Water Therapy : The Basic Necessity of Life On this Planet

 

Water is the second most important requirement of living being after air. Water therapy that we'll discuss here isn't actually a therapy but an idea for thoughtful and purposeful use of water in our everyday life.

Today we try to retain and maintain health by consuming multi-vitamin and multi-mineral tablets along with a number of products available in the market. We use these products because scientific researches have shown that our basic food isn't able to provide all the nutrition in optimum quantity that are required by our body to stay healthy.

Marketing firms with the help of Medical science and scientific discoveries sell these products and we use them because there is a lot of media hype about them.

In the season of consumerism, modern health and modern discoveries, we have forgotten to use what is already available to us. Actually we are not only unable to use nature's free gift, we are misusing it. This is simply an insult to nature and we are paying the price.

Today most of the health problems that we face whether major or minor are somewhere related to our modern attitude. Whether its pollution or life-style, its all created by us.

Water Therapy that we discuss here is free. You have to pay for it with your dedication & use, to discover yourself whether its suitable to call it a therapy or not.

Water Therapy :Importance of Water in Human Body 

Relationship between Water & Natural Health

I don't think importance of water in our life needs any introduction. Our body can't survive without water even for a week. Surface of our planet earth is 70% water (which supports life on this planet) and approx. 80% of our body consists of water. Some major roles of water in our body are:

1. Water plays vital role in delivering nutrition & oxygen to different parts of our body.

2. Water helps in detoxifying body, it removes wastes and toxins from our body.

3. Water helps in digestion.

4. Water helps in maintaining a healthy temperature in the body.

5. Water also acts as a lubricant for different parts of our body.

6. Water is important for normal functioning of our cells and tissues.

That is why Dr. F. Batmanghelidj said in a website on Water Therapy Water Cure "You're not sick; you're thirsty. Don't treat thirst with medication."

Water Therapy : An Ayurvedic Approach 

Using Water to Improve Health

Water Therapy is an alternative health technique from Ayurveda. Water Therapy that we discuss here won't need any special or expert application of water for health benefits. It is simple use of water to improve health.

Using water for improving health and wellness is looked with doubt today. Its simple approach to health doesn't seems to stand in front of new medicines and approaches to health from latest researches in medical science. In spite of this water therapy and its benefits to health are in fact a fact.

Ayurvedic water therapy isn't a lengthy discussion which can be difficult to understand or cumbersome to implement. There are just few steps which one has to understand and follow as per his convenience and nature of his body and adopt it in his everyday life. Water Therapy will start showing its positive effects with time.

Cold Water Therapy 

Cold water bathing - Hydrotherapy

Ishnaan Therapy (Cold Shower)

http://www.sikhnet.com/dvd "Go for it! When the cold water hits the surface of your skin (which has four layers) all the blood from way deep inside your body rushes to the surface in self-defense, vastly improving your circulation on the spot. This is called Hydrotherapy. It strengthens your entire nervous system. People pay huge sums of money for what is now called "Hydrothermal therapy" when in reality all you need is cold water! But first, before you get wet, massage your body all over with a little oil. Oil is more easily absorbed by the skin when it is mixed with water--and you won't be greasy afterwards. Almond oil is highly recommended since the almond contains so many minerals, and it nourishes the body through the pores of the skin. Go in and out of the water four times, constantly massaging your body until the water no longer feels cold. Be sure not to miss the area under your arms, which is where the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems meet. You can even stand on one foot and massage the top of it with the other foot. Women, be sure to massage your breasts." Above Information From the Book: The Flow of Eternal Power by Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa Your first victory of the day! You will probably become very holy the moment the cold water hits your body, because it is likely you will shout, "Oh my God!" You might try exclaiming "Wahe Guru" ("Wow, God is Great!") or "Ang Sang Wahe Guru" ("God lives in every limb of my being.") Remembering God is always a blessing. Dry off briskly with a rough towel till the body really shines; put on loose, comfortable exercise clothing, and you're ready to do your sadhana, your personal daily spiritual practice. God bless you, you're bound to have a wonderful day! Exceptions for women: Don't take cold showers during your monthly period and No cold showers after the seventh month of pregnancy; take lukewarm, body temperature showers instead. The Flow of Eternal Power by Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa "When we do ice-cold water massage, not only do we open up the capillaries, but when they return to normal, that blood goes back to the organs."

Discover the Power of Water Therapy

Water Therapy & Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, M.D 

Advocate of the natural healing power of water

Dr. F. Batmaghelidj wrote his first self-help book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water" in 1992, in which he stated that a dry mouth is not a reliable indicator of dehydration. The body signals its water shortage by producing pain. Dehydration actually produces pain and many degenerative diseases, including asthma, arthritis, hypertension, angina, adult-onset diabetes, lupus and multiple sclerosis. Dr. B's message to the world is, "You are not sick, you are thirsty. Don't treat thirst with medication."

Dr. F. Batmanghelidj devoted the last 20 years of his life promoting public awareness of the healing powers of water. He appeared on hundreds of radio and television programs and lectured around the world. He has left a body of valuable works of six books and more than a dozen educational audio and video seminars. His work has created an international community that has embraced the natural healing of the water cure. His ground-breaking book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water" has been translated into 15 languages and continues to inspire readers all over the world.

Drinking Water Therapy 

Simple Steps to Benefit from Drinking Water At Home Everyday

Water is important not only to our body and health but its also plays an important role in everyday life. If we can't get enough water either for drinking or for daily use in a day, we can assume what that day will mean to us.

Although we use water everyday and still here in this article on Water Therapy it is said that our body isn't getting enough water for working efficiently and naturally. The reason is we aren't using/drinking water the way we should be drinking.

In Ayurveda Drinking Water Therapy is said to cure and prevent a number of body malfunctioning called disease/health problem. Here are some simple looking but highly effective steps of Drinking Water Therapy. Don't take these steps lightly because they are free and look too simple. Follow these basic steps of drinking water therapy according to your own convenience and body condition.

Note:Please don't force anything too hard on yourself or your body, take time to gradually improve it.

1. Drink approx. 1.25 liter water every day when you get up in morning, before brushing teeth or doing anything else. Drink as much as you can. Initially it may trouble you a bit as frequent urination can take place or some other feelings may come. These are temporary and last only a few days. Don't drink or eat anything for next 45 or 60 minutes.

2. Drink plenty of water approximately 60 minutes before your meals. This will clean your body system and improve digestion and appetite.

3. Don't drink water during meals or immediately after the meals, wait for at least 1/2 hours. If you can't stop yourself from drinking water during or immediately after the meals then reduce quantity to minimum. This will help in digestion and it will also prevent any gastro-intestinal related health problems.

4. Take your meals at least 1 or 2 hours before going to bed. This will also allow your body to digest food efficiently. Our body's digestion system works better when we are awake, then during the sleep. Sleeping immediately after taking meals isn't good for health and wellness.

That's all about Jal-Chikitsa or Drinking Water Therapy, aren't these simple steps, follow them and discover the benefits and improvement in your health.

About HealthBug

Hello,

Welcome to this beautiful world of squidoo lenses. A glimpse of world in words of Squidoo lensmasters.

I'm Healthbug and will like to be known by this name on Squidoo, at least for now. I am a simple guy with common interests as is expected from a human being. I like to do what I want to do but within the limits that are naturally provided to me by nature. I see see two pictures of anything I do (often contradictory) and work for one that I feel is almost right for that particular job. This attitude of my personality is reflected in my behavior too.

Why did I choose this name Healthbug? Well I think health is an important universally meaningful word. It can be used to denote any condition good/bad, mentality, attitude, technology, techniques everything. I choose health with a bug, as nothing can be perfect except perfection. Bug is a routine word used in the world of software programmers. Bug stands for a condition which is less than perfect i.e. when something is wrong to some extent even in an object of perfection its a bug.

I have had my views on a number of objects and events since my childhood. I know because I remember people often told me that I talked like an old man. These views even proved fatal at times for me, as one cannot move normally like others when he holds his own views and works accordingly. Later I found that my thinking and speculation stands for some reason. I even noticed that I was probably right with my thoughts. I love reading, music and traveling a lot. When it comes to reading books, magazines and other literature, my activities can be considered bibliophilic. I always loved to spend on these, these are the expenses that I have never considered expensive.

I think, feel and hold that simple things can solve a number of complex problems which otherwise have no clear solution. Even a minute change in attitude can make a number of problems run. I believe in Keep it Simple.

So, I'm bugged and that is why I'm healthbug.

Thanks & Regards,

Healthbug
