概要

論文の詳細を見る
We have studied the appearance and the frequency of the hot spring bathing reaction (thermal crisis. "Bäderreaktion") and their influences on the function of the liver, and obtained the following results:1) The hot spring bathing reaction (thermal crisis) causes a slight functional disturbance of the liver, but not a serious disturbance of the liver parenchym. It may be called a mere functional irregularity of the liver rather than a disturbance of the liver, since it is temporary and reversible.2) Caution must be taken of the appearance in the patients suffering from the liver or the kidney troubles of the hot spring bathing reaction (thermal crisis).3) Whether the appearance of the hot spring bathing reaction (thermal crisis) is advisable in the bathing therapy must be examined in detail from other biological view-points, but it cannot be denied entirely that it has some good effects. This, however, is the most essential problem in balneo-therapy, and a conclusion should be reached after making further studies of it.
