Therapeutic treatment with sunlight and heat
Heliotherapy is the sunlight irradiation for healing purposes (physical therapy). The existing infrared rays develop a warming effect and the blue and ultraviolet rays present especially in the high mountains and at the sea have a chemical-biological effect.
The use of heliotherapy is particularly indicated for tuberculous skin diseases and bone tuberculosis. As a general effect, moderate use should result in an increased appetite, better blood circulation, increased blood formation and an increase in resistance.
