Treatment of disease through bathing in mineral springs or therapeutic baths.
Directly from Latin/Greek roots: balneum (bath) + therapeia (healing/treatment). This is a Latinized form of balneotherapy, sometimes used in medical literature.
This Latinized version was preferred in formal medical texts to sound more authoritative—doctors writing in Latin or presenting to learned societies would use 'balneotherapia' rather than the English 'balneotherapy.'
