Formed in 2002, ACHA is Australia's first colon hydrotherapy association dedicated to the full spectrum of colon health, an area of health receiving much attention from health specialist across the globe, as statistics for colon related disease increases. Colon cancer alone for example, is responsible for approximately 4,000 deaths in Australia every year and 8,500 new cases diagnosed annually.

ACHA focuses on the closed sytem of colon hydrotherapy, which correlates more to hygiene practices expected and existing in established medical institutions, and which allows the water used in the treatment to be contained, and used in a more theraputic way.

We support colon therapists using the closed method of colon hydrotherapy.We work to bring to the general public a greater awareness of colon health. We set educational and professional standards within a rapidly growing colon health industry.

The Inaugural Australian Colon Health Symposium
ACHA is holding the first Colon Therapist Symposium. Members thought it was an appropriate time to meet and discuss topics related to the colon, so a working committee was formed to organise the Symposium. During the 3 days, there will be workshops on topics focused on the gut and intestines as well as 3 Guest Speakers presenting their specialised area of expertise regarding the bowel/colon.

The Symposium will be held in Surfers Paradise, starting on Thursday 29 April, Friday 30 April, and Saturday 1st May 2010. To be able to attend the Symposium contact the Administration Manager on
