Today, even from remote corners of our planet, tourists come to Hévíz. All this is due to the unique healing properties of the lake. Mineral waters and peat from the bottom of Lake Hévíz exchange the elements they contain. The area is considered unique also due to the fact that the thermal spring has a peat bottom.
The water from the lake absorbs peat elements such as humic acids, terpenes, steranes, and the mud is filled with minerals from the hot spring. The therapeutic properties of the healing mineral spring are truly unique.
The neutral water in the lake will not lead to contraction and dilation of blood vessels. Due to the content of hydrogen sulfide and radon gases in the air, immunity is improved and cell regeneration takes place. Taking water procedures is very comfortable due to the optimal hydrostatic pressure of the water.
If you want to combine water and hardening procedures, you should come to Hévíz in winter. Even in the coldest months, the water temperature in the lake does not drop below +26°C. This fact allows you to first recover in the open bathing area and then warm up thoroughly in the closed one.
The intense winter evaporation turns the surface of the water into a huge inhaler. Concentrating vapors form a "fog cap" over the water. Locals call the lake "smoking" at this time. It is even possible to conduct water procedures for children in such a lake.
Only pregnant women, asthmatics, people with severe heart diseases and those with malignant tumors on the body are not allowed to take water treatment in the mineral spring. Regular visits to the thermae are recommended in case of damage to the musculoskeletal apparatus, spinal and joint diseases, osteoporosis, rheumatic diseases, nervous system disorders, dermatitis and as a post-operative rehabilitation.
The process of recovery in a hot mineral spring brings almost immediate noticeable relief. Even after several months, there is no relapse of the disease. Contrasting water procedures are used not only for treatment, but also as prevention of various diseases and relaxation, so fans of a healthy lifestyle come here regularly.
