Hydrotherapy is basically treating the body by using water.
It is much more diverse than just jumping into a hot tub. In its broadest sense, drinking water could be considered ‘hydrotherapy’. You have used hydrotherapy when you iced a sprain or put a tea bag on a burn.
Healing with hydrotherapy is economical, accessible, risk-free and effective. The therapy utilizes the temperature of water in effecting both the blood and lymph flow throughout the body. (Remember that keeping the body fluids flowing is crucial to health.) In changing the flow of these fluids, we can effect changes in all tissues through cleansing and nourishment.
