The Japanese Water Therapy Steps
What are the correct steps to follow the Japanese water therapy? If you have kidney problem or severe health issues, ask your doctor before starting the Japanese Water Therapy. Here are the steps you need to follow to carry out this therapy.
- After you wake up drink 4 x 160ml (22 ounces) glasses of water (not cold) before you do anything else, including brushing your teeth.
- After you finish your water, you can brush your teeth (oil pulling), but don’t eat or drink for 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
- After every meal or snack, don’t eat or drink anything for 2 hours.
- If you are sick, elderly, or not used to this, you can start this process gradually that eventually equals 22 ounces per day.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce the main diseases:
- High Blood Pressure (30 days)
- Gastric (10 days)
- Diabetes (30 days)
- Constipation (10 days)
- Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from the second week onwards daily.
This treatment method has no side effects, however at the beginning of the treatment you may have to (obviously) urinate more.
What is wrong with cold water?
Cold water can be nice after a meal, but it will solidify the oily stuff that you have just eaten. It will actually slow down the digestion.
Once this “sludge” reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
Warning
Don’t ever overdo this water therapy. Drinking excess water in a short time duration (3+ liters), can lead to what is known as “Fatal water poisoning”. What can be considered as excessive water depends on factors like age, person’s fitness level, climatic conditions etc.
