  • What is treated in Karlovy Vary

    The tradition of the Karlovy Vary spa treatment is founded on the unique and rare natural resource - mineral water, the healing effects of which have been proven by centuries of practical experience.

    The quality of mineral water has remained unchanged for centuries. The local mineral springs contain most elements of the periodic table and more than 40 elements vital for the human body are analysed on a general basis.

    The Karlovy Vary mineral water is formed at depths of around 2,500 metres below the Earth's surface. It is accessible to the public by means of 15 springs that differ in their temperature and dissolved carbon dioxide content. Depending on the differences in temperature and gas levels, the springs also differ in their curative effects.

    Apart from having a positive effect on the entire digestive and locomotor system, the drinking cure aids in the purification of the organism.

    What Is the Drinking Cure?

    Drinking mineral water is the most important part of the Karlovy Vary spa treatment. You should therefore pay adequate attention to it. Observe the drinking cure prescribed by your spa physician in terms of the specific mineral spring, consumed quantity and drinking times. The drinking cure is primarily prescribed before meals. You should use the 200g (200ml) cups and drink the mineral water for 3 to 10 minutes. A 5 to 10-minute break is recommended between individual cups.
