title: [Spa treatment and health status].
abstract: Spa treatment, in its global complexity, is an active therapeutic way of treatment, capable to have an influence on the somatic and psychological status of the patient, seen its proven utility for protecting and restoring health. Spa treatment acts on the patient, in his body and mind, being a valuable complement of usual medical practices, at any age and circumstances. In spite of the short period of application (2 to 4 weeks), a considerable wellness is obtained when the indication and way of treatment are adequate, valuing the good results that can be reached in people of advanced age, depressive status and some other illnesses.
