Italy
has a centuries old tradition of therapeutic spas that cater to
the wellness of the entire body. It's thermal and mineral
springs are world renowned for their restorative and
rejuvenating powers going back to medieval days. The healing
waters contain a variety of highly concentrated minerals which
are used to bring about either a cure or the lessening of
severity for conditions such conditions as, skin problems, joint
problems, gout, arthritis, vascular difficulties, respiratory
ailments, and metabolic disorders.
These
waters are used in balneotherapy, hydrotherapy, inhalation or as
a drinking cure for intestinal problems. The content of the
water determines it's use. For this reason it is very important
to know which spa treats which need, i.e. calcium dense water
would have a different effect than an iron rich water.
Italy
is also famous for it's fango mud which is widely used
for muscle and joint aches and pains and especially for
rheumatism and arthritis. This special mud is the result of the
chemical composition provided by Italy's volcano's. The
mud is then blended with the mineral water of the specific spa
and left to mature for a period of up to 18 months which then
results in a third synergy intensifying it's effect and bringing
about the desired result. Since therapeutic programs are so
specific we provide very personal consultation as to which
spa would best serve your purposes.
