Hydrotherapy is the therapeutic treatment that relies on the use of thermal water. Based on the use of physical and chemical requirements of the human body. The form, the method, the duration and frequency of treatment determine the results.
Internal Hydrotherapy
Drinking therapy

The drinking therapy recommended for:
- Biliary tract disease,

- Cholelithiasis etc.
Usually the treatment duration is from 3 to 4 weeks. It has direct beneficial effects.
Inhalation

The inhalations are made with the help of special devices.
Outdoor Hydrotherapy
Spas
Done by immersing the body in the tub or private pool with thermal water. Recommended to be performed after complete digestion. A course of treatment usually lasts 2 weeks, with one bath per day. After the bath, bathers rest for about 30 minutes. The baths exert biological effects through the various features of the hot springs.
Hydromassaging
Involves applying pressure in the human body while it is in the spa water. Indicated in cases of post-traumatic treatment of fractures and injuries, arthritis, back pain, ischemia, spondyloarthritis, and Shasta paralyzed.
Clay therapy
It uses “mature” clay. The application of the clay may be total or partial immersion of the body in it or by spreading on the body.
The therapeutic effect of clay is dual: a) local action (on the skin surface) and b) general (in different modes, thanks to substances that penetrate the body). Clay action is mainly due to three factors: mechanical, thermal and chemical.
