During winter, thermal spas provide an ideal retreat to counter the cold and promote physical and mental well-being. The therapeutic properties of spa treatments are particularly effective in enhancing quality of life, especially in the colder months. The waters and mud of Abano and Montegrotto spas are unique due to their special origin and composition.
A Journey to the source of natural well-being
The thermal water of the Euganean Basin is a gift of nature, the result of an incredible underground journey. Originating from the pristine basins of the Lessini Mountains, it travels approximately 80 kilometers through limestone rocks, reaching a depth of 3,000 meters and enriching itself with valuable minerals. When it resurfaces at 87°C in our spa facilities, it becomes a unique resource in the world.
The power of mature thermal mud
At Montegrotto and Abano Terme, thermal mud is an essential ally against inflammation, joint, and muscle pain. After a natural “maturation” of at least 60 days in 38°C thermal water, it develops an extraordinary organic biofilm with powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
Mud therapy: a natural ally for prevention and joint pain relief
Thermal mud therapy is recognized for its benefits in treating and preventing rheumatic and arthritic diseases. The application of mature thermal mud helps relieve pain symptoms quickly, providing months of relief. It also stimulates the production of hormonal substances with healing effects on osteoarthritis, fractures, and rheumatism. This natural treatment is also recommended for osteoporosis sufferers, helping reduce medication intake and improving overall health.
New discoveries: anti-inflammatory molecules in thermal mud
Recent studies have identified new anti-inflammatory molecules in the thermal mud of Abano and Montegrotto Terme. These molecules modulate the expression of specific pro-inflammatory genes, offering an effectiveness comparable to commonly used medications for chronic inflammation. This discovery further supports the validity of spa therapies in treating various inflammatory conditions.
Ozone therapy in thermal water: oxygenation and skin beauty
Thermal ozone therapy combines ozone hydromassage with balneotherapy, enhancing the benefits of both. Ozone bubbles stimulate blood circulation, improving tissue oxygenation and providing a vasodilatory effect. This treatment is particularly effective in reducing cellulite, breaking down fat deposits, and improving microcirculation. Additionally, ozone therapy has anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, and pain-relieving properties, contributing to overall well-being without the use of medication.
Mud therapy: a ritual of health
Here are the steps for an effective and long-lasting mud therapy cycle:

Conclusion
Thermal treatments provide numerous benefits for winter wellness, helping to combat seasonal ailments and promote physical and mental health. Whether preventing or relieving joint pain, reducing inflammation, or improving skin appearance, thermal spas offer a natural and effective way to take care of yourself during winter.
