Clinical Praxis™ Protocols
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy means "water treatment" and it uses water's ability to sustain a hot or cold stimulus to trigger the body's regulatory responses.
Hydrotherapy applies alternating hot and cold stimuli to increase circulation, boost metabolism and speed healing.
Showering in alternating hot and cold water is a good example of hydrotherapy that is easy to apply in your daily life.
Another good example is a cold shower after taking a sauna...
Hydrotherapy for the Eyes
Hydrotherapy is used on the eye area to help speed the healing of issues like chalazion and styes in the eyelid, which is the thinnest skin in the body.
These conditions are characterized by lumps in the eyelid that can take up to 6 months to clear, and sometimes fail to fully resolve, leaving permanent deposition in the delicate tissue of the lid.
Cold applications stimulate the body to increase circulation and metabolism in order to warm the area as long as the coldness can be overcome by the body's response over a 10 minute period.
Start with a damp washcloth, wrung out and frozen ahead of time in the freezer.
You can use cotton washcloths, or even better, bamboo washcloths, since bamboo fibers reflect the body's infrared emissions back to the body for additional deep healing energy...
Simply leave it in place for 10 minutes, allowing the body to thaw it and warm it up.
Avoid the use of ice cubes or cold packs that maintain the freezing temperature as this decreases circulation.
Hot applications stimulate increased circulation as well for up to 5 minutes at a time.
Use a washcloth dipped in hot water and wrung out.
Do not reheat the cloth during the 5 minute period, but allow the body to cool it down by bringing circulation to the area to be healed.
Alternate between cold and hot applications for two cycles up to twice a day.
Each session looks like this:
10 minutes cold
5 minutes hot
10 minutes cold
5 minutes hot

Water is the most extraordinary substance! Practically all its properties are anomalous, which enabled life to use it as building material for its machinery. Life is water dancing to the tune of solids.
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive but adjust to the object and you shall find a way around or through it... Be water, my friend.
- Bruce Lee
To understand water is to understand the cosmos, the marvels of nature, and life itself.
