Balneotherapy method of disease prevention, treatment and recovery using mineral water.

The effectiveness of water treatment depends on many things: the duration of the procedure, and the water temperature, its mechanical effect on tissue, physico-chemical properties of the fluid, the conditions of psychotherapeutic procedures, intervals between sessions, etc.

The procedures are divided into two categories: General applications — the soul, pouring, wiping, baths, wraps; and local hand, foot, sitz baths, partial wiping, pouring, hot water bottles, poultices, etc.
