The goal of the treatment is to normalize the quantity of blood circulating through a given area or tissue during a given period of time, as well as to improve the overall quality of blood in the general circulation. The benefits of this water treatment are accomplished by enhancing blood flow through the organs of elimination (skin, liver, lungs, kidneys and colon), and subsequently deriving improved blood quality through the increased elimination of metabolic waste.
