Turmeric Infusion
Reviewed by our qualified colonic hydrotherapists — naturopaths and allied health practitioners, including ATMS, ANTA and MAA members
A turmeric infusion pairs turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties with ginger, cinnamon and chamomile, introduced during your closed-system colonic session as one of four optional add-ons.
How it works
The blend is designed to be soothing to the gut lining while supporting the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response — turmeric is the base, with ginger, cinnamon and chamomile each contributing their own calming, digestive-supportive properties.
Turmeric’s active compound is curcumin, which is notoriously poorly absorbed when taken by mouth. Introduced during a colonic session, it’s delivered directly through the colon wall rather than having to survive digestion first — the same reasoning behind the other infusions.
What it may help with
A turmeric infusion is commonly chosen alongside management of bloating, sluggish digestion and IBS, where a gentler, calming approach is often preferred to a more stimulating infusion like coffee.
Who shouldn’t have one
Turmeric infusions aren’t suitable for everyone. Your practitioner will advise against this option if you have gallstones or a bile duct obstruction, a bleeding disorder, a hormone-sensitive condition, or active diarrhoea — this is covered in the pre-session screening before any infusion is added to your visit.
Tell us as well if you take an anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication — warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, clopidogrel and similar. Curcumin can add to their blood-thinning effect, so it’s a conversation to have with your practitioner, and with the doctor who prescribed it, before an infusion is added.
Booking a turmeric infusion
Infusions are freshly prepared each day and need to be requested in advance, so let us know ahead of your visit — same-day cancellations incur the full infusion fee. New clients become eligible from their third session onwards.
After that, an infusion can only be added if your last regular session was within the last 3 months, so your practitioner has a current picture of your health — including any medication changes — when judging whether it’s appropriate. If it’s been longer than that, or you’re not sure where you stand, contact us and we’ll check with your treating practitioner before you book. See our fees page for current pricing.
