Partial bath method according to Hauffe for the treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous system

Many years have passed since the publication of the interesting monograph by Hauffe ("Grundlagen der Hydrotherapié"). The author presented the result of 25 years of work and 180,000 observations on the effect of his special method of using partial baths with a gradually increasing temperature for cardiovascular diseases. The author's material, carefully examined (X-ray, plethysmography, electrocardiography), as well as data from a number of German and Russian authors, quite convincingly show the therapeutic value of this method. A number of authors, having confirmed the main conclusions, expanded the indications for this method.
