The thermal baths of Balaruc-les-Bains are launching a new care pathway for women who have suffered breast cancer. This is a complementary cure to a “classic” cure, it was imagined with the ICM / Val d’Aurelle, the Cancer Institute of Montpellier.
“You have to treat the effects of chemotherapy.”
60% of Balaruc spa guests are women and 40% of them have been affected personally or in their entourage by breast cancer. “The idea is to support these women who are in remission to treat the effects of chemotherapy, the effects of radiation, but also to support this remission for several years. It involves special care, in particular more relaxing massages to relax the muscles.There is also psychological support, sports support, but also beauty support with the benefits of Balaruc thermal water, anti-inflammatory, painkiller and antioxidant. And it helps you sleep better too. explains Paul François Houvion, the general manager of the thermal baths of Balaruc.
“I found my baby skin.”
A cure that goes beyond conventional treatmentsstaff see this regularly. “When we have had harsh treatments, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, the physical mutilation that it can cause, we really need to breathe. We have a lady who is finishing her three weeks. Me, she told me. “First, I do not recognize myself so much, I have changed. I don’t recognize myself so much, I can sleep better and I have found my baby skin” explains Nathalie Raffort, in charge of skincare development. The jets are also suitable for weakened skin.
The cure costs 700 eurosit is partly reimbursed by social security provided of course that it is prescribed by a doctor.
