Colon Hydrotherapy in Houston
A modern, gentle approach to digestive wellness offered in a clean, private studio environment.
Last updated: January 2026 · Reviewed by Gravity One Studio's certified colon hydrotherapists
Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonics, is a gentle method of cleansing the large intestine using warm, purified water. The process helps soften and remove accumulated waste from the colon in a comfortable, private setting.
At Gravity One Studio, we use FDA-cleared equipment and follow strict hygiene protocols. Our certified therapists have years of experience helping clients feel at ease throughout the entire process.
How Does Colon Hydrotherapy Work?
During a colon hydrotherapy session, warm, purified water is gently introduced into the colon through a small, single-use rectal nozzle. The water softens waste material, which is then released naturally through the body's own elimination process.
This cycle of filling and releasing repeats several times throughout the session. The entire process uses only water — no drugs, chemicals, or additives. You remain covered and comfortable in a private room throughout.
Our Angel of Water system is an open-design, FDA-cleared device that allows you to control your experience with guidance from your therapist. Many clients find the process surprisingly relaxing.
