It protects against infections because it moisturizes our mucous membranes and allows viruses and bacteria to escape from the body more quickly. If we already have an infection, we should drink a lot to flush out the infection.
Medicinal water in spas. Image: traveldia - fotolia Medicinal water helps the stomach. Those who do not drink enough often suffer from heartburn and gastritis. Confusion and orientation problems in older people can often be resolved by drinking water alone. Water lowers high blood pressure to prevent strokes and arteriosclerosis.
Water helps against disc discomfort, as these vertebrae contain fluid; Herniated discs can be prevented with a "filling" of this liquid reservoir.
Drinking enough drinking water reduces the risk of developing bladder cancer.
Headaches often occur because nerve cells get too little oxygen. The water transports the required substance.
When can water soothe complaints?
Water helps against acne as well as against arthritis, against loss of appetite as against bruising, against flatulence as against chronic cough, against disturbed blood circulation as against colds, against eczema and sleep disorders, against wrinkles and boils, against fever and inflamed joints, against swollen feet and hair loss , against throat infections as well as lumbago, against palpitations as against skin diseases.
Healing water relieves colic and head eczema, it helps with low back pain and cures against cold. It is a remedy for pneumonia, stomach cramps and menstrual problems, against migraines and sore muscles, against tinnitus and pimples.
Wassser relieves rheumatic pain, it tightens a sagging facial skin, it combats tensions on the shoulder as well as cold, it helps against venous insufficiency and indigestion, against a stuffy nose and against strains.
washings
The best way to prevent illness is to wash yourself. If we wash our hands several times a day with clean water, especially before eating, we protect ourselves from viruses, worms and dermatitis. We prevent gastrointestinal diseases and even worse, such as rabies.
Ablutions are also the mildest form of applying the wet element. That is why they are also suitable for babies, critically ill, bedridden, paralyzed, weak and old.
We can wash ourselves or needy in lying, sitting and standing.
On cold washing, the body reacts to produce heat, so we bring it into motion.
Each washed skin area should be wiped with the wet cloth at least three times to moisten it evenly.
The washed body should be warm. Who is cold or whose skin is cold, should not wash cold.
Washing should not take more than two minutes in total. Then we let the heat of the body dry us, go to bed or move to warm ourselves up.
whole ablution
In a complete wash we wash the whole body except the head, from top to bottom. We strengthen the natural warmth of the body, invigorate and relax the skin. In addition, we stimulate the metabolism to dissipate toxins.
We also support the healing of various diseases with the whole wash, because we strengthen the body as a whole.
When washing the upper body, we wash ourselves to the hips, the ribcage and respiratory organs are better supplied with blood, and the better blood flow strengthens the heart. An upper body wash also helps against cold, flu and bronchitis.O
If we only wash the lower body, we cleanse ourselves from the feet to the hips. This helps against cold feet, strengthens the veins and works against insomnia, as well as against bad watering.
When we clean the body from the hip to the shoulders with circular movements of the lobe, we start under the upper right in the upper left direction. We help to fall asleep, to stop bloating and constipation.
Cold or warm?
Even the same washings work differently, depending on whether we use cold or hot water.
Hot water directly warms skin, body and organs. It is therefore ideal for all ailments that have to do with hypothermia. Warm water relaxes and soothes, so it is suitable for all complaints that express themselves in convulsions.
Even chronic inflammation can be treated well with warm water.
The situation is different with acute inflammations that raise the temperature. Here, warm water is inappropriate.
People who shiver and very thin people should prefer warm water when more robust natures use cold ablutions.
Firstly, cold water dissipates excess heat, but at the same time warms it up in the second step. It increases the blood circulation, and the body warms itself up. They have an invigorating effect, but very nervous people find this disturbing.
Cold healing water is ideal for all problems that are associated with excessive temperature: acute inflammation as well as burns and scalds. They harden the body and strengthen it. They activate the self-healing powers.
People with lots of muscle and / or lots of fat who sweat a lot should use cold rather than warm water.
swim
Swimming in the water improves the fitness of the entire body. First of all we demand all body parts when swimming, secondly our own weight is reduced by the buoyancy.
People with joint ailments should therefore swim instead of jogging or lifting weights. Also obese or people with a heavy physique are relieved by the buoyancy.
Swimming invigorates and trains the whole body. Image: Robert Kneschke - fotolia Cold water hardens, strengthens the immune system and accelerates fat burning. The water pressure strengthens weak veins and has a favorable effect on swollen feet and varicose veins. Above all, this pressure on the veins strengthens the activity of the heart.
When swimming we consume a lot of calories, so it is appropriate to lose weight; However, the energy consumption and the change of temperature makes you hungry at the same time.
In slow breast swimming we use 400 calories per hour, in the fast breast swimming 1000. Especially beginners should watch out for their hip and knee joints with fast breaststroke. The cervical and spinal column can also be damaged by hectic movements.
Aqua jogging
If you have problems with these joints, you can opt for aqua jogging. In the process, those affected, or more precisely, they make running movements while they float upright in the water. The buoyancy comes from buoyancy aids made of lightweight foam. The water pressure relieves the heart.
Water aerobics is suitable for very fat people. You can perform exercises in the water that would be too heavy for you on land. The movements are even heavier in the water than on land, which is why they consume more energy and consequently lose more weight.
winter Swimming
Winter swimming is swimming in waters between 0 degrees Celsius and 15 degrees Celsius. The cold strengthens the immune system, and the circulation gets going. But "just so" to jump into the cold water, overwhelmed the organism. Therefore, it is better to start swimming in cold water in the fall and to get used to the falling temperatures.
Winter swimmers either hack the ice to swim in the water below, or they use streams.
In contrast to swimming in the summer, you should only stay in the water for a short time in the winter, just a few seconds. In addition, face and hair should not submerge. If you swim in winter, you should not be alone - if the circuit causes problems due to the unusual cold.
If you get into the air, you should immediately dry thoroughly and put on warm, so that the body is not overcooled.
Now the body provides us with plenty of heat, we speak of an overreaction, which is extremely healthy for the body's defenses.
treading water
Water treading is one of the easiest exercises to get our body going. We do not have to be able to swim or exercise, and all we need is an area of cold water that reaches to the calves.
In brooks or on the lakeshore, in basins of fountains, even in the bathtub we can kick around in the water. However, we have to be able to hold on, so as not to slip.
We take off and shoes and socks, then we roll the pants over the knee, get into the water and "walk". We lift our feet out of the water with every step, so that we expose our feet to different stimuli. We walk for half to two minutes, then we dry our feet in the air and put our socks and shoes back on.
Nature lovers also love to go barefoot in the morning dew on the grass or in fresh snow, also up to two minutes. When we step on the snow we should wear warm clothes like winter swimming.
Fonts
Water flows are particularly fast. We take water hoses or a watering can.
Water showers. Picture: Kzenon - fotolia There are armpits, knee joints, thigh casts, underpourings, backfills, chest casts, top casts, head casts, face casts, ear casts, full casts, flash casts, warm neck casts, showering.
The "right" fonts in the respective complaints are a science in itself. But castings generally have in common:
1) Cold cast only on warm limbs
2) Only administer casts in warm rooms
3) After meals, wait at least half an hour to pour
4) The water should not put pressure on the skin
5) The casting should be smooth
6) It should always begin at the outer body parts and from there to the middle of the body
7) Likewise, he should start right and then lead to the left, for example, arms and legs
8) The muscles should be relaxed and the breath even.
The different fonts are a science in themselves. We differentiate between cast arm, knee cast, thigh cast, downcasting, back casting, chest casting, top casting, head casting, facial casting, ear casting, full casting, flash casting and warm neck casting. As an example, the face casting should serve.
The face casting
Facials serve beauty, they have a refreshing effect and promote blood circulation.
But they also relieve lighter symptoms, they make tired people happy, help against headaches, strengthen the concentration, and mitigate hot flashes. Cosmetically they help against facial wrinkles and blemished facial skin.
Avoid facial tumescence when the nerves in your face are inflamed or you have problems with your eyes.
A facial casting runs like this:
1) You put a towel around your neck, bend over the bath or shower.
2) You turn the shower attachment from the shower hose or fill water into a watering can.
3) Pour the water over the right temple first.
4) Then slowly circle the face to the right temple.
5) Then let the water flow over your forehead - several times in a row.
6) Then pour the water lengthwise over the face.
7) At the end, circle the whole face again with the beam.
8) You dry the face carefully.
take a shower
Showers to heal and cure for illness are either cold or alternating showers and the simplest form of using water for health. Who suffers from varicose veins, should do without showering.
Changing showers are recommended for sensitive people, because they harden and strengthen the circulation, but do not frighten like cold water.
Changing showers help especially sensitive people to endure cold weather; they strengthen the immune system and increase low blood pressure.
Contrast showers. Image: Photographee.eu - fotolia Changing showers start warm, then shower for a few minutes, then change to cold for a few seconds. After that, take a shower for a few minutes, then cool again. You can also repeat the change several times. In the end, shower off cold.
You should shower your whole body cold even with warm baths. The open pores close in such a way, and they prevent cold skin, are less susceptible to infections and shiver less.
to bathe
Bathing cleanses the body, but baths in cold or warm water are also good for your health. We differentiated between partial and full baths, warm, hot and alternating baths.
Cold baths should take only 6 to 20 seconds, warm bathing, however, we can easily 20 minutes. Before cold baths, we should definitely warm up, for example, by gymnastics. But we can also just sit in a warm room or a fire.
As when showering, we end hot baths best with a short cold bath, so close the pores again.
We distinguish:
1) The full bath. We sit up to our necks in the water
2) The half bath. We sit in the water up to our stomach-
3) The sitz bath. The abdomen is in the water, but the feet in the dry.
4) The foot bath. Here we only bathe the feet.
5) The bracelet. We only dip our arms in the water.
The full bath
With the full bath we put ourselves completely into the bath and hold only the head out of the water. A cold bath is the most intense way to apply water. It serves to harden and strengthen us.
If we have problems with the circulation or a generally weak constitution, we should do without cold full baths and instead resort to half- as sitz baths.
In a cold bath, we lie down in cold water for up to 20 seconds. Then we dress up quickly and move until we are dry and warmed up. We do not recommend drying with a towel, as it causes uneven drying, which causes irritation to the skin.
Warm full baths, however, can also carry weak people. For cold-related illnesses such as rheumatism, a warm bath is also the right choice.
The strengthening does not serve a warm full bath, on the contrary it weakens. It relaxes the body and relieves cramps.
An advantage of the cold bath is that we can add healing additives such as essences, earths, herbs, essential oils and bath salts, because these can be absorbed by the longer duration in the skin.
This way, complaints can be specifically treated: spruce needle baths, for example, improve breathing and promote blood circulation, oat straw baths help against gout.
How do we bathe??
A warm full bath at about 30 degrees can take 25-30 minutes, and a hot full bath at 36-40 degrees for about 10-20 minutes.
Thereafter, we should briefly take a cold shower to alleviate the weakening of the body, and strengthen the well-doing strengthening.
It is best to lie down under the warm duvet and rest there for one hour. Now the bath can fully develop its effect.
The footbath
For a foot bath, a bucket or a small tub is enough. We dip our legs over the calves into the water.
A cold footbath removes heat from the head and other organs and so relieves headaches or hot flashes. It helps against insomnia and serves for relaxation.
Healing foot bath. Image: musicphone1 - fotolia We stand for up to a minute in cold water. Then we brush off the moisture, put on warm socks without drying our feet with a towel, and move our feet until dry and warm.
Warm foot baths warm the feet when they are overcooled, they relax and help against nervousness.
Bath additives in the foot bath are used to treat foot disorders, for example, oak bark helps athlete's foot and rosemary against low blood pressure. Temperature and length of the warm foot bath are the same as with the full bath.
Alternating foot baths with warm and cold water strengthen the blood vessels and the circulation. It helps well against chronic cold feet and against circulatory weakness. In warm water we stay up to ten minutes, in cold water only ten seconds and do this at least twice - in the end with cold water.
Inhale
Water vapor helps especially with respiratory problems. We can use an inhaler that atomises water or a steam bath.
Image: closeupimages - fotolia At the steam bath, we bend over a bowl of hot water that gives off steam. We put a towel over our head so that we do not escape the steam and take a deep breath. But we can also sit down over the bowl and make a steam bath or keep our ears in the steam. Or we hold our feet in the steam, the arms, or the abdomen.
In the full steam bath, for example in a sauna or oriental Haman, we sit with the whole body in a chamber with hot water vapor.
The steam baths work as follows:
At the head they release mucus, clear the respiratory tract, cleanse the skin and help against cough, runny nose, stuffy nose, sinusitis and acne.
In the ears, they relieve inflammation of the ear canals.
On the arms, they help against inflamed slivers, inflamed wounds and insect bites.
On the feet, they relieve foot sweats, swollen and sprained feet and blisters.
In the abdomen they reduce bladder inflammation and cramps, as well as spasms in the period, they help against white-flow and kidney stones.
A full steam bath ultimately heals inflammation of the skin, cleanses skin wounds, helps against lichen, skin fungus and gout.
bloating
Water helps in various applications against flatulence.
1) A warm bath with oat straw eases the abdomen
2) A bath with hay flowers also relaxes
3) A cold pad on the abdomen strengthens the body heat
4) A cold pad on the whole body helps, because heat forms as a reaction
5) Wash the torso in a circle and relax
6) A warm bath with mint frees the airways and relaxes.
7) Warm belly wraps relax all organs in the abdomen
8) A warm pad on the abdomen will also relax.
9) The same applies to a warm circulation on the whole body.
10) A warm sitz bath relaxes the digestive organs
sleep disorders
For insomnia helps:
1) A bath with valerian
2) A cold leg wrap pulls excess heat out of the body
3) A cold short wrap from the armpits to the thighs
4) A lavender bath calms down
5) Relaxing and revitalizing your body
6) A warm melissa bath calms down.
7) Cold calf rolls remove excess heat
burns
Cold water is the first aid for burns and scalds. First of all, those affected have to leave the danger area. Then the clothing is extinguished: except with water, fires can be smothered with a blanket.
Small burns should be immediately cooled with cold or lukewarm water to relieve the pain. However, the water should not be too cold, and under no circumstances should we take ice cream. This damages the wounded skin additionally. (Dr. Utz Anhalt)
