Hydrotherapy
The science of Naturopathy is incomplete if the biggest wonder of nature, water, is not a part of the prescribed treatments. The therapeutic benefits of water have been widely utilized in some of the most common home remedies. Remember when a cold washcloth on your feverish forehead brought the temperature down? Or when an ice pack relieved pain due to bruising? Think back and you may identify a number of such simple yet highly effective treatments using water. But we barely think of it as actual medicine.
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is the branch of naturopathy that deals with treatment using hot and cold water. The alternating application of hot and cold water on the body improves blood flow, thereby relieving the pain, facilitating metabolism, and enhancing overall health and well-being. Apart from common illnesses, hydrotherapy has also been proven to be effective in treating chronic diseases like influenza, fatigue, bronchitis, arthritis, etc.
Hydrotherapy- Principles and Procedure
Hydrotherapy makes use of the body’s reflex reaction upon reception of sudden and extreme changes in temperature. This is achieved with the help of using hot compress or hot towels and layers of blankets to warm the body, and then replacing the hot towels with an equally cold towel. Alternatively, saunas and steam baths are also used. The sudden change in temperature is countered by increased blood flow to all parts of the body which activates the function of various body systems and provides relief.
