colonics
Internal water cleansing
Colonics is the popular term for colon hydrotherapy—a procedure where water is flushed through the large intestine to remove waste.
Proponents claim health benefits from detoxification, though medical evidence for these claims is limited.
The word usually appears in plural form even when referring to a single treatment: She gets colonics once a month.
