Carrasco Institute of Saltscapes and Salt Heritage (IPAISAL), Apartado de Correos 50 28450 Collado Mediano, Spain Among the often cited 14,000 uses of salt, many are related to wellness and health. Its different physical-chemical properties allow many health-related applications of salt itself, brine, mother lay and saline muds. Salt can be used as skin rubs or in blocks, for building halochambers; inhaled as aerosols or even ionised by lamps. Brine can be ingested or used for bathing and exercising in it. Mother lay is usually employed as a basis for cosmetics and skin treatments and muds are traditionally applied directly on the skin for similar ailments. Many of these applications have been known since the Antiquity and are still in use today. Some have disappeared or are only known at local scale, while others are growing in popularity, amid the surge of spa and wellness facilities worldwide. The also increasingly popular natural and alternative treatments have included salt-related healing. In this contribution, we will review among others the traditional uses of brine and salt for health provision; the therapeutic and wellness uses of mother lay and mud as a side activity for traditional salinas, some of which have built ad hoc spa and wellness centres; the now widespread phenomenon of salt caves and mines for halotherapy and the historical spas built around saline lakes, now in disuse.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is one of the most common diseases in gynecology at present. Some clinical trials have reported the effects of moxibustion and confirmed temporal factors are the important elements influencing the efficacy of moxibustion. However, no systematic review has yet been conducted. In this study, we assessed the effects of moxibustion in patients with PD enrolled in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the difference among different intervention times to start moxibustion. We extracted data for studies searched from 10 electronic databases and evaluated the methodological quality of the included studies. We discussed three outcomes: effective rate, pain remission, and the level of PGF2 in serum. Current clinical researches showed that, compared with nonmoxibustion treatments for PD, moxibustion leads to higher effective rate and lower level of PGF2 in serum.

Some patients have questions about types of water for bathing or skin cleansing. Objective: We studied the pH of water from various sources to give an overview for physicians to recommend patients with AD. Methods: Water from various sources was collected for measurement of the pH using a pH meter and pH-indicator strips. Results: Bottled drinking still water had pH between 6.9 and 7.5 while the sparkling type had pH between 4.9 and 5.5. Water derived from home water filters had an approximate pH of 7.5 as same as tap water. Swimming pool water had had pH between 7.2 and 7.5 while seawater had a pH of 8. Normal saline and distilled water had pH of 5.4 and 5.7, respectively. Facial mineral water had pH between 7.5 and 8, while facial makeup removing water had an acidic pH. Conclusion: Normal saline, distilled water, bottled sparkling water and facial makeup removing water had similar pH to that of normal skin of normal people. However, other factors including benefits of mineral substances in the water in terms of bacteriostatic and anti- inflammation should be considered in the selection of cleansing water.

Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences 2013; Vol2, Issue 37, September 16; Page: 7077-7083. ABSTRACT: Coined by Dr. John Scheel, Henry Lindlahr crediting him as “father of Naturopathy”, Naturopathy system of Medicine is a system of healing science stimulating the body’s inherent power to regain health with the help of five great elements of nature.

Naturopathy is an approach to healing using “natural” means such as diet and lifestyle. For treatment, it primarily stresses on correcting all the factors involved and allowing the body to recover itself.

  • The Historical Background of the German Law Regulating Health Practitioners
    The Historical Background of the German Law Regulating Health Practitioners Master Thesis to obtain the Master of Science in Osteopathy at the Donau Universität Krems submitted at the Wiener Schule für Osteopathie by Tillmann Einenkel Munich, December 2007 Tutor: Mag. Katharina Musil Translation by Dale Whinnett 1 Preface Respect and humility in the face of natural systems are not archaic virtues but should constitute an integral part of modern medicine. We need to avoid placing such high value on technical achievements that we fail to acknowledge the opportunities nature offers and its inherent powers of healing. It is important that we accept that human beings are and will remain part of nature. We have no influence over the fact that we are born or that we will die, but we do control one aspect. We are responsible for what we make out of our lives. This alone is sufficient reason to profit from our forefathers’ wealth of experience and to learn from their mistakes. In the course of my research I read numerous historic documents on the subject of medicine and health. Judging from the dates of the documents one might assume that the information they contain is equally antiquated. Far from it! The knowledge they contain is as significant today as it was hundreds of years ago when they were created. Modern medicine should not be viewed from a current scientific perspective alone, but should also take into account neuen alten Heilmethoden (new forms of complementary medicine). The wealth of experience gathered over centuries of empirical natural medicine cannot be replaced by modern scientific medicine.
