Etymology

The term 'sanatorium' derives from the Latin word 'sanare', meaning 'to heal' or 'to cure'. It was first used in the 18th century, particularly in relation to facilities aimed at the treatment of tuberculosis, which was a widespread public health issue at the time. The concept gained popularity in the 19th century as physicians recognized the benefits of fresh air, nutrition, and rest in the treatment of chronic illnesses. Sanatoria became common in Europe and later across the world, providing a dedicated space for individuals to recuperate under medical supervision. As medical practices evolved and public health improved, the role of traditional sanatoria decreased, though they remain significant in certain regions, particularly where nature and tranquility are utilized for healing purposes.
