Introduction

We drink water when our body craves for it. There are several other indications of inadequate water in some or all parts of the body. Ignoring these indications can lead to major diseases that medicines may treat but not cure.

A cool sup of water lowers the body temperature, dilutes the blood to the required consistency, promotes excretion of poisons from the skin in the form of "evaporation", stimulates the normal functions of the kidneys and increases movements of the intestines. Hot water works as a sedative, and relieves pains, cramps and spasms.

Water is a natural curative.
