Within the current and the future Degree in Pharmacy studies, it should be emphasized the importance of Pharmaceutical Hydrology, a matter dealing with the mineromedicinal waters, their origin, properties and applications in health care, as well as the muds, prepared with mineromedicinal waters, exerting therapeutic activity (therapeutic muds or peloids). This subject is of great interest for the students, since its program includes some contents that pharmacists will be able to put into practice in their professional activity. In the last decades, the number of scientific papers on this topic has increased noticeably. The study of the natural and mineromedicinal waters and the muds, either as preventive elements or as materials with therapeutic and coadjutant activity, has aroused an enormous interest among both lay people and health-care professionals, due to the benefits that it brings for health. The pharmacist plays a relevant role in the knowledge of this type of therapies and its applications. In this paper, we describe the history of this subject and analyze its scientific contents, as well as the importance of being acquainted with its applications within the training of the future pharmacists. 2013-06-24T12:15:22Z 2013-06-24T12:15:22Z 2010 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Fernández-González, M.V.; et al.
