Abstract

Doctor Apolinary Tarnawski (1851–1943) was undoubtedly the precursor of modern natural
medicine, preventive medicine, and geriatric physiotherapy in Poland. Based on the experience
gained from foreign scientific travel, own knowledge and experience, he developed an
original method that he successfully used in his own clinic in Kosów. His assumptions proved
to be timeless, and despite the passage of many years have not lost their relevance
