Water - helping it get deep into your tissues
Now a days everyone seems to be carrying a water bottle because the news is out, hydration is important. However even if you drink lots of water you cannot be guaranteed that it is getting deep into your tissues and into the cells to hydrate and also remove toxins so they can be excreted via the kidney. Also hydration is essential for good bowel function and almost all functioning.
According to Ayurved the tissue formation starts with the plasma that needs water and then cascades to red blood cells, muscles, fat, bone, bone marrow and reproductive tissues. Also the finest tissue is called Ojas which can be called "liquid light". So if we do not have water it effects all tissue formation.
One simple and effective way to hydrate the body efficiently and deeply is to drink a special herbal tea that was developed by my teacher Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra. He has called it "Smart Water" because of its ability to enter the tissues efficiently and effectively. Here is the recipe:
Boil 2 liters of good quality spring water ( I get mine from the aquafer in Gibson's). Then add 1/2 to 1 teaspoonful of Coriander seed, fennel seed, marshmallow root, and mint. The quantities do not have to be exact. Let this steep like a tea for 10-15 minutes, then strain and keep in a thermos and drink through out the day. You will find this very satisfying
Another way is to purchase some special glyceride drops that Vaidya Mishra has developed. Please contact me for instructions on how to order: Cumin, Fennel, Black Pepper, and Mint - these are in glyceride form and you can just add 2 drops of each to a liter of water and it is a great hydrator.
I have found over the years that headaches, acid reflux and even colon disorders in their early stages can be turned around with just good hydration. Many years ago when I was working for Zeller's pharmacy a young woman approached my saying she was concerned about the side effects of the prescription for here severe colon disorder. She was having 12 bowel movements a day and after many diagnostic procedures the doctors could not come up with a definitive diagnosis. I suggested the "Smart Water" tea. She drank it for 2 weeks at which time all here symptoms were gone. Great success with such a simple inexpensive procedure that is pleasant and soothing to drink!!
