Hydrotheraphy


Hydrotherapy, formerly called hydropathy involves the use of water for soothing pains and treating diseases. Hydrotherapy, in general, dates back to ancient cultures from China, Japan (onsen), Egypt, Greek and most recently, Roman civilizations.

Egyptian royalty bathed with essential oils and flowers, while Romans had communal public baths for their citizens. It is used to treat musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or spinal cord injuries and in patients suffering burns, spasticity, stroke or paralysis.

It is also used to treat orthopedic and neurological conditions in horses and dogs and also to improve fitness, but mainly, I feel, it can be used to treat disorders of the heart.

A treatment for mending sorrows threw the sweet dispersion of heat as the water dissolves it's warmth into your body and slowly creates a sacred ritual of pure sensuality. Escape.
