Healing sulfur water – the treasure of Trenčianske Teplice
The thermal sulfur water in Kúpele Trenčianske Teplice is a natural treasure with exceptional healing effects. It springs from six natural springs at a temperature of 38.4 °C to 40 °C and is used for external and internal balneotherapy.
All springs have a similar chemical composition, the difference between them is mainly in the temperature. The water intended for swimming pools and bath procedures has an optimal balneological temperature of 35.5 °C to 39 °C, thanks to which it does not need to be additionally heated or cooled. This natural temperature range is extremely important – it allows the preservation of the precious gas sulfur , which is a carrier of significant therapeutic effects. With any heating, cooling or transportation, sulfur would escape from the water into the air.
The mirror – a pool located directly above the spring – represents a unique way of applying healing water. Other spa areas, including bath baths, are also situated in the immediate vicinity of the springs in order to maintain the highest possible concentrations of active substances directly during application. It is thanks to this exceptional location and careful approach to the natural source that the sulfur water bath in Trenčianske Teplice has such a strong healing effect.
A sulfur thermal bath in a pool or bathtub is an integral part of every treatment stay at our spa – it combines the power of nature, tradition and an effective form of regeneration.
Reflex changes, which are an objective manifestation of pain in musculoskeletal diseases, are characterized by poorer blood supply through narrowed capillaries. Sulfan passes through the skin into the body, where it dilates these capillaries.
Research has also clearly proven the overall analgesic effect of sulfur, which increases not only during the bath, but also after it ends. Sulfur continues to be absorbed from the skin after spa treatments , so we do not recommend that spa guests shower immediately after the bath.
The history of spa treatment in Trenčianske Teplice is, among other things, also the history of non-pharmacological pain treatment. Sulphate, calcium-magnesium sulphur water also flowed into a specially prepared pit in which sick horses were bathed. The age of this water has been determined by research to be 20,000 – 23,000 years , which is a guarantee of its ecological purity .
