Hydrotherapy is the application of water in any form, externally or internally, to treat disease and maintain health.  Naturopathic hydrotherapy is hydrotherapy used in conjunction with natural modalities such as supplements, herbs, and homeopathy. 

Hydrotherapies must be prescribed by a YNC doctor and are delivered in the Hydrotherapy Spa on the lower level of the clinic.  Hours and policies for the Hydrotherapy Spa are the same as for the Oasis Spa.
