These DVDs demonstrate simple but effective Hydrotherapy techniques in a way that will help you easily learn to put them into use in your own home.What is Hydrotherapy?Hydrotherapy, formerly called hydropathy, involves the use of water for pain-relief and treating illness. The term hydrotherapy itself is synonymous with the term “water cure” as it was originally marketed by practitioners and promoters in the 19th century. A hydrotherapist therefore, is someone who practices hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy is the use of water to revitalize, maintain, and restore health.Training Course: Hydrotherapy in Action-Complete Water Therapy Instructional VideosInstructor: HeavenScent Wholistic HealthHow Does Hydrotherapy Work?There is a physiological basis to hydrotherapy. Cold is stimulating, and it causes superficial blood vessels to constrict, shunting the blood to internal organs. Hot water is relaxing, causes blood vessels to dilate, and removes wastes from body tissues. Alternating hot and cold water also improves elimination, decreases inflammation, and stimulates circulation.Hydrotherapy acts through the nervous system. Like medications, it acts on the brain centers and their extensions, and then through the reflex areas. Function is stimulated or reduced by means of temperatures used and the length of their application. Friction accompanying the application of hydrotherapy also adds to and prolongs its effectiveness.Water, applied externally or internally and at varying temperatures, is an agent which more fully than almost any other cooperates with the healing powers of the body in resisting the onset and development of pathogenic processes. There is no other remedy by which the movements of the blood and the blood supply, both general and local, and in fact every form of vital activity, may be so readily controlled as by hydriatic application.About HeavenScent Wholistic HealthHeavenScent Wholistic is a “wholistic” health ministry that was created to help those who are battling with life threatening disease and illness, as well as, those who are interested in improving their health and preventing disease.As a husband and wife team, we practice naturopathic and integrative therapies, and have a passion to help clients attain their health and wellness goals, as well as teaching practical healthy and sustainable living classes.Whether you need to lose weight, to reduce stress, stop smoking, reverse chronic disease or need help starting an organic garden, we are interested in YOUR well being!We are Holistic Lifestyle and Health Educators, incorporating certifications and training learned in the the healing arts such as Nutritional Therapy, Ecotherapy, Herbal Medicine, Simple Natural and Therapeutic Treatment modalities, Massage and Hydrotherapy, and Lifestyle Modification Techniques.We have been working in the health and wellness field for more than 10 years, helping those they come in contact with, to prevent and reverse disease and health issues.Publisher: HeavenScent Wholistic Health
