In the era when biological treatments for psoriasis are gaining more and more popularity, climatotherapy represents a safe and efficient alternative to the conventional therapeutic modalities. Climatotherapy comprises alternative treatment methods, which are based on the healing capacities of natural resources. This paper provides the reader with relevant information on the different climatotherapeutic methods, the intimate mechanisms of their action, and the cumulated clinical experience in the treatment of psoriasis. The positive effect of thalassotherapy for psoriasis has been known since ancient times. However, in the past decades a number of controlled studies revealed the efficacy of thalassotherpay in the treatment of psoriasis. Herein, it is exemplified on the experience in the centers at the Dead Sea and the Black Sea coast. Originating from Europe, balneo- and spa therapy are becoming popular alternatives for psoriasis treatment worldwide. A short review on the centers profiled for psoriasis therapy is provided. The unique sites of Blue Lagoon in Iceland and Kangal in Turkey are selected in this paper. Additionally, alternative nature-based treatments for psoriasis such as high mountain climatotherapy and naphtalotherapy are discussed.
在生物疗法治疗银屑病越来越受欢迎的时代，气候疗法是传统治疗方式的一种安全有效的替代方法。气候疗法包括基于自然资源治愈能力的替代治疗方法。本文为读者提供了有关不同气候治疗方法、其作用的内在机制以及银屑病治疗累积临床经验的相关信息。海水浴疗法对银屑病的积极作用自古以来就为人所知。然而，在过去几十年中，一些对照研究揭示了海水浴疗法治疗银屑病的疗效。在此，以死海和黑海沿岸中心的经验为例进行说明。源自欧洲的浴疗和温泉疗法正在成为全球治疗银屑病的流行替代方法。本文对专门治疗银屑病的中心进行了简要综述。本文选取了冰岛蓝湖和土耳其坎加尔等独特地点。此外，还讨论了针对银屑病的基于自然的替代疗法，如高山气候疗法和萘疗法。
