HEALING POWER OF WATER

Hydrotherapy involves using water to treat diseases and ease physical pain. It is one of the oldest forms of medical treatment and the curative properties of water are recorded in the writings of several ancient cultures. Hippocrates advocated the benefits of both hot and cold water and prescribed them for a variety of complaints. In the Roman Empire, water’s role in a healthy lifestyle was epitomised by the key role that public baths played in Roman cultural life.

Following a revival in the 1800s, hydrotherapy is often employed today in treatments for a number of conditions, including arthritis, spinal injuries and burns. In the first half of the 1900s some institutions began installing communal baths to help treat children who had suffered muscular, skeletal and nerve damage as a result of diseases such as tuberculosis and polio.

Consuming ordinary drinking water by the right method purifies the human body. It renders the colon more effective in forming new fresh blood, known in medical terms as 'haemotopoiesis' (also known as haemopoiesis or hemopoiesis). That the mucousal folds of colon and intestines are activated by this method, is an undisputed fact. Just as the theory that new fresh blood is produced by the absorption of the nutrients of the food by the function of the mucousal. If the colon is cleaned then the nutrients of the food taken several times in a day will be absorbed and by the action of the mucousal folds, they are turned into fresh blood. This blood is all important in curing ailments and restoring health, and for this, water should be consumed in a regular pattern.

MIRACLES OF WATER THERAPY
Hydrotherapy embraces a number of treatments that involve using water at a range of temperatures. These can include whole-body steam baths, localised bathing of specific parts of the body, the use of water sprays, water enemas and the application of water-saturated bandages and wraps.

METHOD TO PRACTICE 'WATER THERAPY'
Every morning, as soon as one gets up, he should drink 1.26kg (1260cc/ml) of water at a stretch, without washing teeth, mouth, face or even eyes (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT). For the next 45 minutes, one SHOULD NOT EAT OR TAKE ANY BEVERAGES. After the Night Dinner (before going to bed), one SHOULD NOT EAT OR DRINK STIMULATING BEVERAGES OR SOFT DRINKS"Where water contains impurities, it should be boiled in the night to be used in the morning.
Now all this triggers the inevitable question: "Can sickly persons drink 1260cc (about 4 steel glasses of 320cc or 2 bottles of syrup) of water at a stretch?" Perhaps no. After drinking maximum quantity of water , one should do "SPOTWALKING", lie for one minute and then drink the remaining water. Those who are weak to walk should practise abdominal breathing in a sitting or a standing posture and drink the rest of the water. During the first one or two days, one may urinate three to four times within one hour of water intake. However everything will be normal within 3 or 4 days.

Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment for only 3 days. In the 1st week to be followed by daily treatment. Persons suffering from ARTHRITIS and RHEUMATISM should practice WATER THERAPY three times a day for one week and thereafter once in a day. While following this therapy, one should drink water 2 hours after a meal. One should not consume soft drinks or snacks or fast food before going to bed.

WATER THERAPY is very simple, in-expensive and miraculous in its effects. This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. NO SIDE EFFECTS.
