Naturopathy and water therapy
Have you ever thought about the therapeutic benefits of water? Most people might think that water is only meant for drinking, bathing and swimming. Of course, drinking water is the most important thing, but you can also use water to relieve headaches, back pain, constipation, and menstrual cramps. The challenge in modern society is that most people expect instant remedies for their problems. People with migraines expect a magic pill to relieve their pain so they can sit at the computer for ten hours without taking a break.

Naturopathy and water therapy
Have you ever thought about the therapeutic benefits of water?Most people might think that water is only meant for drinking, bathing and swimming. Of course, drinking water is the most important thing, but you can also use water to relieve headaches, back pain, constipation, and menstrual cramps. The challenge in modern society is that most people expect instant remedies for their problems. People with migraines expect a magic pill to relieve their pain so they can sit at the computer for ten hours without taking a break. Other people suffer from back pain and want a quick medication to relieve the pain without regularly taking time to exercise, exercise and oxygenate the spine. In naturopathy, water is used for hip and spine baths to soak the head and feet. This may sound too simple to be effective, but water exhibits very therapeutic effects without any dangerous side effects.
I just want to offer a technique to relieve headaches that I learned at Nisargopchar Naturopathy Ashram in Pune, India. Rinse your head firstcold waterfor about 5 minutes while keeping the rest of your body dry. Next, wrap your head with a damp towel. Now bring a bucket with youhotWater to soak feet. Sit with your feet in the hot water for 10 to 15 minutes. Close your eyes and follow your breathing to calm your mind. This technique cools your head while warming your feet and increases blood flow, which relieves headaches. Of course it's easier to just take a pill, but have you really thought about the possible side effects of painkillers? What can you do with your kidneys in the long term? Have you ever researched the side effects of painkillers? Do you think none of these warnings apply to you?
The only time water isn't suitable is the exact time everyone seems to be taking it. This means that water should never be consumed during meals. Drink water at least 30 minutes before or 30 to 60 minutes after a meal. This is recommended in both naturopathy and traditional Chinese medicine, but for some reason the average person never learns this in school.
Drink at most a little water during meals or add soup to your meal. Water during meals dilutes digestive juices and makes it harder for the stomach to do its job. You may have observed people using water to swallow their food. This practice indicates that they do not chew their food adequately and therefore find it necessary to drink a full bottle of water with each meal. I usually ask friends with this habit if they have done itTeeth in stomachthis will chew the food thoroughly for them once it lands in there. In many cases they answer that their grandmothers always gave them the same advice. This is a good example of how grandmothers know much more about health than we learn in school health education programs.
If you believe that soft drinks and coffee provide enough water to keep your body hydrated, you may also believe that window shopping is sufficient exercise! Fresh water and freshly squeezed juices are by far the best fluids to meet your body's needs. If you're craving something stronger, green tea is a healthy, tonic option. As all my friends point out, I'm still an avid coffee lover! To my credit, over the last twenty years I've gone from ten cups a day to one cup a day. I'm pretty happy with this progress, even though I know that Dr. Jacob will shake his head when he sees me sipping my afternoonJava.
