Drinking Water Therapy:
————————-
Water therapy sounds ridiculous, but is one of the most effective therapies. Besides being free from side-effects, this therapy has shown positive results in many incurable diseases. It is very simple and can be practiced by individuals irrespective of age, sex or place. It helps clean the stomach and enables intestines to form new fresh blood known as “Hematopoiesis” that fights against the disease causing organisms. For this therapy pure boiled water must be used. Early in the morning 6 glasses of normal water should be taken in one stretch, before attending any morning chores. Neither eatables nor any beverages like tea, coffee should be taken one year after this. This therapy is helpful in headache, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, arthritis, rheumatism, sinusitis, bronchitis, acidity, gastritis, dysentery, constipation, irregular menstruation, skin problems and other problems related to the stomach.

Enema
——–
Enema means injection of fluid into the rectum. It cleans the intestine and helps in eliminating morbid matter from the stomach. It cleans and tones up the digestive system. Regular enema, once a week, tones up the digestive system and increases resistive power.

There are two types of enema generally used:

•  Tube enema

•  Wall enema apparatus
