→Effect of cold water and hot water on body fluid balance
In conditions with ''vata/kapha/vata-kapha'' dominance like ''hikka-shwasa'' (''kapha vata tamako''), fever of recent origin (''nutana jwara'' in ''samavastha'') etc. Warm water should be given. After ''ghrita'' consumption, warm water should be used as it increases absorption of ''ghrita''. Warm water increases ''agni'' in ''nutan jwara''.( Ca. Ci. 3/144; Ca.Vi.3/40)

In a study it was concluded that drinking hot fluids transiently increases nasal mucus velocity and so hot liquid is superior to cold liquids in the management of fluids in upper respiratory tract infections.

Water is major constituent and is needed for normal physiological process of the body. Any disturbance in its homeostasis will lead to production of many diseases. Some diseases occur due to water deficit whereas in many diseases water retention in the body is their main cause. According to Ayurvedic principles in such conditions water use should be minimal. Due to same reason it is contraindicated in ''udara''. In ''jalodara'' (ascites) excessive intake of water is one of the causes.( Ca.Ci.13/45)
