constitutional hydrotherapy

 Constitutional hydrotherapy is a 45 min long therapy that uses alternating hot and cold
applications to the torso and back with two phases of gentle pulsed sine wave stimulation/(e-stim)
to the back and abdomen.

During the therapy, the patient lies comfortably on a soft massage table warmly bundled up in
bed sheets and wool blankets, while alternating phases of hot and cold, well wrung out, moist
towels are applied over the upper torso. Hot and cold towel applications manipulate blood
circulation via vasoconstriction and vasodilation reflexes.

Constitutional hydrotherapy is extremely relaxing and rejuvenating. It restores balance to the
autonomic nervous system by nourishing and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. It
also facilitates optimal immune function and detoxification processes via increased circulation
through the skin, lymph nodes, liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, intestines and lungs (aka.
Reticuloendothelial System or Mononuclear Phagocyte System). This allows our illness-fighting
white blood cells to recognize invaders and are guided to the tissues where they are needed.
