This type of therapy, which recommends following a specific volume and time of water intake, is believed by many to be effective in treating some chronic, and even fatal, diseases. This traditional water therapy roots from the ancient Ayurvedic medicine and is called “Usha Paana Chikitsa,” which means “dawn water treatment” in Sanskrit.

The Dawn Water Treatment Protocol

To apply dawn water treatment to your daily regimen, you need to follow some rules:

1.As soon as you get up from bed, without even brushing your teeth drink one and a half liters of water, which is approximately equivalent to five to six glasses of water.
2.Avoid any food or liquid intake for an hour aftewards.
3.Make sure you don’t drink any kind of beverages that contain alcohol the previous night.

You may have a hard time drinking that enormous amount of water all at once. Nonetheless, your body will gradually get used to it after a couple of repetitions. You may slightly modify the procedure to make it a lot easier for you, by drinking only as much as you can at first and then slowly increasing your intake. It’s recommended to take water in considerable amounts until it adds up to the complete six glasses.
