While colonics might be a daunting thought for some, if one ever requires or desires this purportedly detoxifying treatment, Healing Waters Institute in Studio City is a great place to get flushed. The clean and cozy facility features state-of-the-art equipment that makes colon irrigation mostly comfortable and largely non-invasive. Owner Annabelle Cordova is a sage when it comes to colon health, and she's compassionate and funny to boot, gently guiding clients through the process while explaining exactly what's coming out of you, why it looks the way it does (yes, you can see it), and what you can do to make it look healthier. Foot reflexology and abdominal massage are performed during the session for greater “releases,” and the facility also offers a hyperbaric chamber and foot-detoxification therapy. Most folks leave with a better understanding of their digestive system, and a few pounds lighter to boot. 4343 Laurel Canyon Blvd., Studio City.
