Readers can take a journey through the rich and varied wellness cultures of eastern and central Europe in a new book – Healing Sources – Spas and Wellbeing from the Baltic to the Black Sea – that’s being published in December. A number of the region’s wellbeing approaches are based on the power of natural resources, such as respiratory healing in Poland’s salt mines and mud pools in Slovakia, and author Sophie Benge has also written a series of reports on such therapies
Original photos and tales focus on the region’s natural remedies and wellbeing facilities
