Balneotherapy: Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis with Water
R
heumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in the general family of lupus. In rheumatoid arthritis, the body’s
immune system, which normally fights infection, attacks the lining of the joints. This makes the joints swollen, stiff and painful. The small joints of the hands and feet are usually affected first. There is no cure for RA at present, so the aim of treatment is to relieve pain and stiffness and improve the individual’s ability to move. Balneotherapy is a broad classification for various types of
health treatments that make use of water. Balneotherapy (also called mineral baths or spa-therapy) is an ancient and popular therapy. It involves spending time in a mineral water bath at temperatures between 31 to 36 degrees Celsius (88 to 97 degrees Fahrenheit). The most common forms of balneotherapy involve the immersion of a patient into water enriched with essential minerals such as calcium, sulfur and magnesium. The relief that many RA patients experience with Balneo-
therapy comes from the exposure to and absorption of needed nutrients through the skin during treatment. Therapeutic bath salts provide a variety of benefits to a bather. The salts change the osmotic balance of the water so that the water is absorbed by the skin via osmosis. Adding magnesium sulfate has also been shown to be beneficial. When magnesium sulfate is absorbed through the skin, the magnesium has an anti-inflammatory effect.
