Abstract

The feeling of sadness is said to be an individual problem which can take advantage of an adequate Spa therapy in all its complexity. The sadness as a feeling of disproportional affective reaction with mental consequences, can find relief in the Spa cures and their different structural elements like the hydrothermal techniques, psychical actions, environmental features..., etc. These Spa cures have many favourable effects not only on the body but also on the mind, being capable of liberating the mind of worries and respecting the peculiar personality and way of suffering of the patient.
