BENEFITS OF THERMAL WATER

Healing Thermal Water (Spa Water)

Healing thermal water, also known as spa water, is widely used in complementary medicine. Among its many benefits, thermal water is most renowned for its therapeutic effects on conditions such as rheumatic, orthopedic, and skin diseases.

Benefits of Thermal Water

Thermal water offers a variety of health benefits, including:

Alleviating rheumatic disorders.
Playing a crucial role in treating orthopedic conditions.
Providing relief for neurological disorders.
Effectively addressing certain skin diseases.
Reducing muscle pain.
Supporting the body against calcification.
Being beneficial for skin health.
Assisting in the treatment of respiratory system diseases.

Effects on Rheumatic Disorders

Chronic rheumatic diseases significantly reduce patients' quality of life, often causing movement restrictions and pain. Thermal water therapy is an essential method for alleviating these symptoms, improving daily life and comfort for those with chronic rheumatism. Regular therapeutic baths under medical supervision have shown remarkable pain relief and improved mobility. Thermal water is particularly effective in managing:

Rheumatoid arthritis.
Ankylosing spondylitis and other chronic back pain.
Osteoarthritis and non-inflammatory joint diseases.
Soft tissue conditions like myositis, tendinitis, trauma, and fibromyalgia syndrome.

Role in Orthopedic Conditions

Thermal water is highly effective in treating orthopedic issues. It is often used in rehabilitation after orthopedic or skeletal surgeries, injuries, joint stiffness, and muscle rigidity. Benefits include:

Faster healing of fractures.
Recovery of functional impairments post-surgery or injury.
Supporting mobility in cases of prolonged immobility due to brain and nerve surgeries.

Benefits for Neurological Disorders

The calming and soothing effects of thermal water make it highly beneficial for neurological conditions such as:

Cerebral palsy (spastic).
Polio.
Stroke rehabilitation.
Mental fatigue and psychological stress.

Thermal therapy under expert supervision ensures better rehabilitation outcomes.

Treatment for Skin Diseases

Hyperthermal waters (40-42ºC) have significant effects on the skin due to physical-chemical changes they induce through absorption and accumulation. Benefits include:

Enhanced superficial blood circulation.
Improved hair structure, leading to shinier and healthier hair.
Revitalized and youthful skin.
Slowing biological aging, promoting overall healthier living.

Cerebral Vascular Diseases

Thermal water is highly effective in the rehabilitation of stroke (hemiplegia) and paralysis (paraplegia) cases. It also helps relieve stress-related conditions and general stress disorders, especially when integrated with massage and other wellness applications.

Nephrological Disorders

Thermal water positively impacts the urinary and excretory systems, particularly the kidneys. Its molecule-rich structure promotes:

Increased blood filtration by the kidneys.
Enhanced detoxification processes.
Relief from conditions like kidney stones, bladder infections (cystitis), and urinary tract diseases.

Effects on Inflammation

Thermal water alleviates conditions associated with inflammation, such as:

Neural inflammation (neuralgia).
Tendon inflammation (tendinitis).
Joint membrane inflammation (periarthritis).

Calcification, Muscle Pain, and Sciatica

Thermal water is highly effective in treating calcification (osteoarthritis) and its variants, such as:

Joint calcification (arthrosis).
Spinal calcification (spondylitis).

Additionally, it alleviates muscle pain (myalgia) and sciatica symptoms.

Respiratory System Diseases

Thermal water helps treat respiratory conditions, including:

Asthma (bronchial asthma).
Chronic bronchitis.
Allergic upper respiratory diseases.
Lung diseases caused by prolonged exposure to dust or chemicals.

Duration of Stay in Thermal Water

The recommended duration in thermal water is 15-20 minutes. This period allows the body to benefit from its healing properties while avoiding risks like overheating or low blood pressure. Longer durations can be achieved with breaks. If you have underlying health issues, consult your doctor.
