MARIENBAD
Situated in what was once called Bohemia, perched high up
in a beautiful wooded valley is the spa resort of Marienbad. This
famous resort pays homage to spa culture, through it’s glorious
Edwardian architecture, spas and colonnades, making it a ‘must see’ on
a list of places to visit in a lifetime.
The spa heritage of Marienbad
Marienbad was founded at the beginning of the 19th century, but it was at the end of this century, a 'golden age', that witnessed an unprecedented boom of the spa town. King Edward VII of England used to rank among the most regular guests, he visited the town nine times in total and in 1904 he met with the Austrian Emperor, Franz Joseph I, here. Guests are today even able to experience a treatment in his personal bath cabin, with its unique atmosphere and elaborate decoration.
Natural Resources
More than 100 ‘cold water’ springs rise up within the vicinity of
Marienbad most of them differing in their chemical composition. When
drunk these waters have healing effects on many different disorders of
digestion, liver, kidney and the urinary tract. Specific springs have
their particular benefits, which is why this drinking treatment is
prescribed by a doctor. The water is also used for inhalation therapies
and mineral baths.
Also
naturally seeping through the earth’s surface in Marienbad is its
famous natural gas from the Marie Spring. This gas is combined with the
mineral water and experienced in the form of a bath, or alternatively is pumped into
a ‘dry gas bag’ around the body, resulting in a treatment excellent for
circulation disorders, lowering blood pressure and even the improvement
of sexual functions. When injected into certain areas such as the spine or joints it reduces
pain and speeds up the natural healing processes.
Peat is used in Marienbad in the form
of a peat wrap for treating mobility disorders and as a gynecologic
treatment for many conditions including sterility due to its healing
and anti-inflammatory effects.
