Therapeutic Natural ResourcesThe phyllosilicate “terra sigillata” still in use today, may have been the firstpatented medicine; through yours peculiar colloidal size and layered doublecrystalline structure have received attention in the development ofelectrochemical sensors or biosensors and other multiple purposes, suchas activation metabolism of polymer phenolic compounds, energymetabolism, self-cleaning processes, dermatology, antiinflammatory andeven cancer therapies. Special consideration deserve natural springs14
with BAC observed from emanating gases15 (O2, CO2, H2S, Radon-222Rn,Thoron-220Rn, and others also at water dissolved occurrences16), hot17 orwarm water flow and inorganic chemical elements on aqueous solutionmost bioavailable form: ionic at natural balance diluted water.
*BAC: Biologically Active ComponentsThe emotional, mental, and physical health benefits coming from somespecial areas1 or atmospheres2 human contact; as well as therapeuticvalue3 from minerals, waters, muds, gas or salts has been recognized sinceancient times. Preserved natural4 or even urban environment5 caninfluence the metabolism through comfort6, weather or landscape features7.Many wellness against illness, physiological effects and pharmacologicalinfluences has been scientifically described on these settings. Beautiful andpeaceful panoramic views8, mountains, beaches9, forests and well caredranches for example. Climatology get how BAC: temperature, atmosphericpressure, humidity and smells are treatments or curative used a long timeago; alone or together other complementary medicines.
Mineral Healing MaterialsGeologic diversified materials also own historically indicated curative andpreventative (even religious) properties; many are being used in some oftoday’s pharmaceuticals, nutrientes and most sophisticated medicalapplications. At solid state will be cited some rocks, minerals, salts10, fossilsand crystals; but emphasis here denote about sands (calcitic andmonazite)11 and clays12 or muds13 with discovered relationship at a “homohabilis” site in Africa that is about two million years old.
Mineral SpringsSulphurous hot springs fountain18 has archaeological evidences, healthyapplications largely documented throughout the world in several periodsand strong correlation with medicine19, pharmacopoeias and SPAorigins20. Different compositions of these mineral waters has been relatedto specific diseases treatment and classified by SPA medicine internationalscientists or some national directive correlated law.
SPA TherapyThe World Health Organization (WHO) recognize it like complementarymedicine at various designations: crenotherapy, medical hydrology, healthresort medicine, thermal medicine, balneology21, hydrotherapy22 orhydroclimatology; were commonly few days (3 to 30 continuous or periodic)using all BAC above, mainly waters through bath23, ingestion24 and/orinhalation25 to curative or beneficial treatment of illnesses (mostly chronic).Currently, increases health tourism activity using some these philosophy topreventive, wellness, recreation26 or aesthetic27 proposes. Recentadvances in nanoscale observations and aquaporins skin membraneactivity research, begin explain and develop new therapies through BACdermal permeation28. At the end, note the vital necessity of daily mineral orall inorganic elements intake29. Ionomics study include geneticmodifications by absence or excess by particular ion dietary. drinkingwaters30 can be essential source some these BAC: Mg, Ca, F, Zn,...Ref.: termalismobrasil.blogspot.com
