The therapeutics benefits of water are infinite and it's healing qualities are frequently written about; from hydrotherapy to homeopathy, from floatation tanks, spas and ‘taking the waters’ to the Aquatic Ape Theory and our experience in the womb, from drinking eight glasses a day and mineral content to the memory of water and Masaru Emoto’s incredible crystals. There are books and articles about the power of water, the significance of being near it, bathing in it or consuming it. Information is available about the positive effects of buoyancy and semi-weightlessness on the body as well as the cleansing and life-giving properties of water, it's fluid nature and spiral rhythms.
