mineral water therapy Explanation: Ordinary well or spring water, however contains far fewer substances, mostly dissolved sulphates and carbonates, and calcium and other alkali and alkaline earth metals. Many mineral waters also contain trace elements that are thought to have therapeutic value. Spa therapy, widely practiced in Europe, ***advocates bathing in and drinking mineral waters as a cure for a variety of diseases***. Many authorities believe that the success of such therapy really results from the beneficial effects of rest and relaxation. Source: http://www.industryplayer.com/licenceinfo.php?licid=020214 The forms of treatment include baths, mud therapy, mineral drink therapy, inhalations, hydrotherapy, and kinetic therapy. Medical care is highly competent and specialized. Medical staff of most spas collaborate closely with the faculty members of medical academies, e.g., by jointly running consultation and research centers in the spas. This guarantees quality medical services. Source: http://www.european-quartet.com/spas-1 Not to be confused with hydrotherapy which is something totally different.
