Physicians can include the products of modern pharmaceutical industry in their therapeutic arsenal and exploit the findings of innovative drug research, considering thermal medicine a complementary practice. They should not treat with dexterity the scientific results of documented research on thermal medicine and should recognize its contribution to the perpetual effort for maximizing the benefits for patients without any undesirable effects.”
