Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the therapeutic use of cold applications in treating various medical conditions based on the research of the author, and builds on insights from ancient medical texts like the writings of Hippocrates. The author establishes from the outset that cold has sedative rather than stimulant effects on the human body and, thus, is a helpful treatment for conditions in which heat and inflammation are present. The book surveys historical and contemporary methods of applying cold therapies, such as cold baths, which some doctors have used to treat illnesses like typhus fever with remarkable success. Anyone interested in the history of medicine or looking for alternative therapies for common ailments will find this an informative read, and the author's clear explanations make the book accessible to both medical professionals and laypeople alike.
