Hungary is very rich in healing thermal waters. About half a million cubic meters of thermal water rushes up every day from natural springs and drilled wells throughout the country. Their Medicinal waters are used in two basic ways:  for bathing and as a drinking cure. The 'Drinking Cure' means to drink the mineral waters for their curative effects and are excellent for gastro-intestinal, dietary purposes, etc.
    Bathing for medical purposes has a millennial past in Europe. Bathing had different and various functions among ancient peoples. Hippocrates examined the utilization of medicinal waters for treatment. Several of his conclusions are still valid today. A new prospering era of balneology - the science of medicinal waters - together with hydro- therapy - water cure - started in the 19th century. The aspects of hydrotherapy have changed significantly during the last few decades. Today’s treatments are not restricted to using medicinal waters only. A contemporary “spa physician” is a rheumatologist, internist or gynecologist with a wide range of knowledge. A complex therapy including the use of medicinal waters, physical exercises, massages, electrotherapy and diet plan shows better and quicker results.
