Malvern Water Cure (12 of 12): Preparing for the Packing - A Journey Back in Time to Historical Malvern Water Therapy This image from the annals of medical history depicts the final stages of the Malvern Water Cure, a popular alternative therapy that gained prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Malvern Water Cure, which involved the application of water from the Malvern Hills in England, was believed to have therapeutic properties for various ailments, particularly those related to the digestive system. In this photograph, we see a woman, likely a patient, surrounded by her nearest and dearest friends, as they prepare for the packing stage of the treatment. The woman, who once appeared vibrant and full of life, now resembles a mummy, having undergone multiple applications of mud packs and bandages soaked in Malvern water. The mummification-like appearance was a common sight during the Malvern Water Cure, as the treatments often left the skin dry and covered in bandages. The scene is set against a backdrop of simple, rustic surroundings, with wooden tables, baskets, and earthenware jars, all reminiscent of the era. The friends help the woman into a freshly prepared bath, filled with warm Malvern water, ready for the final stage of the treatment. The woman's transformation serves as a testament to the dedication and commitment required to undergo this historical therapy. The Malvern Water Cure, with its rich history and unique approach to healing, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of alternative medical treatments. This photograph not only captures the essence of this bygone era but also highlights the power of friendship and support during times of health challenges.
