Hydrotherapy Benefits Heart Failure
Tuesday, November 11th, 2003
The latest edition of the American Heart Journal (October 2003) finally acknowledges one of the most basic naturopathic therapies: hydrotherapy. A study involving patients with chronic heart failure had them apply alternating hot and cold water three times a day to their arms and legs.
As the press release reported: “After hydrotherapy, patients reported improvements in their symptoms, and in quality-of-life measures like mood and physical capacity. And on average, they had a lower heart rate at rest and during exercise tests. ”
Hydrotherapy has been used by naturopathic physicians for over 100 years. Recovery from virtually every illness and disease can be enhanced through specific types of hydrotherapy applications.
