Hippocrates, father of medicine, was the first to proclaim: Nature is the physician of our diseases. In fact, Mother Nature has been especially bountiful towards Hungary: the country sits on one of the richest geothermal and medicinal water resources anywhere in the world. The local culture of bathing goes back two thousand years; excavated remains of bath houses, frescoes and mosaics demonstrate that the Romans discovered and exploited these thermal water resources.
Of the approximately 1300 thermal springs currently registered, nearly 300 are used for bathing purposes and no fewer than one in every ten, which means about 130 mineral and medicinal water springs, are located in the capital, Budapest! What is the difference between mineral and medicinal water? Medicinal water is a kind of mineral water with medically proven therapeutic, healing effects. Most medicinal waters in Hungary are effective in the treatment of locomotor disorders, but there are some which are particularly efficacious in the treatment of gynaecological and dermatological disorders, and - as part of a drinking cure- renal and metabolic conditions as well as stomach complaints.
Due to the powerful effects of medicinal (thermo-mineral) waters, there are some so-called general contradictions, in the presence of which medicinal water treatment is not advised. These contradictions are general, applying alike to all medicinal baths. So medicinal bath treatments are not recommended if you suffer from any of the following conditions: pyretic conditions (fever), tuberculosis, hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure not responsive to medication, chronic high blood pressure, acute phlebitis, anaemia, post-myocardial infarction condition (for 6 months following the heart attack), infectious diseases, heart and circulatory disorders, epilepsy, mental illness, incapacity, incontinence and malignant tumours. Medicinal water is also contra-indicated during pregnancy.
Experienced doctors and fully trained assistants oversee the treatment of guests attending medicinal baths and staying in sanatoriums, spa and wellness hotels. Before prescribing personalised courses of treatment and special cure packages, doctors carry out a general health check.
Cave cures are recommended for those with respiratory problems. The therapeutic effect derives from the crystal-clear air and relatively high humidity to be found in many caves. Jósvafő Cave is located in Aggtelek National Park and is listed as a World Heritage site.
The mofette (a vent in the earths crust) in northern Hungary is a truly unusual feature in the field of medical science. This so-called dry bath employs naturally occurring carbon dioxide of volcanic origin and is recommended for the treatment of heart conditions and circulatory disorders, blood pressure irregularities, dermatological complaints, after-care and recreation.
Around the world, ever more people are coming to realise that a healthy lifestyle has an enormous role to play in disease prevention and the creation of general sense of well- being. There is an equal understanding of the fact that natural methods of treatment are able to promote healing without side effects.
