“…The most common indicated treatments are moor mud baths which incorporate dead sea mud [94]. The mud bath provides a notable increase in magnesium and bromine in the skin, both of these compounds might play a vital role in psoriatic skin [94][95][96]. While the mud bath is not accepted as a well-established treatment modality due to a lack of clinical trials, thermal balneotherapy is used throughout the world in psoriatic therapy owing to its ability to offer natural, multifactorial, complementary, and nontoxic alternative treatments [95,96].…”

Psoriasis is a chronic, papulo-squamous, non-infectious, immune-mediated, and inflammatory skin disorder clinically characterized by erythematous sharply demarcated papules and rounded plaques covered by silvery micaceous scales. It is associated with comorbidities such as psoriatic arthritis, depression, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Psoriasis can also be a source of self and social rejection, thus contributing to stigmatization, alienation, and a decrease in the quality of life (QoL). Due to its complex pathogenesis, a holistic approach is necessary when treating psoriasis. In addition to treating physical symptoms, the patient’s psychological and emotional health should be highly considered to help individuals cope with stigma. Likewise, an increased social awareness of psoriasis may contribute to a better understanding of the disease. Alternative stress management therapies such as spa therapies using dead sea mud and or balneotherapy, yoga, and aromatherapy may be effective in stress management to improve overall well-being and QoL.

Psoriasis merupakan penyakit inflamasi kronis residif dengan beberapa faktor risiko yang memengaruhi antara lain genetik, sistem imunitas, lingkungan serta hormonal. Lesi kulit psoriasis berupa plak eritematosa berbatas tegas dengan skuama tebal berlapis yang berwarna keputihan. Tata laksana psoriasis bervariasi tergantung dari derajat keparahan penyakit dan dapat berupa penggunaan obat topikal, sistemik, terapi sinar maupun terapi dengan menggunakan bahan-bahan alami seperti mineral dan balneoterapi. Balneoterapi dapat digunakan sebagai terapi tambahan pada psoriasis karena efektivitasnya terhadap perbaikan lesi psoriasis terutama tipe plak. Balneoterapi adalah teknik pengobatan tradisional dengan cara mandi, minum atau inhalasi menggunakan air yang mengandung mineral dan dapat menggunakan sumber mineral seperti air mineral, lumpur yang mengandung mineral (peloid) dan gas alam yang berasal dari mata air alami. Balneoterapi dapat mengurangi ketebalan stratum korneum dan lusidum, menurunkan jumlah limfosit, histiosit, granulosit dan eosinofil, meningkatkan permeabilitas kulit, mengurangi inflamasi, memperbaiki mikrosirkulasi serta sistem imun kulit serta dapat menurunkan cytokine proinflamasi pada penyakit psoriasis. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membahas efektivitas modalitas balneoterapi sebagai terapi tambahan pada psoriasis sehingga dapat mempercepat terjadinya perbaikan klinis dan mengurangi terjadinya kekambuhan penyakit.
