AquaTherapy Update



      I am impressed. The difference in how I feel is unimaginable more than I would have asked for. Here's the only detox issue hanging on; my left lower intestinal area is still a bit inflamed and sore. I had this IBS as it is/was called for years without knowing what is was or what was causing it. So, it is an early symptom coming back to haunt me. And much of it due to diet. Which, I have to admit, with company over the weekend, I did kind of vary from my regulated diet. For whatever reason, the Aqua Therapy intensified this and I am still having some pain there. Otherwise I feel better than I have in weeks or maybe months. And it is so simple if you think about it! Water. Hot and cold water. Used the right way, in the right sequence, it is invaluable.
       I was informed of two other ways to achieve a steam bath. The cool off period is a little more difficult to achieve when doing this on my own. When taking a shower, the water can be turned hot and then noticeably cooler in the same sequence. Not as effective, but I figure a good way to do a daily quickie. The other method is to have a large hooded poncho, and a tub of hot water. Put on the poncho with the hood, and sit in a chair with your feet in the hot water. Make a tent over the hot water. Alternate with a short cool down.
       Simple, right? I'll let you know.
