EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from c1902 showcases various hydrotherapy treatments, providing a glimpse into one of the oldest forms of medical treatment. In the top section, we see a steam pack with hot water bottles displayed both open and closed, representing the therapeutic use of heat to alleviate ailments. Moving to the middle portion, attention is drawn to an intriguing scene where cold water stimulates the larynx, highlighting alternative methods employed during this era. Finally, in the bottom segment, full body douches and knee douches are depicted as part of comprehensive hydrotherapy sessions. During the late 19th century, hydrotherapy experienced a resurgence in popularity as people sought natural remedies for their health concerns. This particular image originates from "Die Neue Heilmethode Lehrbuch" by M Platen and offers insight into Berlin's medical practices at that time. Hydrotherapy's efficacy lies in its ability to harness water's healing properties and promote overall well-being. As seen here, it encompasses various techniques such as steam packs, cold-water stimulation, and targeted douches for specific body parts.
