What is Hydrotherapy And How Does It Work?

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy treatment in India is very promising and one of the best at our upcoming first naturopathy hospital in

eastern India at JKYNH,Odisha. Hydrotherapy constitutes an important element of naturopathy treatment

encompassing a wide range of therapeutic treatment for various pain relief using the physical properties of water

with varying temperature that stimulates blood circulation and treat the symptom of the disease. This type of water

treatment may involve procedures that include immersing the patient in water or combining the water with oils

and herbs as a part of the treatment process.

How does Hydrotherapy work?

The healing properties of hydrotherapy are based on its thermal effects on body’s reaction to hot and cold stimuli.

The nerves carry impulses felt at the deeper levels of the skin into the body, where they are instrumental in

stimulating the immune system, influencing the production of stress hormones, invigorating the circulation and

digestion, encouraging blood flow, and reducing pain sensitivity. Generally, heat quiets and soothes the body,

slowing down the activity of internal organs while causing the blood vessels to dilate resulting in removal of waste

from the body. Cold, in contrast, stimulates and invigorates, increasing internal activity and shunting the organs.
