Hydrotherapy
Though an ancient practice as old as humans, modern hydrotherapy, as utilized by naturopathic and conventional doctors, is rooted in the works of 19th century figures such as Vincenz Priessnitz and Father Kneipp. Because of its broad medical and health applications, low cost, ease of use, and cultural import, hydrotherapy continues to hold a vital place in the medical and social systems of many Western European countries. From the hydrotherapy retreats of Germany, to the saunas of Finland, to the mineral-rich waters of Bath in England, water is used as a restorative to health and vitality.
Hydrotherapy is an amazing system of utilizing the application of water to strengthen your body's ability to heal itself. When water of different temperatures is applied in particular ways to the body, it encourages movement of the blood and may impact the body's immune system and ability to heal.
