Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy uses the healing properties of water, specifically temperature and pressure, to stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural detoxification and healing processes. This time-tested therapy is a cornerstone of naturopathic medicine.

What is Hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy involves alternating applications of hot and cold water to specific areas of the body. Heat promotes blood flow and relaxes tissues, while cold reduces inflammation and congestion. When used in sequence, these temperature shifts create a pumping effect that enhances circulation, delivers oxygen and nutrients, and removes metabolic waste.

This therapy is deceptively gentle yet powerful, tonifying the cardiovascular system and revitalizing tissues in need of healing.

• Autoimmune conditions
