| Tap Into The Healing Powers of Water! |  |
Water is something we all have easy access to and tend to
take for granted, but it can be a convenient, inexpensive
way to make ourselves feel better. Try this invigorating
treatment to help banish or ease the symptoms of colds,
pneumonia, and bronchitis. After a hot bath or shower, dip
a terry washcloth or towel into cold water, about 50-60
degrees F. Wrap the cloth around your fist and use it to
rub your other arm vigorously, starting at the fingers and
working up to your shoulder. Switch the cloth to your other
fist and repeat the rubbing on your opposite arm. Then
move on to your feet, legs, abdomen and chest. Dry off
with a towel, using the same vigorous movements. Skin
should be pink, and you should feel totally refreshed! An
extra benefit of this treatment is the exfoliating of the
top layer of dull, dead skin cells, which will make you
look as well as feel better! To improve circulation and
increase the exfoliation benefit, add sea-salt to the cloth
as you rub.
The water from your tap can also be used to
treat insomnia, menopausal hot flashes, and agitation. For
these conditions, try a 'neutral' bath, immersing yourself
in a tub of water slightly below body temperature. Soak
for about 20 minutes, adding water occasionally to maintain
the temperature, if necessary.
