In the embrace of thermomineral waters

The soothing thermomineral waters are used in the numerous Lotus Terme pools where everybody can find relaxation according to their own specific needs (main swimming pool, two whirlpools, children’s pool and Kneipp bath). The effects of the thermomineral water will be especially appreciated by those who suffer from painful joints and spine and from rheumatic diseases. Thermomineral water is indicated not only for healing purposes but can also be used (at temperatures from 29 to 36° C) for sports and recreation. It has analgesic (pain – killing) effects, it relaxes and helps blood circulation, and it soothes tired muscles, joints and ligaments.

Additional relaxation can be enjoyed at the Lotus Terme in both the Finnish and Turkish saunas and in a tepidarium complete with a resting area.

Balneochemical analysis: sodium hydrogen carbonate sulphate chloride thermal-mineral hypertherma (Institute of Public Health Maribor, Institute of Environmental Protection Maribor) contains:

Based on the study and expert literature about these kinds of waters (Prof. dr. Janez Krašovec, Ph.D., balneologist) the balneological applicability of thermomineral water is at:

• chronic degenerative diseases of the spinal column, extremities and joints,
• vertebrogenic pain, induration of joints, neuralgias artrosys, spondiloartritis, ankylosante spondylitis (Mb Bechterew),
• conditions after injuries and operations of extremities and joints (due to inactivity)
• continuation of rehabilitation after a treatment in a health resort, 
• reflex dystrophy, muscle laxity due to inactivity,
• prevention of osteoporosis by doing exercises in the pool according to programs,
• renovating and condition baths, recreation in wellness and fitness programs,
• underwater massage.

Special care must be taken in case of overburdening in the pool or contraindications such as high blood pressure, heart conditions, decompensation of heart, liver and kidneys, diabetic acidosis, veins inflammation, open wounds, epileptics, physical exhaustion, acute febrile states and severe neurological disturbances with physical symptoms, as well as during pregnancy.
In case of conditions mentioned above, consult your physician or the hotel doctor.
