Iodine-bromine bath
A bath rich in iodine and bromine, also chosen as an alternative where the naftalan bath is contraindicated.
The iodine-bromine bath enriches the body with iodine and bromine. It is widely used in sanatorium practice and is considered as an alternative procedure where the naftalan bath is contraindicated.
What it does
The combined action of iodine and bromine is directed at speeding metabolism, reducing inflammation, easing pain and settling the nervous system. It supports circulation and has a favourable effect on the skin's repair processes.
Which programmes use it
It is applied in musculoskeletal, gynaecological, urological, endocrine, gastrointestinal and skin programmes. Which case it suits is decided by the doctor on the findings of the examination.
Alongside the naftalan bath
The two baths are not placed on the same day. The doctor either alternates them or, where a naftalan bath is not possible, prescribes the iodine-bromine bath as the main procedure.
When Iodine-bromine bath is prescribed

- Gynaecological conditions: adnexitis, ovarian dysfunction
- Urological conditions: prostatitis, urethritis
