hydropathy (hī·drˑ·p·thē),
n a system of alternative medicine in which baths are administered to stimulate the patient in order to eliminate disease. Developed in Austria in the 1820s, this system was popularized in the United States in the 1840s but lost its popularity soon after the Civil War. The system was enhanced by a series of changes to regulate lifestyle, such as exercise, diet, dress, and sleep patterns. Also called
