Hydrotherapy, formerly called hydropathy, is probably the oldest form of medical treatment. It involves the use of water for soothing pains and treating diseases.
Its use has been recorded as early as ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilizations. Egyptian royalty bathed with essential oils and flowers, while Romans had communal public baths for their citizens. It has been long accepted that hot water springs can improve health by increasing circulation. Hippocrates prescribed bathing in spring water for sickness. A Dominican monk, Sebastian Kneipp again revived it, during the 19th century. His book My Water Cure in 1889 was published and translated into many languages. Today, hydrotherapy is utilized in treating arthritis, burns, musculoskeletal disorders as well as for stroke patients with paralysis. The scientific evidence does not always support claims of effectiveness for this treatment.
The following material is from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, and thus represents the state of the field at the beginning of the 1900s.
