Mode of action
The thermal water of Bad Bellingen is suitable not only for baths and inhalations but also for mineral water cures and has many positive effects.
What makes our thermal water so special:
Warmth of the water = thermal stimulus
34 - 36°: ideal temperature for a relaxation of the muscles |
The warmth raises the pain threshold. |
Movements which cause pain outside of water can be made without or with far less pain. |
Hydro-mechanical effect = “buoyant force” of the body
In water a body seems to lose more than 9/10 of its weight - as much as the water it displaces. The high mineral content of the thermal water in Bad Bellingen reinforces this buoyant force. |
Movements can thus be made with far less muscle power and thus more often as in a dry environment. |
Buoyancy stabilizes your upright body posture and thus relieves and/or relaxes those muscle groups which are required for this posture. |
High content of sodium chloride
improves the blood flow, creates a feeling of warmth on the skin |
High content of calcium and high content of hydrogen carbonate
local anti-inflammatory effect |
High content of sulphate
favourable impact on joint inflammations and degenerative joint diseases |
High content of carbon dioxide
beneficial effect on the heart |
recommendable in case of cardiovascular problems |
lowering effect on blood pressure |
“training effect” on the regulation of peripheral blood vessels = mild heart training therapy |
