COLONIC IRRIGATION
ABOUT US
Enemas
An enema typically involves inserting a liquid into the rectum to stimulate a bowel movement. Relief is generally quick, but the effect is limited to the lower colon. Because they are self-administered, some people find the process awkward.
Colonics
A colonic session involves lying comfortably while warm, filtered water gently flows into the colon. Waste and gas are released naturally through a gravity-fed system, without odour or mess. Every speculum and related consumable is single-use and disposable, so nothing is ever reused. Many clients describe feeling lighter, less bloated, and more comfortable after their treatment.
Benefits Compared
- Digestive relief: Colonics may help reduce bloating and constipation more effectively than enemas, as they reach the whole colon.
- Comfort: Colonics are performed in a hygienic clinic setting with practitioner support, while enemas can feel messy or inconvenient.
- Wellbeing support: Some people find colonics help them feel clearer and more energised, as part of a general wellness routine.
Both enemas and colonics can be safe when used appropriately. At Colon Irrigation Melbourne:
- All equipment and consumables are one-time use and fully disposable.
- We carefully screen each client before treatment.
- We do not treat anyone over 75 years of age or those with certain health conditions unless they provide medical clearance from their healthcare provider.
With over 25 years of experience in practice, our clinic has a longstanding reputation for providing professional and safe care.
Common Questions
Is a colonic better than an enema?
It depends on your goals. Enemas provide short-term relief at home, while colonics are chosen for a more thorough cleanse and professional support.
Do colonics hurt?
They are generally comfortable. The LIBBE open system is designed to be gentle and private.
Are enemas messy?
Because they are self-administered, they can feel awkward or messy. Colonics avoid this issue by being performed in a clean clinic environment.
Who shouldn’t have a colonic?
Individuals with specific medical conditions should consult their healthcare provider for guidance. We also require medical clearance for clients aged 75 years or older.
Which Option is Right for You?
If you need temporary relief, an enema may be a suitable option. If you prefer a more comprehensive approach, with professional care and a full-colon cleanse, a colonic is likely the better choice.
At Colon Irrigation Melbourne, every treatment is tailored to your comfort and well-being.

What to Expect with Each Option
People often ask whether an enema or colonic irrigation is the better way to cleanse the digestive system. Both have their place, but they work quite differently, from the method of execution to the thoroughness of the cleanse, to the level of care and attention each one involves.
This article explains the main differences, what to expect with each, and how to decide which option may suit your needs.
Colonic Irrigation vs Enemas: Key Differences, Benefits, and What to Expect
A Brief Background
Enemas have been used for centuries as a way to relieve constipation or prepare for specific medical procedures. They act quickly but only clear the lower part of the bowel.
Colonic irrigation, also known as colon hydrotherapy, is a more modern approach to colon cleansing. It uses warm, filtered water to gently rinse the entire colon under the supervision of a professional. At Colon Irrigation Melbourne, we utilise the LIBBE open system, which enables clients to feel comfortable and private while still having a practitioner nearby for support if needed.
