It's raining again

Here Comes The Rain Again

It was quite nice when we started to have a bit of rain after the hot spell earlier last week. The garden loved and needed it and the little chap in my photograph enjoyed the dampness on my roses as well. For once I didn't remove it, just photographed it.

The rain was particularly nice for me because it meant that I didn't need to haul water out of a 200 litre rain barrel to water the garden anymore as I have done every other evening last week. Rainwater is so good for the garden and a free resource. 

Thinking about that, not many people on this planet have easy access to clean drinking water. This thought makes me marvel even more about this precious resource. I recently read in the paper that any adult in the 1st world uses about 140 litre of drinking water every day. Most of that is actually not drunk but used for hygienic purpose like showering, washing laundry, flushing the toilet and even watering the lawn. I feel ashamed of that, keeping in mind that some people in the 3rd world do not have clean water even for drinking and cooking. 

Could we save more water and use less for trivial purposes? How about flushing the toilet less often? Do you know the saying: If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down? We actually doing this at home and it works fine. 

We need to be aware that water is important and that we need drinking water if we want to stay alive. Our whole existence depends on clean water for growing crops to feed us, for our animals and for us to drink.

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. It is 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.

So water is life and health giving in more than one way and Homoeopathy makes use of that. Give me a call on 07813 195468 if you want to benefit from the special properties of water.
