Water Therapy

Drinking water is the first essential to maintaining health, but there are many more ways to use water therapeutically. Bathing is one of the nicest and, at least in North America, one of the most forgotten.

I often ask my clients if they bathe, and the usual reply is, "I have a shower every morning." Showering is not bathing. Showering is washing, and although they are a part of health maintenance, showers can be more healthy if you end with a blast of cold water or just use jet streams and the like.

However, a shower is still not a bath. Bathing involves submersing every part of the body, from neck to feet, simultaneously.
