Hydrotherapy is a treatment that uses water to stimulate healing. During a constitutional hydrotherapy visit, a patient receives applications of alternating hot and cold towels to the chest and back. This blood pumping action facilitates healing. By bringing fresh blood in, nutrients and oxygen are carried to the core while urging the elimination of toxins and other cellular waste.
Increasing circulation alone can be very healing but with the addition of sine wave, the impact is multiplied. |
Sine wave helps to stimulate the lymphatic system. This system lies just under the surface of the skin and runs your immune system. This mild electro-current causes lymphatic cells to travel around the body, thus increasing immune function.
Constitutional hydrotherapy is most commonly used to decrease the duration of colds and flus. It can also be very helpful to stimulate digestion and proper peristalsis of the gut. Dr. Della has also had much success using it to help balance the immune system to improve auto immune conditions. It also works to promote detoxification and restore nervous system equilibrium. This therapy is successful because it not only helps to improve the quality of blood but also improves efficiency of circulation. The treatment is approximately 45 minutes in duration and is generally repeated 1-2 times weekly.
