galvanic bath

Galvanic bath is an alternative medical treatment (a type of electrotherapy) based on the simultaneous use of water and electric current.

Galvanic baths are mostly used in the treatment of degenerative diseases such as inflammatory arthritis and problems with the joints.

Jennie Kidd Trout played the most notable role in studying galvanic bath effects and generally popularizing the procedure.

Modern methods of treatment are being utilized, including ultrasound techniques, stimulator's, diathermy and iodized and galvanic baths.

Trout then opened the Therapeutic and Electrical Institute in Toronto, which specialized in treatments for women involving "galvanic baths or electricity."

While some users claim to have benefitted from galvanic baths, there is little actual evidence to support the idea that electrical currents at low ampere have such an effect on the body.

The Therapeutic and Electrical Institute opened by Jennie Kidd Trout in Toronto, Canada, specialized in specific treatments for all that involved Austyn galvanic baths and electricity.

In addition to full galvanic baths, when the patient's body is fully immersed in water, there are also four-chambered galvanic baths (also called four cell galvanic baths), which also combine electro energy and hydrotherapy, but are used only on the limbs.
