Marienbad is a balneological spa in the west of Bohemia to the southwest of Karlovy Vary, 25 km from the German border. It is situated at the northern tip of the Bohemian Forest, on the southwestern slopes of Slavkovský les (Nightingale Forest), at an altitude of 628 m, in a wide valley protected by the Ore Mountains from north winds and open from the south. The slopes surrounding the mountains are mainly covered with coniferous forests; the spa area has extensive parks. The climate is temperate, with mountain features, with mild winters and mild summers.
The main natural healing factor is the waters of 40 mineral springs, coming to the surface on a relatively small territory; the waters are carbon dioxide (contain up to 2 g/l of carbon dioxide), have a temperature of 8-10 C, characterized by high iron content. Peculiarities of chemical composition of waters of different springs determine indications for their therapeutic application.
The waters of the most famous springs Křížový (Kršížový) and Ferdinandův (Ferdinand) are ferrous sulphate-hydrocarbonate sodium (mineralisation 8.5-11.9 g/l); they are used mainly for drinking treatment of stomach and biliary tract diseases.
The Rudolfów (Rudolf) spring water - Calcium-Magnesium Hydrocarbonate - is one of the most famous mineral waters in Europe with diuretic effect; it is used in the spa, as well as being bottled and widely exported as healing water.
Iron hydro carbonate-sulphate sodium water from the Lesnaya spring is used for drinking treatment and inhalations mainly for diseases of upper respiratory tract, kidneys, and urinary tract. For drinking cures of kidney and urinary tract diseases, the glandular water of the Ambrojouv spring is also used.
Mineral waters of Mariánské Lázně are also widely used for baths. In cases where the patient is contraindicated with carbon dioxide mineral baths, mofettes are used.
Mariánské Lázně traditionally uses mud cures (sulphate-iron peat), hydrotherapy (including massage), electro- and light therapy, terrenkur, therapeutic physical training, etc. The water is also used for therapeutic purposes.
There are resort colonnades over drinking springs, numerous sanatoriums, hotels, apartments, pensions.
In addition to kidney and urinary tract diseases (including those of children), which are the main indications for referral to the spa, there is also the treatment of patients with diseases of the digestive organs, peripheral nervous system, metabolic disorders (including obesity), as well as rehabilitation treatment of trauma.
Efficient treatment of upper respiratory tract diseases (including allergic diseases) is facilitated by the relatively low height of the spa, mild climate and the presence of forests and parks in Mariánské Lázně and its surroundings.
Natural healing resources, medical reasons
The range of indications for treatment with mineral water in Mariánské Lázně is much wider than in other spas. This is primarily due to the chemical composition of Mariánské Lázně mineral springs, which is unique.
The spa resort of Mariánské Lázně (Mariánské Lázně) specialises in the treatment with mineral water of kidney and urinary tract diseases, neuro-muscular disorders, organic diseases of the nervous system, digestive system disorders, metabolism and internal secretion glands, non-specific respiratory diseases, skin diseases and musculoskeletal system disorders.
Holidays in Mariánské Lázně are cheap and respectable!
Mariánské Lázně owes its worldwide fame mainly to the wealth of natural healing springs. More than one hundred mineral springs are known in the surroundings of the town and there are about forty of them in the town itself. All springs belong to the class of cold acidic mineral waters, their temperature is between 7 and 10 degrees Celsius. Significant differences in the chemical composition of the springs allow only drinking courses to treat a number of diseases of various organs. The prescribed amount of water for a drinking course depends on the diagnosis and condition of the patient, usually about 1.5-2 litres per day. Mineral waters are also used for inhalations and mineral baths.
The Mariin pramen source is a powerful source of natural healing CO2 gas, which is used as a gas envelope. This procedure is becoming more and more popular as in addition to lowering blood pressure, improving heart function and blood supply to the lower limbs, patients feel a marked improvement in sexual functions. This healing gas is also used as a subcutaneous injection for diseases of the joints, spine and coronary heart disease.
Peatlands and mud (peloids) are inorganic and organic mixtures, which, after cleaning and heating, are used for compressors and mud wraps. Mud and peatlands always accompany the sources. After the oxidation and cleaning process, the muds are mixed with mineral water and heated over steam to 40 degrees Celsius. The mud wrap procedure usually lasts 20-30 minutes and is recommended for locomotive system diseases, gynecological disorders and respiratory tract diseases. The mud is also used for vaginal swabs in treatment of chronic gynaecological inflammations and sterility in women.
A place in the world where you can relax a great many. Many of them offer, as an option, therapeutic procedures. Massages, yoga, baths, saunas, spa. And they all look like twin brothers. True, one problem is that they don't add to their health, but they make their wallet much easier. It's a wellness "lottery." Such a course of "treatment" can be done without leaving your hometown.
Why do European long-livers (and the average age of German residents is 82), in comparison: we live a little over sixty, go to Baden-Baden, Aaachen, Vishy, Evian, Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně and other mineral water resorts? Let us try to answer this question: Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, science does not know any medications that can dissolve kidney stones. You will be offered the only option - laser crushing with the prospect of going back to this procedure again. The only option for treating gallbladder stones is either laparoscopic removal or a hollow surgery to remove the stones along with the gallbladder. Treatment of the liver is expensive and not safe for other organs. What attracts people to mineral water resorts? The main and priceless, or rather, completely free of charge treatment is the treatment with mineral water. The procedure is very simple and pleasant. Three times before meals you drink 400 grams of mineral water at the spring and then walk for 30-40 minutes, enjoying the beauty of the spa, its fountains and parks. Walking is a must, the mineral water must work. That's actually the whole treatment.
