Mineral Drinking Cure (for all who are interested in)
Drinking medicinal mineral water is an important part of every spa stay. The rich mineral waters gently regulate the functioning of the stomach, bowels, kidneys and liver. A drinking treatment normally consists of drinking a prescribed amount of the mineral before meals as drinking on an empty stomach increases the efficiency and effect of the mineral substances and their absorption into the body. Generally it is advised to drink between 1 and 2 decilitres before meals. Our Health Spa Resort of Marienbad was built around the healing effects of its medicinal drinking springs, world famous for its curative effects on kidney and urinary tract conditions. There are seven different mineral water springs in Marienbad, each with their own particular benefits and healing mineral components. Because of this, combined with the importance of embarking upon the correct drinking regime, your spa doctor will advise you on which spring will best benefit your health condition. In Marienbad you will normally be prescribed to drink from between 1 to 2 litres per day.
Paraffin Wraps on Hands (for all who are interested in) - 25 min
This treatment uses the healing properties of paraffin. The paraffin (at a temperature of approximately 55 °C) creates an occlusive layer on the hands surface. Then the hands or feet are wrapped in foils and terry gloves to maintain the optimum temperature for the duration of the treatment. This treatment helps to relieve joint stiffness, chronic pain, and promotes healing and tissue maintenance. At the same time it has sedative and immune-biological effects.
Mineral Bath - 45 min
This is a signature treatment, exclusively provided in the spa resort of Marienbad using the natural local mineral waters and natural CO2 gas that naturally seeps out from the ground. The water is heated to a temperature of between 28 - 34 °C in an individual bathtub, into which is pumped the natural CO2 gas that fizzes onto the skin, producing a relaxing, tickling sensation. The carbon dioxide is absorbed through the skin into the body, where slows down the heart activity and reduces the blood pressure. Several treatments will result in improved blood circulation, heart and kidney activity as well as reduced stress and anxiety.
Natural Dry Carbon Dioxide Bath - 25 min
This is another signature treatment of the spa resort of Marienbad where the gas - ‘Marie’s gas’ - that bubbles naturally out of the ground is used for the treatment. This gas is of volcanic origin and contains 99.7 % CO2. During the treatment you lie fully clothed, comfortably on a bed enclosed in a large plastic bag that is sealed just under the arms. The gas is then pumped into the bag, which slowly inflates, where it is absorbed through the clothes and skin into the body where it slows down heart activity and reduces blood pressure. The gas also improves blood circulation and kidney activity and has an anti-inflammatory effect. The gas is also known to stimulate the production of the sexual hormones, testosterone and estradiol, which is why it is successful for the improvement of sexual functions and to relieve menopausal symptoms in women.
Maria's dry carbonated pool with oxygen therapy - 30 min
During this treatment we use an original pool, where guests sit up to their waist in a natural gas CO2, gained directly from Maria’s spring. The treatment is combined with oxygen therapy and the accompanying relaxation effects. The traditional treatment procedure dates back to 1905.
The treatment improves the blood circulation within the whole body, improves the saturation of haemoglobin by oxygen, which helps to regenerate cells and thereby reducing aging (anti-aging effect). We recommend to use safety belts and after the treatment to have some rest on a lounger.
