Our body is capable of healing itself, if we give it the right inputs. The use of water for pain relief, healing, and treatment of diseases is called Hydrotherapy. In this method water’s temperature and pressure are used to stimulate blood circulation and equalization of body heat to promote healing.
Given the fact that 70% of our body is made up of water, water plays a pivotal role in cleansing and healing. Hydrotherapy encompasses a broad range of approaches and therapeutic methods and Wet Packs is one of those.
What is a Wet Pack?
It is a water-soaked cloth that is wrapped around different body parts for healing.
Why is Wet Pack Used?
As per nature cure, the reason behind all diseases is the accumulation of toxins in our body. Wet packs help in eliminating those toxins from targeted body parts, hence help in relieving diseases and pains.
How do Wet Packs Work?
The application of a wet pack cools the specific body part. It creates a difference in temperature from the other body parts. This temperature difference promotes blood circulation to the affected area. Along with the movement of blood, the accumulated toxins, waste materials, and clots, etc get moving too, and find their way out of the body through urine or stool.
What are the Benefits of Wet Packs?
Wet packs have different impacts on different body parts
Stomach: When applied to the stomach, it helps to relieve indigestion, cure IBS, GERD, Acidity, Ulcers, Bloating, Constipation, Stomach Pain & Colitis. It also helps tone up the stomach muscles by removing the excess fat!
Neck: It helps balance the thyroid, heal tonsilitis & laryngitis.
Forehead: Helps relieve headaches, migraines & some mental disorders.
Primary Diseases: Wet packs help cure fever, cold, cough, and diarrhea, etc.
Overall Body: Wet packs are highly effective in detoxing the body.
How To Apply Wet Packs?
General Applications:
Take 1 big & broad cotton cloth strip and 2 small, narrower cotton cloth strips
Dip the cloth strips in cool water (room temperature, not too cold)
Wrap the big cotton cloth around your stomach in a way that half of it covers the area above your navel & the other half covers the area below your navel and tuck it
Wrap 1 small strip around your forehead and tie it
Wrap the other small strip around your neck
Keep the wet packs for 30 to 40 minutes
Special Applications:
Stimulating abdominal wet packs: if the weather is cold or the patient is weak, you can wrap a warm cloth (scarf, etc.) above the cold wet cloth
Local cooling pack: In order to relieve the pain of sores, burns, wounds, stings, boils, ulcers, fractures, sprains, etc. a cold wet pack to the particular body part should be applied. For better results, put a wet strip on the stomach as well (as explained above)
Alternate Hot & Cold Packs: If there is severe pain in any body part, the application of hot and cold packs alternately helps relieve the pain quickly and remove toxins.
Take a bowl of cold water and another bowl with hot water
Dip & squeeze a strip of cotton cloth in hot water first and apply it on the affected body part for 1 minute
Remove the strip and replace it with the strip dipped in & squeezed with cold water.
Keep the cold strip for a minute and remove
Repeat this process for 15 minutes
Now keep the cold pack only on the affected region for 20-30 minutes. It expedites blood circulation and toxin removal
Do’s & Don’t of Applying Wet Packs
Do not eat or drink anything while the wet pack is being applied. Apply them after or before meals
The water of wet packs should not be very cold
You can move around & wear regular clothes while applying wet packs
To increase the effectiveness of wet packs, an enema can be given after 1 hour of wet pack application, to remove the circulating toxins from the body
Apply all three strips for best results
Apply them once (morning) or twice a day for 21 days & then once or twice every week
If the patient is suffering from acute pain, fever, cold, diarrhea, or other similar conditions, wet packs can be applied 3-4 times a day for quick relief
Wet packs are safe to apply on kids, pregnant women, and during periods
Do not apply wet packs while doing pranayama because lungs can not expand to their full capacity while a wet pack is being applied

Dear Sheetal - Yes. Wet pack will help in stimulating blood circulation in your belly area & thus movement of accumulated wastes. This can help in toning up the belly area. Do combine the therapy with changes in diet & lifestyle to experience the change.
