NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE: HYDROTHERAPY

Hydrotherapy is the use of water and its temperature effects in the treatment of disease. The recuperative and healing properties of hydrotherapy include stimulating the immune system, influencing the production of stress hormones, invigorating the circulation and digestion, encouraging blood flow, and lessening pain sensitivity. Additionally, it rejuvenates the body by calming the lungs, heart, stomach, and endocrine system by stimulating nerve reflexes on the spinal cord. Clinical hydrotherapy can feel like a medical spa treatment: very relaxing and soothing as well as detoxifying and rejuvenating.
