Download or read book Specialized Hydro Balneo and Medicinal Bath Therapy written by Carola Koenig and published by . This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge about the use and application of water to promote well-being goes far back in history. Many recommendations had been mostly anecdotal without scientific confirmation until recent technology uncovered the mysteries behind some "miracle cures". Specialized Hydro-, Balneo- and Medicinal Bath Therapy was created to compliment author Carola Koenig's continuing education program by focusing on three main areas: Hydrotherapy-the use of water with dietetic, prophylactic, or therapeutic purpose in all thermal stages from steam to ice application Balneotherapy-the therapeutic application of bath (partial, half, or full) with or without herbal or mineral extracts, gas, peloids, mud, and clay Medicinal bath therapy-the use of synthetic medicinal baths, baths with phytoextracts, and other specialized medicinal baths With a growing number of people eager to learn more about hydrotherapy, Mrs. Koenig has provided useful guidance through her discussion of its history, evolution, and benefits. She explains the structure and physiology of the skin, as well as the physical properties of water, as well as the advantages of geothermal and mineral waters for the prevention and cure of diseases.
Download or read book Applied Lymphology written by Carola Koenig and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at the dry anatomical and physiological facts even a person without medical knowledge will understand the importance of a functional lymphatic system and its impact on general health. Yet this important part of our immune system has been almost completely ignored. If it would not have been for the relentless efforts of our lymphedema support groups over the past 15 years to create awareness about lymphedema, many patients would still believe that the occurrence of arm or breast lymphedema is an unavoidable side effect of cancer therapy one has to accept. Not only cancer patients benefit from Manual Lymph Drainage, everybody can take advantage of the gentle detoxifying properties to maintain health. The age group of patients I personally treated successfully with Manual Lymph Drainage ranges from 7 days to 103 years old.
Download or read book Fasting an Exceptional Human Experience written by Randi Fredricks and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fasting An Exceptional Human Experience Since prehistory, fasting has been used in various ways as a means of transformation. As a spiritual practice, it is the oldest and most common form of asceticism and is found in virtually every religion and spiritual tradition. In psychology, studies have suggested that fasting can alleviate the symptoms of some psychiatric conditions, including depression and schizophrenia. In medicine, fasting is one of the most promising therapies, with research suggesting that fasting can cause certain drugs, such as chemotherapy, to work better while reducing drug side-effects. Hunger striking, sometimes called political fasting, may be the most powerful application of fasting. Proof of this occurred in 1948 when Gandhis hunger strike caused millions of Hindus and Muslims in India to cease their fighting. As a practical guide, Randi Fredricks, Ph.D. provides detailed information on the different types of fasting, where people fast, the physiological process of fasting, and the contraindications and criticisms of fasting. Using existing literature and original research, Dr. Fredricks focuses on the transformative characteristics of fasting in the contexts of psychology, medicine, and spirituality. The relationship between fasting and transpersonal psychology is examined, with a focus on peak experiences, self-realization, and other exceptional human experiences. Dr. Fredricks demonstrates how fasting can be profoundly therapeutic, create global paradigm shifts, and provide personal mystical phenomena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balneotherapy, derived from the Latin words 'balneum' meaning bath and 'therapia' meaning treatment, is a therapeutic method focused on the rehabilitation and recovery of a patient's health post-illness. It also serves as a potent preventative measure against various ailments. This natural, non-pharmacological treatment involves the use of mineral-rich waters for baths, showers, foot or hand baths, as well as therapeutic muds and gases. Remarkably, balneotherapy stands as one of the oldest methods of treatment utilizing natural elements. In recent years, balneotherapy has emerged as a prominent alternative therapy within the realm of healthcare. This acclaim can be attributed to its efficacy in treating a diverse range of health conditions and its endorsement by medical professionals worldwide. Distinct from hydrotherapy, balneotherapy typically takes place in spas where water and mineral salts are employed through methods such as immersion, inhalation, and massages to achieve therapeutic effects. Moreover, therapeutic mud treatments are also integral to balneotherapy.

Download or read book Mineral and Thermal Groundwater Resources written by M. Albu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it not generally believed that our town is a healthy place . . . a place highly com mended on this score both for the sick andfor the healthy? . . And then these Baths - the so-called 'artery' of the town, or the 'nerve centre' . . . Do you know what they are in reality, these great and splendid and glorious Baths that have cost so much money? . . A most serious danger to health! All that filth up in Melledal, where there's such an awful stench - it's all seeping into the pipes that lead to the pump-room! Henrik Ibsen, An Enemy of the People, 1882 Henrik Ibsen gave the 'truth about mineral water' more than 100 years ago in An Enemy of the People. His examples came not from the decadent bathing spas of Bohemia or Victorian Britain, but from the very edge of polite society, subarctic Norway! His masterpiece illustrates the central role that groundwaters and, in particular, mineral waters have played in the history of humanity: their economic importance for towns, their magnetism for pilgrims searching for cures, the political intrigues, the arguments over purported beneficent or maleficent health effects and, finally, their contami nation by anthropogenic activity, in Ibsen's case by wastes from a tannery. This book addresses the occurrence, properties and uses of mineral and thermal groundwaters. The use of these resources for heating, personal hygiene, curative and recreational purposes is deeply integrated in the history of civilization.
