The Hindu-Yogi System of Practical Water Cure2154
many tiny pores, there is set up an interchange of the fluids within and the
fluids without, according to the principles of Endosmose and Exosmose, as
above stated. The impure fluids flow out to the sheet, and the pure water
flows in, until an equilibrium is established between the without and the
within. The warmth generated by the pack, also tends to loosen and open
the pores and thus encourage the ordinary throwing off by the perspiration.
A double result is thus gained, (1) the blood is supplied with pure fluid in
place of foul, while the foul excrementitious fluids and matter are deposited
on the sheet and soaked up by it, thus getting it out of the system with no
possibility of return. In view of the above explanation, you will see readily
why the Wet Sheet Pack becomes such a valuable therapeutic method, and
why it is superior to ordinary baths or sweats—it accomplished the results
of both at the same time, and in a more thorough manner.
Practitioners have noticed, that in the cases of people who take the
Wet Sheet Pack treatment, regularly, say once a month, the skin gradually
becomes soft, velvety, and beautiful; its texture becomes more firm and
sound, and the pores seem to function more vigorous and normally. The
wearing of the clothing which civilization demands, tends to cause the skin
to lose its vigor and functioning power. In such cases, treatments such as the
above, and intelligent bathing methods, tend to restore normal and natural
conditions and functioning powers. We think that you will find that this form
of treatment will confer many minor benefits, in addition to the major ones
herein mentioned. Try it, and see for yourself.
The healthy person may apply this treatment to himself, unaided, after
a little practice upon himself. Try it with dry sheets first, and then take the
regular treatment, after you have learned to adjust the coverings. There is
no great secret to it—just a little knack, that’s all.
