The water

The thermal water is calcium-, iron-, magnesium- and sulphur-bearing and rises from the source at about 37 °C, with pools warmed to as much as 40 °C. As a certified medicinal water it is applied to a range of complaints the venue lists, including degenerative changes of the spine and vertebral joints, disc problems and postural issues; recovery after fractures, injuries and orthopaedic operations; high and low blood pressure and autonomic dysregulation; paralysis after accidents and states following stroke; chronic gynaecological inflammation and adhesions; and general aims such as stimulating metabolism and easing stress-related and age-related conditions.
