Abstract
Peloids are therapeutic agents used in thermal medical / spa centers for the treatment of several ailments, mainly rheumatological diseases, sport injuries and dermato logical disorders. Peloids are composed by a mixture of a solid phase (clay, silt, peat, etc.), a liquid phase (mineral-medicinal water or seawater/salt-lake water), and a biological phase which include cyanobacteria and/or microalgae. This work describes the process of formulating a peloid from mineral-medicinal water (Balneario El Raposo), a solid clayey substrate, a microalga (Monoraphidium pusillum), and rosmarinic acid for use in muscular-skeletal disorders. In order to evaluate its thermotherapeutic potential, thermophysical properties have been studied. The development of a “phyto-peloid” could be of interest in order to improve the anti-inflammatory properties of thermal muds.
peloid是热医学/水疗中心用于治疗几种疾病的治疗剂，主要是风湿病、运动损伤和皮肤疾病。类球粒由固相（粘土、淤泥、泥炭等）、液相（矿物-药用水或海水/咸湖水）和生物相（包括蓝藻和/或微藻）的混合物组成。这项工作描述了从矿物质药用水（Balneario El Raposo）、固体粘土基质、微藻（Monoraphidium pusillum）和迷迭香酸中配制成类球体的过程，用于肌肉骨骼疾病。为了评价其热疗潜力，对其热物理性质进行了研究。为了提高热泥浆的抗炎性能，“类植物”的开发可能会引起人们的兴趣。
期刊介绍：
The Journal publishes original research papers, review articles and short communications on studies examining the interactions between living organisms and factors of the natural and artificial atmospheric environment.
Living organisms extend from single cell organisms, to plants and animals, including humans. The atmospheric environment includes climate and weather, electromagnetic radiation, and chemical and biological pollutants. The journal embraces basic and applied research and practical aspects such as living conditions, agriculture, forestry, and health.
The journal is published for the International Society of Biometeorology, and most membership categories include a subscription to the Journal.
