When planning to get medical treatment, many travelers pay attention to health tours to the Czech Republic: the medical resorts of this country are never empty, and all thanks to forests, lakes, magnificent landscapes, as well as the balneological properties of Czech baths.
Features of a wellness holiday in the Czech Republic
Czech spas specialize in specific diseases. Thus, gynecological diseases are best treated in Marianske and Františkovy Lazne, mental disorders in Lázně Libverda and Jeseník, skin diseases in Janske Lazne and Darkov. If we talk about children's resorts, then the children who have problems with the respiratory and urinary tract, metabolism and kidneys will be waiting for treatment in Bludov.
Among the main methods of treatment in Czech spas, not only natural methods of healing are used (mud, climate, water, natural gas), but also oriental practices (yoga, massage).
Popular health resorts in the Czech Republic
- Karlovy Vary: 13 springs (out of 79) of the same chemical composition, but different temperatures are widely used in treatment (the main purpose is drinking, combined with slow walking). The spa doctor assigns each patient an individual treatment program based on the results of the examination (it is advisable to have an extract from the medical history), the duration of which is on average 7-28 days. Vacationers can stay in the sanatorium "Krivan", located next to the Sadovaya and Mill colonnades (drinking mineral springs). The sanatorium has a treatment center and a pool with thermal water.
- Frantiskovy Lazne: since the main specialization of the resort is gynecological diseases, there is a belief that women with childbirth difficulties should touch the bronze sculpture of the boy Františkov in order to become a mother in the near future. Frantiskovy Lazne is famous for over 20 springs of mineral water (high content of carbon dioxide) - they are added to baths and used inside. In addition, sulfuric mud in the form of applications and baths, and dry gas in the form of gas injections help to achieve a good therapeutic effect. A good choice for tourists can be “Goethe” - for their recovery, procedures are used in the form of gas injections, hydrotherapy, oxygen therapy, electrotherapy and magnetotherapy.
- Marianske Lazne: The healing water of the spa belongs to natural acidic springs (temperature + 7-10˚C), and their different chemical composition allows you to cure a different spectrum of diseases. So, for the treatment of the digestive organs, water from the source of Ferdinand is used, urological diseases - the source of Carolina, anemia - the source of Ambroz. In Marianske Lazne, the “Grand Hotel Pacifik” deserves attention - it is equipped with its own treatment center and a swimming pool (there are massage jets), and the Forest Spring overlooks the foyer.
