Hot springs, water, mud, algae, air, and touch and breath—
By utilizing the elements of nature, we awaken the body's inherent healing power.
The definitive manual on hydrotherapy and complementary therapies is now attracting renewed attention.

This book is based on a holistic medical philosophy that views the body, mind, emotions, spirit, and social aspects as a single whole, and introduces an integrated approach that works on the whole person without relying solely on medication.
Based on scientific evidence and clinical data, the book provides concrete explanations of its applications in various fields, from chronic diseases such as psoriasis, arthritis, pressure ulcers, varicose veins, diabetes, hypertension, and acne, to its use in the beauty and spa sectors.

It can be used even if you live in a city, and also within a home environment.
As a method that has few side effects, is natural, and is sustainable,
This manual should be highly insightful for everyone involved: doctors, therapists, caregivers, patients themselves, and their families.

Towards a future where the term "well-being" is not merely a buzzword, but a deeply rooted sense of what it means to live.
This book will guide you on the first step towards healing yourself, rather than simply being treated.

Fangotherapy and
The practice of hydrotherapy

This video discusses the basics and practices of fangotherapy (mud therapy) and hydrotherapy (water therapy).

First, let's look at the differences between water and fango, and explain their respective thermal properties and effects on the body. Water quickly transfers heat, resulting in a rapid warming effect, while fango retains heat and penetrates the body slowly. This property is utilized for various purposes, including beauty treatments, rheumatism relief, sports conditioning, and relaxation.

We will also discuss the differences between hydrotherapy and fangotherapy, explaining the mechanisms of transdermal absorption for each and describing the most suitable treatment methods.

Furthermore, the book explains how to combine fangotherapy with massage, thermotherapy, and cryotherapy to make it more effective.
