Crenotherapy
Balneotherapy
Hot baths are taken on a fast in a pool or in a natural spring pool, at 35/37°C, starting from 10 minutes, up until 30-40 minutes after some days. After bathing, friction or massage is recommended;
Mud
Direct full or partial application on an empty stomach, with mud at 40/47°C for 10/40 minutes, followed by bath, shower, friction or massage, and reaction;
Sprays
The sprays are carried out collectively in a room where the dispensing apparatus is placed at the centre. The mist is obtained with droplets of some microns, up to 50-60 microns, thus achieving a deeper penetration into the respiratory system.
Flowing water aerosols
It is carried out with pispers that produce 1 and 2 micron particles, thus obtaining a penetration into the pulmonary alveolus. The aerosol is carried out at a temperature of 28-30 °C and lasts 10 minutes.
Spray
The spray is the conclusion of a complete thermal inhalation cure. In this type of collective treatment, the thermal water is introduced in the form of a dense, moist mist consisting of countless minute drops of fluoric sodium bicarbonate thermal mineral water, suspended in a common saturated environment, where the patient will remain for the duration of the application. The thermal water with its mineral salts penetrates in the entire respiratory system (upper, middle and lower) and restores, at the end of the complete cycle of inhalation treatments, the best conditions of surface moisture of the mucous membranes of the various districts.
Indicated in case of chronic pathologies of the upper, middle and lower airways, including therefore simple chronic bronchitis and obstructive chronic bronchitis.
In general, the duration of the treatment progressively increases: from 10 minutes on the first day up to 30 minutes, increasing by 5 minutes of stay each day.
Vaginal irrigations
With 1-2 litres at a pressure of about 70 cm. and at a temperature of 36-38 °C for about 12/15 days and three consecutive years.
Access to the thermal baths
