Health resort and human immune response How balneology can protect and improve health
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has posed important scientific questions, to date only partially clarified. One of the emerged is the fundamental role of the immune system in prevention, therapy and rehabilitation related to the COVID-19 infection. FEMTEC has questioned the role of balneotherapy in improving human immune function.
The Federation has therefore decided to release a document to provide reliable scientific data based on specific methodological criteria on the role of balneotherapy in human health and, more specifically, in improving the immune response.
The Authors, Dr. Maria Chiara Maccarone, Dr. Giacomo Magro and Dr. Anna Scanu, coordinated by Prof. Stefano Masiero, Director of the Rehabilitation Department of the University of Padua (Italy) and President of the Femtec Commission for Physical Therapy, have carried out a thorough research and critical analysis of the existing literature on the subject from which emerges a picture of undoubted interest that not only seems to confirm the important role of balneotherapy in the prevention of certain diseases, but also opens interesting perspectives in other fields of research.
