What is the Water Therapy?

Most of the ailments begin with an unhealthy gut. The  Water Therapy helps in cleaning your stomach and boosting your digestive system. Japanese traditional medicine recommends drinking water right after waking up early morning. These early morning hours are considered to be 'golden hours', and it is believed that drinking water during this period not only promotes weight loss by smoothening your digestive system, but can also help in treating various health problems.
