Karlovy Vary warm springs have a temperature between 30 to 70 degrees Celsius, contain most elements of the periodic table and have already been used for curative purposes for centuries.
Other natural curative sources are mineral waters, gasses, bogs, peat, and mud (called peloids). Karlovy Vary medical facilities use peloids for wraps and also for baths with peloids infusion. They stimulate the thermoregulatory mechanisms of a body, improve the sensitivity of cells to oxygen and other active substances, have beneficial immunology and analgesic effects and help to soften ligaments. The treatments are also completed with aqua therapy, reflex and underwater massages, and other physical therapy from artificial sources - warmth, light, sound, electropathy, and others.
