Water has been used as a valuable therapeutic agent since time immemorial.
In all major ancient civilizations, bathing was considered an important measure for the maintenance of health and prevention of disease. It was also valued for its remedial properties. The ancient Vedic literature in contains numerous references to the efficacy of water in the treatment of disease.
Water exerts beneficial effects on the human system. It equalises circulation, boosts muscular tone and aids digestion and nutrition. It also tones up the activity of sweat glands and in the process eliminates the damaged cells and toxic matter from the system. The common water temperature chart is: cold 10°C to 18°C, neutral 32°C to 36°C, and hot 40°C to 45°C. Above 45°C, water loses its therapeutic value and is destructive.
