Healing effects of the springs in Turčianske Teplice
The thermal healing mineral water helps improve circulation of the blood and lymphatic system. The water pressure acts as a bandage, which facilitates exercise and movement in water.
An important physical effect of the thermal healing mineral water is the reaction of the organism. The primary response to this stimulus is an increase of the surface temperature of the body. The secondary reaction involves the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, and endocrine systems, as well as the immune system. Also important is the chemical effect of the mineral water, when minerals enter into the skin and then deeper into the body tissues during and after the bath. Such a bath also reduces blood pressure and acts on the expansion of the vessels. Overall, the bath has a relaxing and soothing effect. The temperature of the mineral bath is usually 34-38°C (exceptionally up to 40°C).
