This is the ideal book to discover the spa and hydrotherapy simple and detailed way. There are diagrams explaining postures and different techniques.
This book is very comprehensive, the author begins by explaining us the structure and functioning of the skin and the glands that are associated with it. Then he gave us a brief history of water applications related to health, and describes the three temperaments which we can belong in our organic field. Treatments are therefore not quite the same as temperaments.
A big part of the book is then devoted to various techniques used in balneotherapy and hydrotherapy: hot bath, cold bath, bath seat, arm bath, foot bath, facial, bath for fever, sunbathing, sand bath, mud bath, sauna and steam room, light bath, all the wraps, compresses, poultices, enemas (sinuses, intestinal, vaginal), gargles, showers, affusion, friction, etc. ..
A chapter is also devoted to water as a beverage (bioelectronics, mineral water and tap water).
And finally, a "hydrotherapy lexicon" fifty pages brings us solutions in case of problems or illness (flu, sore throat, conjunctivitis, depression, pregnancy, wart, otitis, lumbago, hypertension ...), all classified alphabetically, and each time with advice using the benefits of water, but also dietary advice, or other essential oils.
A complete and detailed book but also remains to everyone!
