This week is World Water Day and we are still with the element that makes life possible on our planet. Our bodies are made up of about 65% water. The earth's surface is 70% wetter than we are. Men realized early on that part of that water has special medicinal properties. In Greek antiquity, people already controlled mineral springs for their well-being and against ailments. The healing mineral water helps against all kinds of complaints such as fatigue, joint problems, muscle cramps, skin complaints, inflammation, digestive ailments or lower complaints. At those resortswe highlight for you here, you can immerse yourself in these healing mineral springs. And nourish your body with beneficial spa programs based on healing water.

What to expect from a Health Resort with thermal springs?

Hot springs can be a great way to relax, unwind and improve your health. Hot springs are natural bodies of water that are heated by geothermal activity. They are known for their healing properties and have been used for therapeutic purposes for centuries. Here are some of the ways that hot springs may have healing powers:

  • Relaxation: The warm water and peaceful surroundings of a hot spring can promote relaxation and reduce stress levels, which can have a positive impact on mental and physical health. 
  • Pain relief: Hot springs contain minerals such as sulfur, magnesium, and calcium, which are known for their pain-relieving properties. Soaking in hot springs can help to alleviate muscle and joint pain, as well as reduce inflammation. 
  • Improved circulation: The heat from hot springs can improve blood flow and oxygenation, which can help to promote healing and reduce inflammation. 
  • Skin health: The minerals found in hot springs can also be beneficial for the skin. Soaking in hot springs can help to exfoliate the skin, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin health. 
  • Detoxification: Hot springs can help to flush toxins from the body by opening up the pores and promoting sweating.
