The term hydrotherapy is derived from the Greek words Hydro-Water and Therapeia – Healing Hydro or aquatic therapy is a method of using the physical aspect of water for medical and relaxing treatments. Water has proved its medical significance for a very long time. The up-thrust or buoyancy is used for reducing the pressure effect of gravity on the skeletal structure. The human body reacts to the increased hydro-static pressure by dilating the arterial blood vessels. The resistance or drag of the water is a property, which is used for muscle strengthening. The force/speed relationship obeys the rules of isokinetic training of muscle power. The buoyancy of water minimizes the efforts of gravity on the weight bearing Joints, spinal column and ligaments. The entire therapy improves balance and coordination. Water is an excellent medium for applying temperature energy [warmth] and changes of temperature to the human body both local overall.
Enema
An enema is an internal bath which helps cleanse the colon of poisons, gas and accumulated faecal matter. During colon cleansing, toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination.
With enemas you can prevent the accumulation of constipated waste in the colon. Your blood will begin to clean-up right away. When this happens the toxins that are concentrated in your tissues will diffuse back into the blood where they will be eliminated by your liver and kidneys. Your liver and kidneys are no longer overwhelmed by toxins and as long as you control constipation and try to avoid pollution from other sources, your liver and kidneys can do a remarkable job.
Many serious diseases may be averted through this gentle, scientific technique. Enemas are a key factor in the restoration of the body’s natural balance and overall quest for vibrant health. Enemas are specially helpful when you are on a colon cleanse (like Oxy-powder or AIM Herbal Fibreblend) or fast to quickly help the body remove accumulated toxins in the bowel. It can be helpful in any type of “unwellness” like headache, fever etc.
