Nebulisation is a collective treatment, thethermal wateris released, in the form of a dense, humid mist, consisting of countless minute droplets of mineral water suspended in a common saturated environment, where the patient will be held for the duration of the application.

Humage is a therapeutic treatment based on the inhalation of gases present in thermal waters. It is a dry inhalation treatment and is ideal for reaching the lower respiratory tract and the tiniest of the pulmonary alveoli. To release the gases, the compressed air is passed through a collection vessel full of thermal water. The bubbling generated releases the active ingredients of the water that, on gathering in the upper part of the vessel, are pushed via air pressure, up into the patient's mask.

This variant of aerosol therapy, conceived by the French physiologist Guillerm, is distinguished by the association of a 100-Hertz (Hz) sound wave to tiny particles of sulphurous water at regular intervals which, on acquiring a special kinetic flow, empowers them to penetrate into cavities of the paranasal sinuses and middle ear through the Eustachian tube. During the sonic aerosol treatment, the patient must frequently swallow: this action closes the posterior link between nose and throat via the soft palate, causing the pressure to increase in the nasal cavity and thus enabling the aerosol micelles to enter into the paranasal sinuses and into the tympanostomy tube. Sonic aerosols are specifically used for chronic rhinosinusitis and adjuvant in the treatment of chronic catarrhal otitis media and chronic catarrhal otosalpingitis.

The water aspirated from the compressed air is let out so under pressure. Fractionation is thus obtained in very small and homogeneous particles with a diameter of 2-4 microns. It is a stand-alone treatment and can be performed orally or nasally by means of a suitable nozzle or nasal fork. With the aerosol, the deep airways are penetrated as far as the pulmonary alveoli and it is indicated in the treatment of chronic diseases of the upper and lower airways; nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea and bronchial tree.

The ionised aerosol is a special type of stand-alone inhalationtreatmentin which the aerosol-therapy is combined with flowing thermal water and negative aeroionotherapy. The treatment is carried out using a special device that provides a negative electrical charge to the aerosol particles. The electrical charge prevents the particles from joining together, and thus enabling them to reach deeper into the airways. It also makes it easier for the aerosol particles to be absorbed by the respiratory tract’s mucous membranes resulting in better utilisation of the oxygen on a cellular level, and performing an intense antiallergic action. Thecureis performed with a special mask with which it is possible to administer the aerosol therapy either nasally and orally. This special inhalation treatment is suitable for allergic and non-allergic vasomotor rhinitis and in rhino-bronchial syndromes and chronic bronchitis.

Steam jet inhalation is generally provided as a preparatory treatment to inhalation treatments as the vasodilation effect from the steam prepares the tissues for the absorption of the active principles then delivered by the aerosol. Atomised thermal water particles of 8 to 10 microns in size at 36-37 ° C are produced which can reach the upper respiratory tract (nose, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, trachea and lower bronchi).

It is a stand-alonetreatmentdesigned to fluidise secretions present in the nasal cavity and in the rhinopharyngeal and pharyngeal zone through an abundant flow of thermal water particles. It is particularly suitable for all chronic catarrhal pathologies of the nose and throat: rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, rhinopharyngitis. It is useful in secretory otitis media (or otitis media with effusion) in children and chronic otosalpingitis in adults.

Sulphurous water, as a shower or a hydromassage bath, works in synergy with the mud, providing an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect for various pathologies: muscle-tendon-bone. In addition, the action of the sulphurous water, directed onto the body by special jets, has a relaxing effect making it suitable for all those who suffer from muscular pains, of various origin (tension from stress, trauma, etc. ..).

Thethermalmud is produced by mixing a solid component, clay with thermal waters. The sulphurouswaterscharacteristic of these spas are what give the mud its anti-inflammatory properties. The heat of the mud (38-40°C) facilitates the penetration of sulphur, the active ingredient of these waters. The mud is an ideal means for healing chronic post-traumatic and osteoarticular pathologies. The treatment is followed by a hot bath to allow the entire body to relax and benefit from the water's effect.

A complete treatment for PSORIASIS and many skin diseases. Immersion in hot water has a rejuvenating effect on the skin and relaxes the entire body. It is a useful alternative to mud therapy for those patients with contraindications. It also has a regenerating and soothing effect on the skin.

The smoothing effect of ozone works in combination with the muscle relaxant action of the sulphurous waters, penetrating the skin to combat free radicals and promote cellular balance.

The pathologies of the middle ear and tube which can lead to hypoacusis or rhinogenous hearing loss are closely related to those of the nose and pharynx. It is therefore essential to combine tubal insufflation with inhalation treatment.

Endo-tympanic insufflation is a stand-alone treatment for those who suffer from rhinogenous hearing loss. Rhinogenous hearing loss refers to a set of pathological conditions that cause transmissive hypoacusis linked to the inflammatory processes in the rhinopharynx, the Eustachian tube and the middle ear. The insufflations are performed exclusively by medical specialists in Otolaryngology and Medical Hydrology, by introducing a small tube into the patient’s nose (Itard catheter). Once the catheter has been driven as far as the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube, the physician introduces (insufflates) sulphur gas at low pressure via the catheter into the Eustachian tube. The gas is released due to the bubbling of the sulphurous water and it flushes the tubal blockages, helping the tube itself and tympanic cavity to free itself from any secretions that may be present.
