Before and After Colon Hydrotherapy

From Tangie: "Losing 4 inches from my waist was a huge deal and really exciting for me but I have to say the biggest difference for me is in my face. I have less swelling and inflammation in body overall. You can tell when you look at my nose that it was a lot more swollen before. I also noticed less yellowing of my skin and a reduced appearance of dark circles under my eyes. At the time of this writing, I've had 3 colonics. I would recommend trying it at least once. I plan to visit once or twice a year. If it's available to you, go for gravity hydrotherapy rather than a colonic that uses pressurized water - the end result is similar but gravity hydrotherapy is just more comfortable and doesn't cause cramping. Also, I'm not a doctor. Trust your gut, your doctor, your homeopath or whomever you consult for your personal health."
