Colonic hydrotherapy was first recorded in 1500BC, in the Ebers Papyrus, which dealt with the practice of medicine. Hippocrates recorded the use of enemas for fever therapy during the 4th century BC.
Pare in 1600AD offered the first distinction between colon irrigation and enemas. Back in history you can find some sort of bowel cleansing in many cultures.
Colonics were regularly used in hosiptals until laxatives became more commonly used after WW2. Chemical laxatives however have side effects and never cleanse the colon like a colonic.
Today colonics have become a common modality in treating disease. Colonics is like an internal bath designed to clean the whole colon.

This involves the gentle infusion of warm, filtered water into the rectum. The water stimulates the colon muscle to help recover its natural shape, tone & peristaltic action. Colonics cleanse the colon of poisons, gas, mucus, accumulated fecal matter or other matter that prohibits the colon from being healthy. Unlike an enema it does not involve the retention of water but is the gradual & gentle flowing of water in & out without the individuals help.
Colon health plays a major role in our wellbeing. When it is congested, poisons can back up & pollute our inner environment, this is called autointoxication, literally "self poisoning". Autointoxication can be a major factor in numerous serious diseases. The colon being the largest perpetrator of diseases of any organ in the body, is said to be the initiator of 80% of all critical illnesses. This need not happen with the correct diet, sufficient exercise, regular bowel movements & low stress, which are some of the areas that play important roles in a healthy colon & body.
