Hydropathic establishment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hydropathic establishment is a place where people are given water therapy. They are commonly built in spa towns, where mineral-rich or hot water occurs naturally.
Taking the waters, by drinking it, bathing in it, or having colonic irrigation with it, is believed by some to restore or promote good health.
Several hydropathic institutions wholly transferred their operations away from therapeutic purposes become to tourist hotels in the late twentieth century whilst retaining the name 'Hydro'. There are several prominent examples in Scotland at Crieff, Peebles and Seamill amongst others.
