The ileocaecal valve prevents water from entering the small intestine and the two way circuit prevents the large intestine from overfilling.

How is it different from enema?

Enema only reaches the rectum and lower part of the colon, whereas with colon hydrotherapy, the entire length of the colon isreached.
