• Acid or sour-smelling digestive complaints
• Conditions traditionally described as involving “excess acidity”

For this reason, Nat Phos is sometimes referred to in tissue-salt literature as the:

“ACID-BALANCING” TISSUE SALT.

But here’s an important distinction.

Your body’s actual blood pH is very tightly controlled.

The lungs help regulate carbon dioxide, while the kidneys regulate acids and bicarbonate. Your digestive system also naturally contains very different pH environments.

And that’s exactly how it should be.

YOUR STOMACH IS SUPPOSED TO BE ACIDIC.

Stomach acid helps begin protein digestion and contributes to the stomach’s normal protective environment.

Then, as stomach contents enter the small intestine, bicarbonate-rich secretions—particularly from the pancreas—help neutralize that acidity so digestion can continue in a different environment.

So naturopathically, the goal isn’t to make the entire body “alkaline.”

It’s to appreciate something much more sophisticated:

THE BODY CREATES DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS FOR DIFFERENT JOBS.

Acid where acid is needed.

Neutralization where neutralization is needed.

And tightly regulated balance throughout the body.

That makes Nat Phos such an interesting stop on our Inside the Colon journey.

Its traditional teaching gives us an opportunity to remember:

Healthy digestion isn’t about eliminating acid.
It’s about having the right chemistry in the right place at the right time.

DIGEST • NEUTRALIZE • BALANCE 🌿

This afternoon, we’ll bring Nat Phos specifically into the digestive tract and look at one fascinating part of this acid-to-alkaline transition.

Educational information only. Traditional Schuessler tissue-salt uses are not established treatments for reflux, heartburn, acid-base disorders or gastrointestinal disease. Frequent or persistent heartburn should be medically evaluated.
