Hydrotherapy – Healing with Water
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is a natural healing technique that uses water at different temperatures, pressures, and forms to promote detoxification, circulation, relaxation, and overall well-being. Water is one of the most effective elements in naturopathy, as it helps the body eliminate toxins, reduce inflammation, and enhance the body’s natural healing ability.
At Sarvoday Nisargaupchar Kendra, we offer a variety of hydrotherapy treatments that use hot, cold, and lukewarm water to stimulate the body’s internal systems and restore balance.
