Features of the natural factors of the Piešťany resort
The thermal water of the Piešťany resort is primarily used for the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and is used in treatment in the form of thermal baths, because it has a beneficial effect on joints and muscles directly through the skin. This water contains a large amount of minerals and sulfur, which are very well absorbed into the fiber, cartilage and tendons and thereby favorably affect cartilage tissue. Sulfur also promotes vasodilation and has an antiseptic effect.
Drinking thermal water is also possible, for example, for urological and gastroenterological diseases, but the effect on the body will be minimal. Thermal water will not cause any harm if consumed, even for diseases of the musculoskeletal system, it can be drunk even by children, but the effect on the body will be minimal. Its only advantage in this case is that it reduces the effect on the stomach of medications that the patient takes when treating a disease of the musculoskeletal system.
A unique healing factor that is successfully used in Piešťany hotels for the treatment of patients with diseases of the musculoskeletal system is sulfur mud, which has a good effect on muscles and joints. This mud contains anaerobic bacteria that are not pathogenic to humans.
Chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid and other chemical compounds that these bacteria produce during their metabolism have a beneficial effect on joints, muscles and skin. The suitable temperature for the life of these bacteria is 45-60 degrees.
Studies conducted over several years have shown that the effect of sulfur mud is enhanced when it comes into contact with thermal water. Therefore, before using sulfur mud in procedures, it is usually diluted with thermal water in sanatoriums.
