Thermal treatment of the respiratory tract
The spa treatment provides overall support for pathologies affecting the respiratory tract as well as the upper airways as well as the pulmonary system.
Shortness of breath, wheezing, dry and irritating cough, but also productive (or expectoration), feeling of anguish, pain, nasal congestion, blowing, throat discomfort… These symptoms can be the consequences of respiratory tract disorders: acute pathologies , often of infectious origin or chronic pathologies. Current treatments consist of relieving pain and clearing the airways, generally through drug treatment, which can be applied locally, in part.
Thermal medicine is considered as a preventive or curative treatment depending on the pathologies, but also educational. It will help relieve pain, improve nasal permeability and airway ventilation, reduce drug consumption, decrease the frequency of seizures or infections and promote patient education.
These effects are reinforced by the geographical location of the thermal establishments, which provide patients with a pollution-free environment. This distance from everyday life also allows them to break with their habits, a favorable situation to initiate, for example, a smoking cessation.
This improvement will sometimes be gradual, the effects of the treatment not always being immediate and involving repeating the treatments in the first few years.
Respiratory tract and ENT diseases at any age
Respiratory allergies - Asthma - Bronchitis - Otitis - Sinusitis - Allergic rhinitis - Angina - Rhinosinusitis - Rhinoplasty - Recurrent nasopharyngitis - Hay fever - Spasmodic cough - Chronic bronchitis - COPD
The curists receive, throughout the cure, 6 treatments per day for 18 consecutive days, in the respiratory tract. The treatments are carried out on individual stations which combine several treatments. Specific equipment is required for personalized use. They can be accompanied by respiratory rehabilitation sessions by physiotherapists.
For recurrent infections (bronchitis, ear infections, etc.) we first seek to reduce inflammation, their repetitiveness and the consumption of antibiotics. Thermal water is used directly on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract in order to clean them in depth, to thin the mucus, to soothe inflammation and to promote their regeneration.
Local care is supplemented by an educational component based on learning to blow your nose, washing the nose or even respiratory physiotherapy.
For chronic pathologies (especially asthma), the objective is to reduce the frequency of attacks, by promoting better ventilation and by reducing allergies, often linked to chronicity.
