Ceglédi Gyógyfürdő és Szabadidőközpont

The Ceglédi Gyógyfürdő és Szabadidőközpont lies at Fürdő út 27-29 in Cegléd, postcode 2700, in Pest county, and is run by Ceglédi Termálfürdő Üzemeltető Kft. The operator states that the basis of the bath is thermal water rising from a depth of more than 1000 metres at 54 °C, declared medicinal water in 2004. It is classed with the sodium-chloride-hydrogen-carbonate and fluoride and iodide medicinal waters and the operator says it suits locomotor, rheumatic, digestive and dermatological conditions and the rehabilitation of nerve pathways, with the stimulus of bathing cures also activating the immune defences. The published analysis gives, in mg/l, potassium 4, sodium 590, ammonium 7.2, calcium 6.3, magnesium 1, iron 0.12 and lithium 0.04 for a cation sum of 609; chloride 400, bromide 1.11, iodide 1, fluoride 1.15, hydrogen carbonate 980, sulphide 0.4 and total phosphate 0.39 for an anion sum of 1384; and metaboric acid 14, metasilicic acid 36 and free carbonic acid 20.9, for a total of 2064 mg/l.

Treatments supported by the national health insurer are offered alongside exercise classes, therapies and group therapeutic swimming for under-18s, with appointments through a medical dispatcher on weekdays 8:00 to 16:00.
