Air and Water. Pathology and Therapy. The paper makes an overview of the pathological aspects of air when limits of thermal comfort, high pressure variation, humidity, high winds or air pollution are surpassed. Various forms of naturistic treatments based on the qualities of air (aerotherapy, heliotherapy, mofette and saline cures) are also discussed. Some pathologies, pollution with heavy metals, pesticides and micro-biological agents can unleash water-related epidemics. Water-based cures (crenotherapy with mineral waters, hydro- and thalassotherapy) are also dealt with. Medical indications for prophylactic, treatment and rehabilitation cures are included.
