Water Treatment
Water is the secret of life, as the Almighty says in His decisive verses, "And We made from water every living thing." [Surah Al-Anbiya: Verse 30]. Water treatment involves using water to solve the health problems faced by humans and to benefit from the physiological properties of water. There are multiple medical approaches to dealing with water, often involving varying temperatures. Experts indicate that each level of water temperature can treat a specific condition. Exposure to cold and hot temperatures activates blood circulation.
