What is meteorotherapy

Meteo-therapy is a distinct branch of non-conventional medicine that has been defined and described within the work of the National Association for the Promotion of Non-Conventional Medicine in Romania. In general, meteorotherapy is distinguished as a distinct and somewhat novel branch of naturopathy. The term meteorotherapy is a new term introduced in the nomenclature of non-conventional medicines and is still rather little used.

Weather therapy is defined as a form of science and unconventional therapy that makes the most of all the favourable environmental conditions that exist at a given time and makes the most of them for human well-being. As is well known, the human being is constantly influenced on a daily basis by certain factors specific to the climatic environment in which he or she lives. These factors vary according to both the day-night (diurnal time cyclenocturnal) and especially with the annual temporal cycle.

Practical methodology

In the case of weather therapy, the practitioner always aims to take advantage of theIt can provide a particular set of favourable environmental conditions. In order to understand the main mechanism of action of weather therapy, it is necessary to base ourselves on the following analogy: the human being is permanently immersed or embraced by a certain external qualitative environment which presents a series of parameters, which are identifiable in the form of qualitative dominances, and which correspondingly influence the internal environment of the human being, in the same qualitative sense in which the external qualitative dominance tends to encompass the internal qualitative dominance of the being.

In the case of weather therapy, the practical methodology is based mainly on two essential components: 1) the self-examining component, which consists in the prior identification of the qualitative condition that exists and that is within certain limits of abnormality, to be corrected by this unconventional means of operation, and 2) the active component, in which the human being uses inin a certain way the qualitative advantage that the external environment i-can offer it at a given time, in certain circumstances, to which it can expose itself, or in other words open itself, in the sense of being influenced more or less by those external qualitative conditions.

Harmonious integration

Essentially, weather therapy is into a certain extent correlated with the correct integration of the human being in the natural environment in which he lives. But from a practical point of view, meteorotherapy can be used ina voluntary way, highlighting, for example in the case of a human being with a very high accumulation of dryness, the advantages of a moist environment, and in the case of a human being with a surplus of stability or stagnation, exposure to wind, or in the case of a human being with a very high accumulation of cold, exposure to heat, as in the case of a human being with a surplus of hot, exposure to a cold environment may be more always useful.

In the context of Ayurvedic millenarian science, these natural adjustments resulting from the integration of the human being in accordance with the qualitative particularities of the external environment is described as an extremely natural, natural way, which is part of the general system of maintaining the balance of the human being - svasthavritta.

Agreement between being and the natural environment

In the modern context, in which alienating factors of the possibility of maintaining agreement between being and the natural environment have emerged as increasingly frequent, diverse and repeated, such ancient science even ne-explained so far, namely meteorotherapy, can be brought to light as a distinct methodology in its own right that can be successfully applied in the conditions of modern life and even particularly useful for its efficiency. often unsuspected or deliberately neglected- it can have. In the context of human existential unfolding there can be many different factors. The human being is constantly subject to the influence generated by the characteristics of the external natural environment.

The practical problem arising from this is to identify the extent to which man can control not necessarily their existence, but especially the qualitative impact that these environmental factors can generate in the inner universe.

Practical tools

A first practical tool of weather therapy is the ability to respond more or less immediately to external qualitative influences. Man can generate his own microclimate in which he can maintain himself for a certain period of time, minimising or reducing or even modifying the influence of external parameters. But this influence cannot be completely cancelled out. It exists by virtue of the multiple levers of qualitative exchange that generally exist in nature.

Creating such a different microclimate can be an essential tool to reduce the influence of the external environment when this influence is not necessary. However, when the influence of the external environment is lucidly assessed as necessarily necessary and useful, the human being has at his disposal the practical levers of weather therapy through which he can expose himself and benefit as much as possible from this qualitative variation which is vitally necessary.

These variations in the qualitative characteristics that the environment imposes on the individual universe of a living being (we say this also because we can often take the example of beings in the plant world for which the external qualitative contribution is often decisive in the process of maintaining vital existential parameters), the human being can use them or not, he can allow or not allow certain qualitative aspects toi influence insome kind of physical structure.

When the human being benefits from a certain favourable influence of the external environment, then it is as if it iswould be on the wave, thus discovering a particularly fruitful and valuable echo in her being in the direction that allows her to maintain balance and health.
