Book Chapter Description

Mineral/medicinal waters have been used for cures for the past 5000 years. Their use has been very popular from the time of the Roman Civilization. Popular balneotherapeutic procedures are used for both external and internal cures. The pharmacodynamic concentrations of the waters, their indications, and contra-indications are described in this chapter. German, Italian, Japanese, as well as Polish examples are cited. Several bath types using medicinal waters are discussed. Inhalation, irrigation, as well as cryotherapeutic use of water is also underscored.
