I wish it would rain

Longing For Rain

It was and still is a very dry summer and the garden is suffering. Rivers and reservoirs have run dry. Funnily enough it looked quite lush and wet in the woods when we had a walk yesterday. This shows that woodland holds a lot of water, even when it is dry anywhere else. It was raining a little bit today, at last, but it is still not enough. We need the rain to fill the rivers and reservoirs to get our drinking water out of the tap. Aren't we lucky to have the option to turn a tap on and get clean drinking water out of it? 

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.
