Key Findings
- Reviews effects of balneotherapy on human immune response from in-vitro to clinical
- Documents immunomodulatory effects including T-cell and cytokine modulation
- Bridges the gap between laboratory evidence and real-world clinical outcomes
Extensive narrative review bridging in-vitro research on balneotherapy’s effects on the immune system with real-world clinical studies. Key reference for the immunomodulatory mechanism — documents how peloid therapy modulates T-cell populations, cytokine profiles, and overall immune function. Supports the distinction between anti-inflammatory (suppression) and immunomodulatory (rebalancing) effects.
