The tradition of spa treatment in Karlovy Vary can look back on more than six centuries, and for centuries people have been able to cure their ailments with the miraculous properties of the mineral water that rises from the bowels of the earth to the surface.
Warmed by the inner warmth of the earth, the Karlovy Vary mineral waters are a gift that nature presents to people. The Czechs who founded the resort town trusted their intuition and accepted this gift. Today, thanks to innovative technologies, scientists have managed to solve the riddle of mineral water, exactly determining its composition:
- carbon dioxide-sulfate-sodium and sodium chloride water with calcium, potassium, iron, lithium and bromine compounds – a total of more than 50 valuable trace elements and useful substances,
- each liter of water contains 7 grams of important salts.
The course of treatment significantly improves the well-being of patients, reduces fatigue, normalizes sleep, improves appetite.
Springs of Karlovy Vary mineral waters
In total, there are 13 springs that have been mastered so far, but in fact there are much more of them. Scientists have found out that the water rises to the surface from one and the same underground lake, which is why its chemical composition practically does not vary from spring to spring. However, on its way to the surface, the water overcomes different obstacles and, as a result, its temperature (from 30 °C to 75 °C) and the concentration of carbon dioxide change.
Depending on the illness and health condition of the patient, the doctor selects a particular spring.
Hot springs are suitable for people with high stomach acidity and those with irritable bowel syndrome.
Lower temperature springs are recommended for people with a lower level of acidity and those who suffer from constipation.
