Water from thermal springs is a real natural miracle: in any weather, hot (+20...+98 °C), saturated with mineral salts and surprisingly clean, it has a beneficial effect on the human body, gives vigor and heals the most serious ailments. Springs originate deep underground, and in order to get outside, water passes through different layers of geological rocks, enriched with useful substances.
The effectiveness of thermal waters was confirmed by legendary healers: Avicenna and Hippocrates treated rheumatism, infertility, inflammation and colds with their help. The most famous balneological resorts of our time are the French Vichy, the British Bath, the Hungarian Szechenyi baths and the Czech Karlovy Vary.

WHAT ARE THERMAL RESORTS AND WHAT THEY ARE
Thermal (geothermal) resorts are located in areas with hot healing springs. Natural groundwater heated up to high temperature and enriched with mineral salts, come out of the wells and fall into thermal complexes: pools, baths, grottoes. On the basis of water, therapeutic mud and cosmetics are created.
Attention: treatment at thermal spas has contraindications, so you need to consult a doctor. The main rule for visiting thermal pools and baths is limited time in the water, because there is a serious load on the lymphatic system and heart, and subsequent rest. Also in thermal parks strictly limited access for children, for children, as a rule, only inhalations and physiotherapy are carried out.
The main directions of treatment most thermal resorts are chronic fatigue, decreased immunity, diseases of the respiratory tract, genitourinary system, circulatory disorders, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, etc.
There is several types of recreation at thermal spas. So, there are hotels where you can restore strength and beauty, and therapeutic procedures can be combined with a visit to a beautician and relaxation areas. Rest here alternates with sightseeing and educational trips, and staying here for 3-5 days quite enough to improve well-being.
There are also resorts that specialize in the treatment of any diseases and hotels located here are combined with clinics. You can even call them more familiar - sanatoriums. Tourists coming for treatment visit a consultant doctor, pass tests and analyses. Staying at such resorts is recommended at least 14 days, because they themselves treatment programs are usually designed for 10-21 days. Inhalations, mud therapy, rehabilitation procedures in thermal pools and a variety of physiotherapy - you can familiarize yourself with the entire list of procedures and prices in advance when booking a tour.
The peak of the season for many thermal European resorts is the spring-summer period, when you can comfortably go on excursions, and for centers located in the mountains, the peak comes in winter. Indeed, after an active day skiing, it is so nice to relax in the pools, relax and gain strength for new exploits.
Public thermal complexes suggest the opportunity to spend almost the whole day in them: the complexes have numerous outdoor and indoor pools with thermal water of different temperatures, saunas, steam rooms, recreation areas, cafes, restaurants and beauty parlors. The ticket price (depending on the resort) will be approximately 10-30 euros with the rental of a personal locker for things.
In small thermal centers attached to hotels first of all, hotel guests are served, here you can paint a set of procedures for the entire rest period and follow their schedule. The course of procedures depends on the direction of treatment.

Thermal springs are one of the truly priceless wonders created by nature itself. Bathing in hot water known as a powerful means of natural healing and relaxation since ancient times.

Thermal water can rightly be called a universal remedy for many diseases, but its use is associated with a number of restrictions and rules, so you should definitely consult a doctor before visiting a balneological resort.
The hot spring is formed due to the steam released by the rising to earth's crust magma. Due to the sudden change in temperature from very high at depth to relatively low at the surface, the steam condenses into water, which in turn escapes. Thus, the bowels of the Earth give people a natural miraculous elixir. It is important to understand the difference between thermal and mineral water. It's not the same as many people think. Natural mineral water and hot spring water have many similar characteristics, but there are some differences. So, in thermal water there are no harmful chemical and industrial impurities that penetrate the soil as a result of human activity, since water condensation occurs in deep layers. Thermal water is more intensely saturated with such useful trace elements as calcium, magnesium, bromine, potassium, manganese, zinc, silicon, sodium, iron, iodine, etc.
People with health problems should choose a thermal spa on the advice of their doctor. For example, hypertensive patients and asthmatics are advised to bathe in springs rich in carbon dioxide. For thyroid problems and nervous system iodine-bromine therms should be chosen. Bathing in sodium chloride springs helps to improve metabolism, restore physical strength, get rid of depression and stress. However, visiting hot springs will be useful for everyone without exception. Bathing will give a powerful boost of immunity and vigor, help get rid of stress, normalize metabolism, solve problems with sleep, etc.

Therefore, you need to prepare for diving into the thermal pool. In particular, 1.5-2 hours before the start of bathing, it is not recommended to eat, a day before - completely eliminate alcohol. You can not dive into the pool up to the neck or head - the heart area should remain above the surface of the water. The time spent in the water in the first 2-3 dives is best kept to a minimum. In general, the duration of the procedure depends on the level of water temperature and general well-being, but should not exceed 15-20 minutes.
