Therapeutic & Medicinal Uses of Water

 

WATER IS THE ESSENCE OF HUMAN LIFE

Life is not possible without water. In ancient times water was not polluted so some diseases were automatically cured by pure water. During that time the sage used to drink the flowing water of his ashram. Also, the same water was used for agriculture and domestic work. There was a thick crowd of trees everywhere. So the balance of nature was right. But in recent times this picture has changed a lot.

Pollution Reduces the Importance of Water

Due to pollution, it is time to tell the importance of water. Earlier water was treated unknowingly. Population was also low and there was no growing urbanization. People lived everywhere. Therefore, there was no emphasis on a single region. That is, the standard of living was also balanced. Nowadays more and more people are attracted to the city itself. And villages wither. Due to this, the problem of clean water in the city is becoming a serious issue. Amongst the many popular medical practices, recently people are turning to naturopathy. There is a growing trend towards naturopathy as a cost-effective and effective treatment method. It is necessary to understand this naturopathy and then treat the diseases.

That is why one of the most important ingredients in naturopathy is water. Jalniti i.e. hydrotherapy is a very useful method of treatment. It is based on Pancha Tattva. The five elements are water, air, light, earth, and sky. Our body is made up of these five elements. That is, the structure of our body is from pindi to bramhandi. That is why our body is constantly affected by these five elements. Nature created our body not to spoil it but we cause our body suffering by doing things against nature. And then our body becomes a victim of some disease. That's why according to naturopathic experts, if we treat our bodies using the five elements, the treatment will be better.

WATER IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Water is an essential element in daily life. Ayurvedic texts have elaborated on the importance of water. In the Vedas it is said about water, “Water is the medicine of all living beings in the world. Sanjeevani is.' Human life depends on water and water is the life of man, that is why water is called life. All the world is 3 parts water and 1 part land. Our body is also 2/3 water.

The human body needs water for every metabolic activity. The body absorbs the required amount of water that we drink. The rest of the water passes out of the body through urine and sweat along with dirt from the body.

In such a case, one has to keep the balance of the body right by drinking water again and if it is not maintained, the person has to face some kind of disease. Both over-watering and under-watering are bad.

In today's world, everyone needs access to plenty of clean water. Pure and sterile water is healthy. Recently, the water is getting polluted due to a lack of clean water.

What precautions should be taken while drinking water while traveling? Sometimes we have doubts about the cleanliness of the water.

What to do in such a case, if we have to drink any water during the journey, we should squeeze half a lemon in it and drink that water so that the water keeps the body clean. Barrier to pathogens Due to the acid content in lemon, there is no barrier to pathogens.

Types of Water and Treatment:

The food we eat, vegetables, milk, curd, and fruits also contain almost sixty percent water and the body needs it. There are 4 types of water. 1) Cold water 2) Very cold water 3) Warm water 4) Hot water All these four types of water therapy are mentioned in naturopathy.

Cold water means the water we use every day i.e. the water we use for drinking from a well, tap, or river.

Super cold water is a fridge or ice water. This water generally feels good in summer, but at other times, ice water should not be used in excess. Due to this, blood clots, body functions slow down, and digestion power decreases. But despite this, we constantly use ice cubes in cold drinks, cold water, and syrups from the fridge. The speed of our digestion gradually slows down. And unconsciously we face diseases. Very cold water causes muscle or stomach cells to contract.

It gradually affects the natural activity. So avoid using very cold water. Naturopathic experts say not to drink very cold water at all. The use of ice cream and cold drinks kept in the fridge for months is harmful to the body.

Warm water means not too cold and not too hot. Bathe with such water only. So it has a good effect on muscles and body cells. Fatigue disappears and body parts are relaxed.

Home Remedies for Insomnia:

Insomnia will disappear if the body is wrapped with a blanket and cold water is placed on the head after leaving the steps in warm water with salt on insomnia. And the body relaxes and sleeps well. Also, hot water is useful for bathing and shaking the organs for body aches. But still, cold water is more beneficial for the body than hot water.

According to naturopathic experts, hot water should not be used excessively. The water used for body use should be as warm as the body temperature. Cold water makes up for the loss caused by hot water. Even if you bathe with hot water, put cold water on your head and body at the end. Hot water weakens the power while cold water bath increases the power. Glands in the body are proliferated, so bathing in cold water increases enthusiasm and energy. Warm water does not damage. But as far as possible, hydrotherapy says to bathe in cold water.

AN EFFECTIVE SCIENCE OF WATER THERAPY:

Natural remedies are simple and straightforward. It does not harm. In this treatment, the disease is cured by using Katisan, a full tub bath, mud bandage, air, sun bath, and fasting, eating fruits. Water generally performs three functions in our body.

1) Digestion of the food eaten 2) Blood circulation in the body 3) Making the body healthy by removing foreign material.

Dirt from our body comes out through sweat urine and defecation. Every day 1 to 1.5 liters of water is excreted out of the body. Body balance should be maintained by drinking at least that much water. This is the main principle of water science. Drink water when you feel thirsty, don't suppress thirst, don't kill it, and don’t put off drinking it later. If very thirsty, drink 1 glass of water every 2 hours as needed. Drinking water does not cause constipation and improves digestion. Cold water is touched or used and steam is also used in treatment by turning water into steam cold and hot water is used in liquid form but animals, birds, and plants also need water. You know this. Then all life is void without water.

DISEASE THERAPY AND WATER TREATMENT:

The main cause of human disease is the accumulation of heterogeneous contaminants in our bodies. Gradually, the things that we consume from our food and drinks are not digested properly and acid is formed. And acid results in increased acidity. So everyone should wake up in the morning and drink water from a copper pot. Brush at night and sleep. It means that the water that is drunk in the morning clears the obstruction. Acidity also affects the blood. Eating too late at night and having heavy meals of spicy, fried, desserts helps to increase acidity. That is why the disease attacks the body. If you drink water from a copper pot every morning, the dirt in your body can be removed. If this is done, there will be no real need for doctors and medicines. This can be done by water treatment. Water is used in two ways.

Internal and external cleansing of the body is done by hydrotherapy. Water therapy removes the root cause of the disease. Pure air, pure sattvic food, and pure water are essential to keep our body healthy. Contaminated air, contaminated food, and contaminated water are the root cause of disease. Due to this, foreign substances enter our body and hydrotherapy is the main solution to get rid of them. Even the air flowing over the water is cool and pleasant. So going for a morning walk along the riverside will be a healthy thing. Consuming pure air is healthy. In large sanatoriums, reservoirs, river banks, lakes and flowing springs, mountain hills, pure atmosphere, and pure water are used for health. The rainwater that falls from the sky is called divine water, Amritdhara. If you are drenched in these Amrit Dhara.

Of course, if this Amrit Dhara is Shirodhara, your brain and nervous system will definitely benefit. It is because of that falling water that all the creatures on earth become happy. Agriculture, and drinking water all depend on the above water. Electricity is generated by water. If there is less water, the production of electricity decreases. Restrictions on the use of electricity, canals to run factories, and water to wells, all this is due to rainwater, which means that water is the real life of man.

If we want this life, if we want dense vegetation, the amount of rain increases. Nature is in balance. Diseases that are considered incurable in any other medicine can be cured by water therapy. The water is steamed and with that steam, the sick who have reached a degenerate state of body motion and lifeless exhaustion can be cured by the steam bath experiment. It has been proved that diseases like paralysis can be cured by hydrotherapy. Thus water is used both internally and externally.

IMPORTANCE OF BATHING IN JAL SHASTRA:

If there is a pond or a large reservoir, put in it a disinfectant such as alum, lime, or potassium permanganate, the flowing water of a river is considered clean, but dirty water or dirty things should not be allowed to enter it. Here are some measures to purify drinking water.
