colonic
Large intestine cleanse
Colonic relates to the colon, the large intestine: colonic inflammation, colonic polyps.
As a noun, a colonic is a procedure that flushes water through the colon to cleanse it—also called colonic irrigation or colon hydrotherapy.
Proponents claim health benefits; medical consensus is skeptical.
