Constitutional Hydrotherapy

Revitalize Your Body

Expert application of contrasting hot and cold water can improve immunity and speed recovery from acute and chronic illnesses and injuries.

What is Constitutional Hydrotherapy?

Constitutional hydrotherapy uses the combination of alternating hot and cold water and low-voltage electrical sine wave activity for health purposes. Overall, the treatment acts as a sort of thermal pump which helps to improve delivery of oxygen, nutrients and repair molecules while speeding the removal of metabolic wastes, inflammatory substances and environmental toxins from the body. The overall therapy also promotes relaxation and stress relief.


How does constitutional hydrotherapy work?

Hot towels are applied to the chest and abdomen in several warm layers. When the body and skin is sufficiently warm, the hot towels are replaced with a thin cold towel that is covered with layers of wool blanket. The body quickly warms the towel, and during this phase, low volt massage currents may be used. A dry phase with electrical stimulation to the abdomen and back area may follow. The hot, cold, and warming towel phases will be repeated on the back.

The effect of the hot applications dilates the arterial blood vessels. The short cold towel applications constrict blood vessels. The sine-wave massage currents stimulate the muscles and nerves moving venous blood and lymph flow. This combined effect enhances the healing capacity of the body in many conditions, and often is used in conjunction with other therapies.

Cold Towel Phase

Cold towels, layered with wool blankets, quickly re-engage the body’s circulation while stimulating immunity

Hot Towel Phase

Layers of warm towels are placed on the chest and abdomen, gently opening blood vessels.

Electrical Stimulation

Low-voltage currents are applied to encourage muscle and nerve activity, enhancing blood and lymph flow.
