Constitutional Hydrotherapy

One last form of hydrotherapy is constitutional hydrotherapy. It was a method developed and mastered by the naturopathic physician, Dr. O. G. Carroll (1879 - 1962) and his followers. Constitutional hydrotherapy has been successfully used in treating a wide variety of conditions for over sixty years. Its success is due to the fact that constitutional hydrotherapy enhances the immune system, improves overall nutrition, promotes detoxification and helps restore balance to the nervous system

The procedure required to perform constitutional hydrotherapy is more complex than the previous examples given of hydrotherapy. All the naturopathic colleges are taught hydrotherapy, including constitutional hydrotherapy. If you are interested in receiving a constitutional hydrotherapy treatment contact the naturopathic school nearest you.
