Water is life - Part 1

Water is life

Keeping in mind that the human body contains around 75% of water it is not surprising that this substance is so important. Water is a very special substance and has contradicting properties. It can be solid or liquid at 0℃, which is really strange. The other thing about water is, that it shrinks when it is melting and that it has such a high surface tension that small insects can walk on it. Water exists in 3 stages on earth. It can be solid, liquid and a gas and they can all exist at the same time. Water dissolves a wide range of substances and it has a memory. 

That is used in Homoeopathy where the property of a substance is transferred to the memory of water. The more often it is transferred, i.e. diluted, the more powerful is the resulting medicine. Not only that water plays a vital role in Homoeopathy there are actually homoeopathic medicines made out of water. There are the spring water remedies like the Voeslau Aqua from the mineral spring at Voeslau in Austria or Wiesbaden Aqua from the mineral spring at Wiesbaden in Germany. 

There is also a homoeopathic medicine made out of sea water which is called Aqua Marina. This is used for seasickness or bad effects of residence near the sea like headaches, but it is also used as a blood purifier and a vitaliser where symptoms are compatible. On a physical level it can be used for arthritis of the shoulder and the spine, rhinitis and sinusitis where indicated. Aqua marina is a very interesting remedy because seawater contains in solution every inorganic substance in the world due to the fact that after the ice age and the melting down of the ice all the water ended up in the sea. The water washed all the iodine out of the soil and took a lot of other substances with it as well because it dissolves an unusually wide range of substances. That is the reason why seawater is so high in iodine which makes the homoeopathic remedy a good choice for thyroid problems, where indicated.

I was just recognising that talking about all the water remedies in one go would this make a very long read. So let's just say that this is part one. Contact me if you think that the remedy above might benefit you or if you want to know a bit more about Homoeopathy and, well, water.
