Avenues 2 Health, in Larchmont, serves Lower Westchester and Fairfield County with a gentle method of colonics that can be used as an adjunct to a cleanse, a seasonal “reboot” for the body, or in conjunction with a doctor’s or nutritionist’s health advice.

Colonics are a process in which gentle, flowing water is slowly introduced into the colon. In the “soaking stage” it’s like an internal bath, softening and loosening accumulated matter and encouraging muscular contractions throughout the digestive tract, resulting in a natural release. Cherie Danielle-Lemos, certified colon hygienist and owner of A2H, says colonics provide a more comprehensive cleanse than an enema, which reaches primarily the descending colon.

“A colonic can provide valuable information regarding your health,” she says. “A2H provides a safe, peaceful respite where you can discover colonics as part of your wellness journey.”

A2H uses the Woods Gravity Method of colonics, often considered the safest, most effective method, Danielle-Lemos says.

“Simple gravity, combined with the consistent in-out flow of filtered water, encourages elimination without force,” she says. “Colonics often offer you relief from a variety of disturbances like constipation, yeast imbalance and detox conditions, and a short series of colonics can help to tone and strengthen the colon.”

Bookings are by appointment. Free initial phone consults are available.
