Thermal spas health benefits



'Sound body,sound mind'

More than just a lovely warm and relaxing experience.

At a thermal spa you are being treated at the same time,
both inside and out,both physically and mentally.

It's one of natures wonder drugs,in that you will feel a' natural high'.Along with a sense
of well-being,being completely relaxed like you've never felt before and re-energized.
It will help to alleviate the modern stresses and strains.Help to turn off the constant
noise and chatter in your head.There's nothing better than just sitting in the lovely silky
warm water,letting your mind drift off into its own world.Away from all your everyday
pressures and problems.

Detox yourself from all the excesses of our modern lifestyle,whatever it may be.

Aids in relaxing muscles,easing aches and pains,relieving strained muscles and torn ligaments.

In Hungary,Thermal spas are a part of the post-operative care.In rehabilitating you back
to health after surgery.Also for sportspeople with their sports injuries.

You could be recommended a course of treatment for these following ailments and more.With
sometimes specific spas for specific problems:

  • Skin disorders
  • Joint,bone and spinal problems
  • Arthritis
  • Rheumatism
  • Allergies

Even if just to ease the pain naturally,with no scary side effects as with taking drugs.

A very brief History

Hippocrates
The father of modern science stated,'cures effected by water are one of the basis of
medicine','water is still,after all,the best'.

Even longer ago than that in antiquity.Natural springs were revered with a respect normally
given to holy sites.Bathing with religious practices was first seen in a valley beside the Hindus.The most ancient evidence of a bathing culture some 5000 years old.

During the Roman empire throughout Europe.The Romans built baths at these natural
springs.With one of the purposes being for the battle weary Roman soldiers to recuperate
and sooth their aching bodies and even to help heal wounds.

So imagine what it could do for you!

Spas are not just for women and pampering


Hungarian thermal spas

Public spas

In Hungary everyone goes to to the spa.All the family,men and women.All ages from toddlers
through teenagers to pensioners.

It's a great way to relax,recuperate but more importantly for pleasure and to socialize.

It's very cheap,say around £4.Pay that and you can stay for the whole day.

Hungary enjoys long hot summers from may to September.Even out of these times,there's
plenty of sunshine.In fact it's great in winter lounging in the lovely warm water while
there's snow on the ground.

Laze,sunbathe and picnic on the grassy park areas.

Relax further by sinking into the thermal water.There are normally a variety of pools of
differing temperatures.Both inside and outside.

Thermal water is very beneficial for a variety of ailments.Including joint problems,skin
disorders,sports injuries,post operative care and helping to relieve a range of all manner
of aches and pains.My wife's back is never better than after a trip to a spa.A perfect
antidote to the English cold,wet and windy weather.

Also great for a hangover by the way!

Have a good swim in the large swimming pools.Sometimes these are also thermal warm,at
others not(so a little bit cooler).There's often pools inside and outside,of which you can
normally swim between.

Continue rejuvenating by indulging in the saunas and icy cold plunge pools.

All of this is accomplished during a relaxed pace during the course of the day.Not all at
once,but mixing it all up.Also interspersed with strolling(posing) around,going for a drink
(maybe a coffee,wine or even an ice cold beer),or some good hearty food.Naturally great for
people watching,meeting friends or indeed making new ones.

There's also professional and medical facilities for massage,pampering and so on.

After a refreshing day,recharging the batteries.Leaving on a natural high with a refreshed
clear mind.All ready for the evening and life again.
