Traditional Medicine World Congress-TMC 2026

Balneotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses mineral-rich water, thermal springs, and mud baths to promote health, wellness, and healing. Traditionally practiced across cultures, it is known to support musculoskeletal, dermatological, and circulatory health, while also offering relaxation and stress reduction benefits. This session at the Traditional Medicine World Congress 2026 will explore the principles, applications, and scientific evidence supporting balneotherapy as a complementary treatment modality.

The session will cover different types of therapeutic baths, water-based exercises, mud and peat treatments, and protocols for clinical and wellness applications. Discussions will also address safety considerations, treatment efficacy, and integration of balneotherapy into modern healthcare and integrative medicine frameworks. By combining traditional practices with contemporary research, this session aims to highlight the potential of balneotherapy to enhance quality of life, support rehabilitation, and promote holistic well-being.
