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.
