At the Angelia clinic, one of the treatment methods is wet wraps as a hydrotherapy method.
Wet wraps are a form of hydrotherapy that involves wrapping the body in wet sheets to treat various ailments and improve overall well-being. This method is used in both traditional medicine and naturopathy, as it helps improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and remove toxins.
