Water therapy is the use of water to improve health.
One form of water therapy is the consuming of a gutful of water upon waking in order to cleanse the bowel and encourage the production of new blood cells in the intestine. A litre to a litre and half is the common amount ingested. This water therapy, also known as Indian or Chinese Water Therapy, is claimed to have a wide range of health benefits; or at least no adverse effects. Application of this water therapy at first will cause multiple bowel movements until the body adjusts to the increased amount of fluid. Like every other form of health management, this therapy should be balanced with other health literature.
