Dehydration is a common issue with a lot of people especially for those who wait to be thirsty before drinking. Others who are engaged in sports activities drink specially formulated thirst quenchers with high amounts of electrolytes to replenish what their bodies lose through sweating.
If water is consumed to replenish and refresh, there is an alternative way of consuming water to cleanse other than just thirst quenching. It is called “water therapy” and is slowly getting popular in the field of alternative medicine.
Sources say that the water therapy procedure originated in China and India. The idea is that you consume approximately 1.5 liters of water in the shortest possible time before you start your day. If your body is not used to it, doing it in increasing amounts for a few days will get you used to it.
Water therapy is the simplest all-in treatment for a long list of ailments and disorders ranging from dry skin to arthritis and recently, some say even for cancer. Not only that it’s easy to follow without any professional help, it’s also practically free.
Water therapy utilizes the solvent properties of water and it somehow forces the toxins out by simply displacing them and carries them out as waste when we urinate or sweat. This concept is what makes it non-specific because it has no target toxin to flush out. Anything that’s not good for the body has a higher chance of being expelled.
One thing to note is that the amount of water consumed may not be an issue; but sometimes in the effort to consume 1.5 liters of water over the shortest possible time, one might put himself at risk of water intoxication. It is the over consumption of water that pushes the limits of the body’s electrolytes to unsafe levels disrupting brain functions which may lead to death.
When done in a moderate way, water therapy has a lot of claims of advantages and long term health benefits. Even if a person might try it out of curiosity and without forcing oneself anything he or she couldn’t consume, this would still guarantee that the minimum of eight glasses a day are met.
The health benefits of this therapy are not specific and should be considered as a good alternative but should not be taken to extremes. Still, the healthy lifestyle is a delicate balance of discipline and self-control. Any new or old alternatives must not be employed immediately without careful research and professional consultation. There would always be an exception to the general rule.
Water in all its use would always be safe to consume from the right sources or if treated for drinking. In its pure form, it even has the ability to cleanse our whole body. The water therapy treatment is just one of its magical uses.
