Water is the essential
component of all life It comprises of 72% of
the human body, 90%
of blood
Healthy water carries
nutrients, minerals, dissolved salts and trace elements the building blocks of growth, and healing
energies; it disposes of waste and is constantly cooling, cleansing and
purifying itself. Our bodies depend on water (as blood) as a catalyst, a
transport system, to maintain our correct body temperature, to supply nutrients
and electrical impulses. Dehydration is a common source of illness we need to
drink 1 - 2 litres of good water every day, more especially as we grow older.
Tea, coffee and alcohol all dehydrate the body; therefore, if we take them we
need to drink more good water to compensate.
By the time you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated!
That’s right, most of us reach for a glass of water once our body registers
that we are thirsty, but in reality, that is our body’s last measure or resort
to make sure we hydrate and keep our bodies working efficiently. Chronic dehydration
can cause sickness and premature aging and when we are dehydrated, the body
begins to pull water from it’s organs and tissues, which is a desperate measure
and should be avoided. So before you start feeling like the corners of your
mouth are dry as all get, reach for some liquid H2o
How does drinking water benefit Bowen Therapy?
Since Bowen
Therapy promotes changes in tissue hydration it is imperative that clients
drink sufficient water in order to meet changing body demands. Avoiding
dehydration through improved foods and lifestyle is also important.
Through a
series of cross fibre moves, your therapist is releasing ‘gluing’ in the
fascia. This allows the tissue to become pliable through hydration. As the
fascia improves in hydration your body is more able to supply nutrients to the
cells and remove waste. Less restriction on muscles, tendons and ligaments and
the vascular, lymphatic and nervous systems will function more effectively.
Bowen restores
balance to the internal environment which assists the body to normal function
and activity.
