Balneotherapy: A Beginner's 3-Step Quick Start Guide, With Sample Recipes

Felicity Paulman

Balneotherapy, also known as water therapy, is a form of alternative medicine that involves the use of water for healing and rejuvenation. The word "balneotherapy" comes from the Latin word balneum meaning "bath."


Balneotherapy can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Greece, Rome, and Egypt, where people would often visit natural hot springs for their health-promoting properties.

The benefits of balneotherapy are said to include improved circulation, reduced stress and anxiety, relief from joint and muscle pain, and detoxification. While there is some scientific evidence to support these claims, more research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of balneotherapy.

Praise for this book

In medieval times, a purifying bath was the first step in the knighthood ritual. And this book is a short, but efficient-- and thoroughly modern-- guide to the history, description, overview, and practice of using the bath for therapeutic purposes. It describes how balneotherapy has been used, and for what, including cancer treatment, heart disease, fibromyalgia, stress related ailments, etc. It includes warnings, limitations, and useful recipes and references. There's some minor repetition but it doesn't detract from the value and utility of this brief guide.
