This article has at least three problems. First, the lede is unclear. Is it about mineral baths, hot springs, etc., for healing? That can be dealt with. Second, it is promotional. Removing that would not leave much. Third, it has no independent references, and it is difficult to find independent references on Google. (This article is found, but is not independent.)

Redirect to Balneotherapy, to which it adds little or nothing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:33, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Redirect (that's a new !vote for me) to Balneotherapy - none of the sources I could find online seemed reliable. The book references in article I was unsure about, I wasn't able to make a clear assessment but the publishing house didn't seem to be significant, either here or on the polish wiki.

Redirect as outlined above; it's an alternative search term but not a different concept. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:56, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
