Balneotherapy (BT) is the act of bathing for therapeutic purposes in waters with enhanced properties such as mineral rich natural springs and may also include peloid (mud) therapy. This practice has a strong traditional practice and empirical knowledge base and has recently gained a great deal of interest from the scientific research community wishing to validate its effects.

BT is a holistic practice that has beneficial effects on certain physical measures as well as notable psychological and emotional effects. There is a rich historical documentation of therapeutic bathing practice. Hydrotherapy is a well-researched area of water immersion therapy, yet it differs from BT due to the absence of mineral rich water content.

Balneotherapy is a traditional therapy involving submersion in mineral rich waters. Through utilising herbs, minerals, vitamins, essential oils and clays we can enhance the absorbent and regenerative qualities of the skin, lymph and blood to improve holistic well being. The act of bathing is a simple pleasure for patients, allowing for self-care, reflection and meditation. Create a natural thermal spring and utilise the benefits of this form of hydrotherapy in your own home.

Balneotherapy was once a fundamental method of treatment in holistic health, but today it is unfortunately overlooked by practitioners as the focus turns to supplements. This easy and effective modality allows practitioners to extend a simple service to all demographics and encourages a new habit to form, with our patients turning to balneotherapy in times of illness or imbalance to bring about holistic healing.
