Climatotherapy and landscape therapy as the most important rehabilitation methods for patients

Landscape therapy and climatotherapy are two of the most conservative methods of restoring patients' lost health. Solutions to the existing problems in this area have recently been suggested by introducing new highly effective rehabilitation methods. However, this approach has limitations, which calls attention to conservative rehabilitation methods with a reassessment of their importance and a shift of the emphasis towards an evidence-based medicine. The review provides information on the action mechanisms of landscape therapy and climatotherapy and presents a number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) confirming the effectiveness of these rehabilitation methods. The expediency of supplementing the existing rehabilitation programs with a balneotherapy course is shown and the need for additional RCTs to study the effectiveness of landscape therapy, aerotherapy, heliotherapy, thalassotherapy, and speleotherapy in the rehabilitation of patients is given.
