The therapeutic properties of our mud matured in sulphurous bicarbonate-calcium spa water are due to its temperature, the mineral substances dissolved in it, its chemical-physical conditions, its radioactivity and to the presence of plant and animal microorganisms. It has an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, healing effect, stimulating the process of repair, sedative, stimulating the immune system, stimulating cell turnover, detoxifying. The combination with the ozone hydromassage ensures that it is enriched with the properties of ozone, which dissolved in water through damp skin easily reaches tissues with stimulating effects and activating microcirculation.

Combining spa water with steam or air produces microparticles of varying diameter; in Inhalations, the particles reach a size of around 100 microns, and, through a jet, they reach the patient’s upper airways; in Aerosols, the size is around 1-2 microns and through the mask or nasal cannula, they reach the deeper airways as far as the pulmonary alveoli. Inhalations are suitable for chronic rhino-pharyngeal-laryngitis, sinusitis and tonsillitis; the Aerosols for tracheitis, trachea-bronchitis and chronic bronchitis. Spa Micronized Showers cleanse the nasal cavities with spa water useful in all Chronic and Hypertrophic Rhinitis. Finally, Moist Spraying is a collective spa treatment in rooms where a mist of microparticles of 50-60 microns of spa water and steam is generated indicated for tracheitis, tracheobronchitis and chronic bronchitis.
