Water Therapy
Water is a basic necessity and is worshipped by us. One cannot live without water for more than one day. One can stay without water for a maximum of 14–15 hours. A human body consists of 72% water even in nature there is 70% of the water is present and other parts constitute land. Water has many uses it is used for drinking and most important cleaning everything on our body, utensils, clothes, etc. Once lord Shiva said his carrier Nandi ji to announce to the world that bathes twice and eats once. Nandi ji said it’s the reverse of eating twice and bathing once and people started following that habit. Even in villages, women worship water by showering flowers near the water source and seeking blessings of the same. This indicates that water is very much important in our lives. People in the temples worship sculptures by making them bathe with ‘Panchamrut’ which is made up of milk, curd, honey, sugar, and ghee. Even after this important and religious bath, it is mandatory to purify the sculptures of God with water.

Even if you’re not drinking start drinking now. Just lukewarm 2 glasses of water add lemon and add honey in it.

Add Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) in the hot water to control the swelling and provide relief to the part. Hot foot bath is beneficial and it can also be taken in buckets in the house.
