EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient practice of hydrotherapy treatments, which experienced a remarkable resurgence in popularity during the late 19th century. The image captures three different forms of hydrotherapy treatment: wet packs for treating the kidney and spine, as well as a sitz-bath and half-bath at the bottom. Hydrotherapy, one of the oldest forms of medical treatment known to mankind, has been utilized for centuries due to its therapeutic benefits. This particular photograph is sourced from "Die Neue Heilmethode Lehrbuch" by M Platen, published in Berlin around 1902. The top section illustrates wet packs being applied to treat ailments related to both the kidney and spine. These targeted applications were believed to alleviate pain and promote healing through water immersion therapy. Moving down towards the bottom portion of this intriguing print, we encounter two distinctive hydrotherapy techniques - sitz-baths and half-baths. These methods involved immersing specific body parts or regions in water for therapeutic purposes. While this image does not mention any commercial use or company affiliation, it provides us with an insightful glimpse into historical medical practices that have stood the test of time. Hydrotherapy continues to be recognized today as an alternative form of medicine that harnesses water's healing properties for various health conditions.
