Thermal water and Thermal mud: treating the body and mind

Thermal water and Thermal mud

Our Thermal Centre is written in the OTP Monitoring Service of the University of Padua for thermal mud checking, improvement, and quality.

Treating the body and mind with thermal water and thermal mud

A 30-year-long journey that makes it precious and unique: our thermal water comes from the Lessini Mountains, in the Veneto Pre-Alps. Here it descends as many as almost 3,000 metres deep into the subsoil in the form of rainwater, and on its long journey towards the Euganean area, where it gushes out at a temperature of 87°C, it is enriched with mineral salts and trace elements that make it unique in the world.

Our thermal structure uses “Mature Mud” certified by the University of Padua.Mud is the typical curative element of our thermal complex, and it is made of a solid clay-like component, a liquid component (salted-bromide-iodic hypothermal water) and an organic one (algae, protozoan, etc…).

For the mud to become an actual medicine, it needs to “mature” inside special tanks, being in direct and constant contact with thermal water, sunshine rays and air. Only mature mud has clinical, physical, biological and, therefore, therapeutic characteristics that make it the most suitable means for an anti-inflammatory, pain-killing, muscle relaxing and revitalizing therapy.

Euganean Thermalism

In these few, but essential, points, we will explain why mud is good …

Health

Micro-algae present in mature mud produce a series of compounds that have an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, and so are particularly effective in osteoarticular diseases, such as arthrosis.
Mud stimulates the system, triggering beneficial metabolic reactions.
The heat absorbed by the body during the session causes sweating; therefore a course of treatments induces a phase of system purification.
That same heat has an important muscle relaxing effect and helps to loosen and relax the body.
DOC mature mud has been recognised as a natural medicine, with no side effect.
The real well-being derived from a course of mud-balneotherapy is carried home, after the holiday: you will feel the benefits for the following 6-12 months. This is why those who discover the Abano Terme mud baths return to our hotel year after year for a course of treatments.

Beauty

Due to the composition of thermal mud, a hot compress on the skin produces a scrub effect, leaving the skin smooth and shiny.
Mud is also an excellent remedy for rebalancing oily skin. Conveniently filtered, it is used for purifying masks.

Mind

Mud-balneotherapy simulates the production of endorphins (responsible for good humour), of cortisol (the natural cortisone produced by the body), of adrenal hormones, in other words the substances that stimulate affection.
A course of mud and thermal baths brings about progressive psychophysical relaxation.
