A high enema is an old term [now at least
20 years outdated] to describe a modern-day colonic. An enema
is a session where water is introduced into the large intestine
to capacity and the patient holds the water for a period of time,
then releases, generally into a toilet. In a colonic, there is
a continual flow of water that is introduced in small amounts
into the large intestine and then material loosened by the action
of the water is allowed to be eliminated. So it is more of a
lengthy washing process over the span of 15 to 50 minutes, depending
on the system used and the therapist's judgment. The difference
in benefit, is that enemas hyperinflate the muscles of the large
intestine, weakening natural peristalsis over time, whereas a
colonic is designed to exercise those muscles and gradually strengthen
them over time.
For more info - you may want to check the website for I-ACT,
the International Association for Colon Therapy. Also, you wanted
to know about colonics in New Hampshire. We are in Boston, but
there is a general listing of all certified people, which gives
three therapists in New Hampshire:
Colon Care Center * West Lebanon, NH * 603-298-8588
Being Balanced * Nashua, NH * 603-883-3232
Full Circle Colon Hydrotherapy * Milford, NH * 603-672-2350
Vermont does not list any certified therapists
with I-ACT. I hope this helps
