HEALING TREATMENTS

Aerosol is one of the oldest therapeutic treatments for human care, perfected over the centuries through continuous medical research and scientific innovations that can refine the initial practice. The principle that governs the operation of the aerosol found its effectiveness on the shattering of the water particles in micro-units aimed at the total inhalation of the healthy principles contained in the thermal water to reactivate the correct functionality of the respiratory system.
The thermal aerosol is characterized by the homonymous practice carried out in clinical environments to the fact that inhalation occurs at a temperature corresponding to the one of the thermal water, without the need of heating made through the use of artificial temperatures.

Halotherapy consists of a special bath treatment characterized by the creation of artificial microclimates, hot, cold, dry or wet, aimed at restoring the psychophysical balance by diaphoretic response (sweating) produced on the patient by the climatic structure of the room used to practice.
Stimulating specific organic reactions through the established climatic differences, it is possible to achieve a complete cure for many diseases, skilfully exploiting the action produced by the heat and by the cold to counteract the climatic body static condition, at the base of many disorders.

Hay baths are an ancient therapeutic practice dating back to the agricultural tradition of Trentino Alto Adige, whose invention derives from the ancient custom of local farmers to sleep on hay cut for the cows and to benefit from the properties inside of this unusual bed.
Thanks to a secular improvement implemented with the help of scientific research, the hay baths have become over the years the importance of a genuine therapeutic treatment, ideal for reinvigorating the body and to treat musculoskeletal system and epidermis diseases and disorders.
The modern healing practice takes place through the use of three simple preparation steps: at the beginning we proceed with cutting the hay, leaving it to rest for an amount of time deemed suitable to its fermentation; later we proceed heating the hay at a temperature between 40 and 70 degrees centigrade and ultimately we immerse the patient inside the preparation, by the time come to a specific temperature, increasing the therapeutic efficacy of the hay by the addition of particular herbs and spices with a soothing and relaxing valence.

Balneotherapy consists of a well-known therapeutic practice that uses the healing properties of a particular mineral water to enhance the functionality of the respiratory, circulatory and cutaneous system by partial or total immersion in special tanks.
Exploiting the beneficial properties contained by a carbonic, bicarbonate-alkaline, sulphate or sulphur water, it is possible to produce relief of the symptoms related to the most common diseases simply by immersing the body in structures that provide the presence of still or agitated water, specifically brought to the temperature of about 36-38 degrees centigrade.
After the bath, whose total duration must never exceed 20 minutes of treatment, the patient is put to rest on a bed, wrapped in blankets, to intensify the sense of well-being and relax produced by the immersion.

This term refers to a set of therapeutic techniques based on movement (kinesis) and finalized to restore the harmony between the spine and peripheral articulations, whose proper development is functional to the physical well-being.
Divided into passive and active, kinesitherapy is a very ancient discipline that has come to a continuous improvement by implement of medical knowledge about the osseous and articulation structure of our body, until it becomes a real clinical practice which finds its fulcrum in those excellent baths facilities in which the discipline is practiced.
By virtue of a wide spectrum of possible therapeutic applications, kinesitherapy is particularly effective to relieve symptoms and correct postural defects produced by widespread pathologies such as scoliosis, stiff neck, sciatica, neck pains, knee ailments and to restore the proper organic balance in the absence of which neurological problems such as headaches and dizziness are generated.

Climatotherapy is a medical discipline that aims to restore the organ function squeezed by an excessively sedentary lifestyle, by subjecting the body to sudden changes in climate that can awaken dormant responses of our immune system and to push the human body to benefit from the climate change.
For each specific type of climate occurs in nature (be it mountain, sea, lake or plain) correspond specific therapeutic needs and specific climate treatments, according to a scheme designed to make the most beneficial contribution by the single characteristics of each region, through the use of short stays whose estimated average duration fluctuates between 7 and 20 days according to the needs of the patient.
While the marine climate is particularly suitable for the treatment of extra pulmonary tuberculosis, chronic joints or respiratory inflammation, arthritis and rheumatism, the mountain climate is rather functional for taking care of neurological and psychological disorders; the lake is specifically suited for problems related to the heart or to restlessness, and the plain, finally, can produce similar benefits to the lake climate, but with greater temperature range.

Mineral water treatments consist of a therapeutic approach based on the intake of constant and regular beverages based on thermal mineral water, whose action is to eradicate numerous functional disorders of the liver, kidneys, intestines and stomach, according to the specific requirements.
Mineral water treatments are one of the Italian excellences in baths field, whose hub is represented by the world-famous towns of Fiuggi and Chianciano and whose spread increases steadily in step with the consent and approval of the international scientific community.
The water used in this particular type of treatment is primarily mineral and bicarbonate, whose consumption is widely tolerated by the human body by virtue of the small presence of mineral salts and dry residue.

Gaseous treatments base their therapeutic approach on inhalation of particular contents in the gaseous form produced by the thermal water, whose soothing action improves the functionality of the respiratory system through the action exerted by the particles inhaled.
According to the use of water vapour or air pressure, the gaseous treatments are divided into wet and dry and their effectiveness varies depending on the type of effect one wants to obtain on the respiratory system and according to the therapeutic needs that have made the treatments essential.

Electrotherapy exploits the use of electric current for therapeutic purpose and differs in the modality of use depending on whether the current used is continuous or variable: in the first case, the electric induction is used to promote the diffusion of drugs in the anatomical area concerned ; in the second case, to reach the treatment of disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
Electrotherapy is configured, therefore, as a macro-category that houses on its inside medical practices of different nature and that involves the use of special lasers, ultrasounds or magnets depending on the therapeutic effect desired by the patient and on the specific needs of treatment.

Heliotherapy exploits the beneficial effects produced by the sun’s rays on the human body to produce a focused therapeutic effect, using natural components, widely tolerated by the human body.
Starting from the action exerted by the sun and the thermal and bright emanations produced by its rays, it is indeed possible to reach a complete therapeutic methodology capable of exploiting both the thermal component produced by infrared rays, as the action exerted on the metabolism by ultraviolet frequencies.
Particularly suitable for treating skin disorders, the use of heliotherapy showed undoubted benefits even for neurological disorders (such as anxiety or major depression), in virtue of the ability of sunlight to stimulate the production of hormones, neurotransmitters and vitamin elements functional to the psychophysical balance of the entire body.

Mud therapy (CT) is the application on the human body of particular compresses using thermal mud, whose action on the epidermis is functional to the care of congenital or traumatic skin disorders, under the soothing properties present in the substances used.
Used in combination with baths, sweat and massages, the mud therapy exploits in a therapeutic way the chemical action produced by three separate components (clay, liquid and organic), carefully blended and dosed to bring maximum benefits to the skin and to produce a sense of relax functional to the balance of the nervous system.

Physiokinesitherapy is a particular rehabilitative discipline which exploits the focused movement of some muscles to reach the solution of muscular-skeletal disorders and to allow the patient to correct postural disorders which may result in numerous physical and articulation ailments.
It used to remedy the impairment of bodily functionality originated by pathological conditions of orthopedic, neurological or trauma kind, physiokinesitherapy can be practiced by a physiotherapist or can require the use of special machines and it appears to be particularly suitable for functional recovery following surgery.

Phytotherapy consists of an ancient natural medical practice which takes advantage of the soothing properties of some specific plants (or extracts) in order to treat a very wide spectrum of diseases, concerning many different bodily organs and the most diverse symptoms, given the vastness of medical herbs that can be used in therapeutic treatments.

Humages, also known as emanations, are special thermal treatments that exploit the healthy gaseous effluvia produced naturally by some mineral water (mainly sulphurous or radioactive) to cure many diseases of the respiratory tract.
The inhalation of the gas generated from the thermal water through special extraction techniques allows for the passage of numerous active ingredients within the bronchial tube and lungs and as well as for the optimization of the soothing properties of the same water through the use of special tools that can convey the gaseous contents and with individual or collective focused sessions.

Hydrocolontotherapy consists in the deep washing of the final section of the intestine, performed through the use of a special water that can remove impurities present in the colon and relieve many symptoms associated with the irritable bowel syndrome or with a general condition of swelling and retention.
Realized using filtered water, the hydrocolontherapy is particularly suitable even for the treatment of problems connected with liver functions, for the problems deriving from colitis and to improve the digestive functionality even in patients without a previous pathological clinical history.

Hydro-massage is a bath enhanced by the action of water jets at different pressures, which produces a general sense of wellness and relaxation.
Particularly indicated for the treatment of cellulite and peripheral vascular disorders, hydro-massage is based on the use of simple thermal water or through the addition of oils and mineral salts, depending on the expected beneficial effects and the medical needs.

Insufflations are thermal treatments which exploit the action of particular thermal gases in order to treat early stages of insufficient tubal middle ear disorders that can often lead to chronic ear infections able to cause hearing loss in the patient.
The introduction of thermal gases occurs nasally and bases its success on the ability to restore the basic endotympanum hydrostatic pressure, whose alteration causes hearing disorders and can also result in a series of respiratory disorders.

Internal douches constitute a therapeutic treatment whose aim is to put the thermal water in contact with the open mucous of the body , placed in correspondence of the main orifices, in order to ensure a higher level of absorption.
Indicated to treat inflammations of the female genital, respiratory, intestinal and oral disorders, the internal douches can be performed through the use of simple water or by the addition of specific natural medicaments.

Lymphatic drainage consists of a particular type of gentle massage carried along the lymphatic channels of the body, through the use of finger pressure and movements able to reactivate the compromised lymphatic functions.
Particularly suitable for the treatment of varicose veins, cellulite or peripheral vascular disorders, the lymphatic drainage aims to empty fluids and toxins in excess that, because of a physiological deficit, often stagnate in the body, leading to problems linked to impaired circulation and insufficient drainage.

Mesotherapy is a type of treatment that involves local injections of small quantities of medicines, both traditional and homeopathic, in correspondence of the bodily meridians fixed by the diagrams generated from the practice of acupuncture.
Mesotherapy is used as an alternative technique to traditional medication for the solution of medical problems related to cellulite, lymphedema, stretch marks, acne, localized adiposity, venous insufficiency or articulation pain.

The Mézières -Suchard method is a therapeutic technique that owes its name to the improvements made by Jacob Suchard to the embryonic method invented by Mézières in the field of postural gymnastics.
Particularly ideal for solving problems related to bad postural habits and damage to the spine, the exercises that follow the principles of the Mézières -Suchard method are suitable for those who are forced to stay hunched over a desk for several hours every day or those who carry out professional jobs particularly stressful for the musculoskeletal system.

Music therapy is an alternative therapeutic method that exploits the action exerted by the music on the human psyche to alleviate the discomfort produced by numerous neurological disorders or by the presence of disability.
Music therapy, a rather recent discipline, has already shown the ability to alleviate disorders associated with many neurological and neurodegenerative pathologies (Alzheimer’s disease in particular) and to promote the proper development of the cognitive and emotional sphere associated with the ability of linguistic expression and providing therefore a valuable support in the event of mental or physical damages which might impair the most common intellectual abilities.

Nebulizations are a particular therapeutic treatment based on the fragmentation of thermal mineral water allowing for a wide inhalation intended for the treatment of the most common respiratory disorders.
The treatment involves different nebulization density, depending on the therapeutic requirements linked to specific diseases, and the desired depth, while remaining mainly used for the treatment of the respiratory tract.

Vascular treatments consist of a series of therapeutic methods, dedicated to the care and resolution of problems and pathologies of the lower limbs, through which it can reach the reactivation of the peripheral circulation and implement the patient’s motor skills.
Based on a series of paths to be performed barefoot on two different thermal baths, about 80 centimetres deep, the vascular pathways have stronger benefits with respect to the common motor practice thanks to the presence of sulphur and sodium bromide water, whose temperature difference combined with the stimulating effects produced by the water in contact with the skin, allows for the reactivation of the lymphatic vessels and obstructed veins, thus improving the entire functionality of the cardio-vascular system.
To get the maximum benefit from vascular treatments, this therapy should be performed at least once a year for 12 consecutive days, to ensure a lasting and persistent therapeutic contribution.

Plantar reflexology is a particular discipline that bases its action on the assumption that the nerve centres present in our feet (called reflex points) have a functional correspondence with the different organs that assemble the whole of the human body.
Taking advantage of this parallelism, the therapeutic technique aim to exercise a particular pressure on the feet sole. Finalized to stimulate the functionality of the organ that is meant to cure, it represents an effective solution to problems of various kinds, which are located in the most different areas of the body, resulting particularly suitable for the resolution of neurological disorders (such as anxiety and depression) and all the psycho-somatic affections

Shiatsu is an ancient therapeutic technique, born in Japan, which aims at the restoration of the psychophysical balance of every living organism starting from a holistic view of the being that contemplates the union of body and mind as an essential solution to any disorders.
Practiced through the pressure of a finger on the patient’s body (Shiatsu means precisely “pressure of the finger “), shiatsu stimulates of the nerve centres and internal organs finalized to activate in the patient a self-healing process particularly suitable for the treatment of physical problems related to the persistence of headaches, orthopedic and musculoskeletal disorders.

The word thalassotherapy stems from the Greek ‘thalassa’ (the sea) and focuses on the peculiarities contained in the natural sea elements to treat various health problems in a natural and non-invasive way.
Practiced through the use of douches, mud baths, baths, sand baths, inhalations and hydrotherapy, thalassotherapy allows for the treatment of articulation pains, stiffness, cellulite and blemishes, through the immersion of the patient in sea water brought to a temperature of 38° C, or through compresses obtained from silt of sedimentary origin or seaweed, whose action on the epidermis soothes injuries and disorders of the whole body.

Wine therapy consists of a set of treatments based on the use of the ingredients derived from the vine (leaves, grapes or wine), whose properties counteract the aging and capillaries breaking relying on high levels of calcium, phosphorus and organic derivatives present in wine products.
Among the numerous benefits of wine therapy, there are numerous treatments different from each other according to the type of application and therapeutic efficacy, among which the most used in the baths industry are massages carried out by the application of fresh grapes or grape extracts, hydro-massages with thermal water and concentrated must and the food practice of ampelotherapy , consisting of diet based on wine products.
