Water is one of the most powerful natural medicines known to mankind. Its physiological effects on the body are so pronounced that its proper application can accelerate the process of healing. A person on medication can use water to feel better quickly.
However, water is a double-edged sword. If used properly, it gives good results. Its improper application may prove detrimental.
What makes water superior
Water has four remarkable properties, all of which render it a valuable healing agent:
1. It has great power of absorption and communication or giving up heat
2. It is a great solvent (universal solvent).
3. It is available in three forms - liquid, solid and gas (steam)
4. Adaptability to the form of the container
Curing thirst
It is only water that can cure thirst. Soft drinks or a cold beer may temporally eliminate the symptoms of thirst but cannot cure it. This is so because water is an integral factor of our human body. Water makes up 70% of the human body.
Boosting health
Take a glass of water just after waking up, half an hour before each meal and two hours after each meal. Take water during the course of the day. Its temperature should be neither too high nor too low. Taking less quantities of water leads to constipation and affects the functioning of the kidney. Taking water promptly and correctly accelerates the healing process.
To treat your body
Bathing has a unique importance in our daily life. A bath washes away the dirt on the body, making the skin clean and glowing. The pores are opened up thus facilitating the elimination of the poisons in the body through perspiration. Patients who perspire a lot should bathe twice a day. Generally, cold to lukewarm water should be used. Bathing with hot water may be pleasant but likely to generate a feeling of fatigue. Whereas bathing with cold water stimulates the body’s circulation system, if a patient is addicted to hot water, they should reduce the temperature of water progressively till they find it acceptable, tolerable and enjoyable.
Relieves constipation
In case of the patient who is constipated despite taking enough water, use water for enema. This helps to get rid of the wastes that have accreted in the large intestines.
Constipation can increase the illness while proper bowel movements quickens the healing process.
Here is another way of reducing constipation: Take a litre-and-a-half or two, of lukewarm water in a container. Suspend it to a height of about 3ft (one metre high). Fix a catheter on the container and lubricate it with soap or oil. The anus should be lubricated. Lie down on the floor with hips slightly higher. Insert three to four inches (10cm) of catheter gently in the rectum. Open water. Water will flow in the large intestines. Remove catheter and visit the lavatory. Water will be expelled taking the wastes with it.
Charging your system
Usually illness makes a person weak. In this case you can charge your system by a hipbath.
This will stimulate the function of the stomach, liver, spleen, intestines, kidney and maintain efficiency.
Method: Fill a tub with lukewarm water to a depth of 8-10 inches (20-25cms).
Drink a glass of warm water and sit in the tub, with the abdomen and part of the thighs submerged in water and the upper trunk and legs outside the tub. Keep massaging the abdomen with some pressure. Continue for 10 minutes. Dry yourself. No food should be taken for half an hour. Feel how good you are.
