Hydrotherapy comes from the Greek (hydro = water, therapiea = treatment). So, hydrotherapy is a scientific treatment that uses water. Barunch Simon (1840-1921) in Effendy (1987) has a theory called the Law Barunch, which suggests that water has a calming force when the water temperature the same as skin temperature, whereas when higher water temperatures or low body temperature will be providing the stimulating effects.

Effendy (1987) suggests that water treatment has 7 (seven) treatment effects on the body, is as follows:

A Muslim who will perform salaah should be cleared of debris (large and small dirt), so he must purify himself with her ablutions, if a little dirt and grime of a bath if (junub). Uts. Najati (1986) argued that the ruling in a 2 (two) types, namely birth and ablution ablutions interior. Furthermore it is said that ablution is not merely cleanse the body from the dirt, but also clean the ruling in the soul of the dirt. Effendy (1987) adds that it has the effect of refresher ablution (refreshing), clean the body and soul, and energy recovery.

Ablution also have physiological effects, which proved that the water body dibasuhnya use of water by 5 (five) times a day will help in relaxing the body organs and relieve physical and psychological tension. Therefore, the Prophet Muhammad advised his followers with his saying: "When you're angry, then perform ablution".

Water therapy is also done on development of drug abuse, alcohol, psychotropic and other addictive substances (drug). This was explained by Sundjaja (1983) that a teenager who comes in drunk, then the need to experience first. Resuscitation performed with shower (bath), is bathing the entire body called junub bath. Drug abuse has been confirmed in the Qur'an, that these actions including acts of Satan, as the word of Allah SWT:

"O ye who believe, in fact (drinking) wine, gambling, (sacrificing to) idols, raffle fate arrows are abominations, including acts of Satan. So shun in order that you get lucky (Surat al-Maidah / 5:90) ".

Bathing is meant for victims of drug treatment rather than as the usual bath time we do, but a bath in the middle of the night (morning time). As Su'dan (1987) that the bath to be victims of drug abuse during the early morning (around 02.00). This will cause the skin blood vessels to constrict. Narrowing of blood vessels to facilitate blood flow to the brain, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys, so that these organs receive more blood than usual.

According to Ewalt that patients who experienced delirium alcohol, experiencing restlessness, agitation, overactive, anxiety and tremors due to acute drug poisoning showed a good response to hydrotherapy. This is supported Prasetyo (1979), non-medical therapy conducted in Thailand, the victim will be given narcotic potions (kind of herbal medicine). At the time of pain a sign of addiction (sakauw), then they are encouraged to frequent cold showers.

Another example raised by Pranasakti (1988) that the 19th century in Germany there is a TB patient, named Peter Sebastian Kneipp, and can be cured because he was bathing in the river at night. Although this has yet to have empirical evidence.

Thus, water is a major source of kehidupan.Keberadaannya should be maintained properly and used in accordance with needs. According to water researchers from Japan, Masaru Emoto reveals that the water must be spoiled, because water can receive information / messages from people.
