wuzu has many scientific benifits on human being..but remember we shud do wuzu for the pleasure of allah swt. The scientific benifits are shown that so that you can present islam to non muslim.. because for muslim we have to and we shud follow the commandment of allah without any question
A seminar in western germany
the problem of depression is growing in western country, brain failures are being reported and more mental asylum are being established
Long query of psychiatric may be seen
A pakistani physiotherepist who holds a diploma from western germany states that a seminar om the topic 'what cures other than medicine are possible for depression' in Western germany
A doctor attended this seminar and surprised the audience by saying that he was treating his patients by making them wash their face 5 times a day and within a short period of time the treatment started to have an effect. He then treated another group of patients by making them wash their hands, feet and face 5 times a day and they also started to recover from their illnesses. At the end of the speech the doctor said, 'I confess that fewer Muslims suffer from depression as they wash their hands, face, and feet many times in a day by performing Wudhu.'
A heart specialist says with importance that those who have high blood pressure should be made to perform Wudhu and most definitely, the blood pressure will become normal. A Muslim doctor says, 'The best cure for depression is Wudhu.' Western doctors treat their patients by placing water on some parts of their body, which is just like Wudhu.

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is not allowed to spread unverified messages about our religion for the purpose of inviting people towards Islām, or for motivating Muslims. The main problem  with these type of messages is that it lacks any authoritative references to any of the statements it makes. Statements like: “A heart specialist says”, “A pakistani physiotherepist”, “A doctor attended” are typically in the order of: “Some unknown person said such and such”. Furthermore, science is a continuous process of research that can and will continuously change its academic stance on things. Today they may advocate the most amazing benefits of Wudhu to only discard it tomorrow. Also note that we are not the only people trying to seek out amazing scientific facts about our religion. Hindus also like to make claims about the amazing health benefits of drinking urine for instance
To conclude, it is not be permitted to spread information that is bereft of any backing from any authoritative source. If it is backed up then there is scope to spread such information.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
