About

NBCHT - Who we are

The National Board for Colon HydroTherapy (NBCHT) is a nationally recognized body formed to set competency standards for those who practice colon hydrotherapy. It accomplishes its mission by establishing and maintaining a recognized and credible credentialing program that evaluates the competency of the practitioners.

  • Established in 2000 by the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy (I-ACT), a voluntary, not-for-profit organization.

  • Founded by a group of therapists who recognized the need to formalize the training and credentialing of those who perform colon hydrotherapy.

  • The NBCHT became an independent organization by separating from I-ACT in 2013.

Governed by a 5-Member Board of Directors

4:1 representation
