Art of Hydrotherapy
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy uses water to revitalize and restore health. Hydrotherapy treatments include saunas, steam baths, foot baths, sitz baths, and the application of cold and hot water compresses
There is a physiological basis to hydrotherapy. Cold is stimulating, and it causes superficial blood vessels to constrict, shunting the blood to internal organs. Hot water is relaxing, causes blood vessels to dilate, and removes wastes from body tissues; which is why so many of us like warm baths. Alternating hot can cold water also improves elimination, decreases inflammation, and stimulates circulation.
