Constitutional Hydrotherapy
Constitutional hydrotherapy is a treatment that combines hot and cold towel applications to the chest, abdomen and back with low-voltage sine wave stimulation to the back and abdomen. The treatment enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to vital organs, and it supports elimination of metabolic wastes and environmental toxins. Constitutional hydrotherapy is a powerful, safe, and non-invasive way to support the body’s natural healing process.
A one-hour treatment can up regulate the body’s immune system by stimulating cells in the abdominal lymphatic tissue, heal digestive issues by enhancing peristalsis and enhancing the function of the stomach, gallbladder, and pancreas, improve circulation including lymphatic circulation, and calm anxiety and calm the entire autonomic nervous system. It may sound simple, but the alternating hot and cold towels drives a therapeutic effect to almost every system in the body. The added sine wave stimulation directs the blood flow to specific organs.
Sine Wave
The sine wave unit stimulates muscles and spinal nerves. This device is used to improve circulation, improve digestive function, improve immune system function, reduce swelling, improve muscle function, and reduce pain. We place the sine wave pads on the back and abdomen and stimulate the spinal nerves that control the digestive processes. This activates the digestive organs and strengthens digestion, improves digestive enzyme output, and calibrates the digestive tract muscular rhythm, aka peristalsis. Patients feel a mild tingling on the back and may feel a gentle tug in the abdomen as the organs are activated. Sine wave is different from a TENS unit.
Constitutional hydrotherapy treatments can improve many health issues including...
BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Beneficial for immune imbalances including acute infections, cancer, chronic viral illness, Lyme disease, autoimmune disease, environmental hypersensitivity. Research shows 10,000 more circulating white blood cells after one treatment.
INCREASE CIRCULATION
Vitalizes the cardiovascular system through stimulation of the microcirculation. Beneficial for cardiovascular disease, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and hypertension.
HEAL DIGESTIVE ISSUES
Beneficial for IBS / SIBO, reflux, abdominal cramps, constipation, diarrhea, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease. Constitutional hydrotherapy activates the migrating motor complex and supports the organs of digestion.
CALM ANXIETY
Balances the nervous system through thermal activation and through biologically compatible sine wave. This helps calms anxiety and stabilize mood.
SUPPORT DETOXIFICATION
Encourages detox through stimulating the liver, gallbladder and kidneys. It also supports the eliminative processes by activating the lymphatic system.
Treatments typically last about an hour. Treatments are often scheduled one per week for four to six consecutive weeks to receive the greatest benefit, depending on the needs of the patient.
