Our Local Waters and Muds
DISCOVER AN ANCIENT UNDERGROUND SEA
THERMAL WATERS AND MUDS
Lucia Magnani Health Clinic stands in an area that is rich in thermal spa waters and clay with unique properties, that are especially beneficial in their therapeutic actions, as they aid drainage, regulate the production of sebum and act as peeling agents. Formation dates back to the Paleo-Adriatic era, over six million years ago, when the Adriatic Sea covered these areas, which are now about forty kilometres from the current coastline.
THE MAGIC OF OUR WATERS
The green salsobromoiodic and sulphur waters of Castrocaro contain active ingredients that are particularly suitable for the treatment and prevention of arthro-rheumatic, respiratory, vascular, gynaecological, gastroenterological and dermatological diseases.
The recipe for the success and effectiveness of our treatments includes a thorough knowledge and familiarity with the curative properties of thermal waters, constant technological innovation as well as the professionalism and expertise of our doctors and operators, combined with the centuries-old tradition of the Castrocaro Thermal Baths and the medical know-how of GVM Care&Research.
THE PROPERTIES OF OUR WATERS
Sulphur water
It is characterised by a high content of hydrogen sulphide, which has a local anti-inflammatory and anti-catarrhal action on the skin and the mucous membranes and a broader regenerative and boosting action on the immune system.
When used in inhalation therapies, it can prevent rhinitis, rhinopharyngitis, relapsing laryngitis and chronic bronchitis. Sulphurous gas alone is used to treat middle ear diseases such as rhinogenic deafness.
When applied to the skin, it helps relieve symptoms of acne and eczema and remove minor skin blemishes, particularly in patients with oily skin.
Salsobromoiodic water
It is extremely rich in iodine and bromine salts and has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and cleansing effects on the skin and mucous membranes, especially in case of chronic inflammations. It also combats water retention caused by venous and lymphatic stagnation thanks to its anti-edemigenous and vasoactive properties, reduces fibrous retractions and restores the elasticity of periarticular tissues and scars.
When used for baths, it can treat joint disorders caused by arthrosis and is also suitable for motor rehabilitation after traumas to the locomotor system as well as for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs (swollen legs, varicose veins, etc.).
THE CASTROCARO “VELVETY” MUD
The fine blue clay, or as Leonardo da Vinci referred to it, “azzurrigno terren di mare”, have an extraordinary capacity to absorb and hold a large quantity of water, creating an especially velvety compound that is rich in properties and that is left to mature for a further six-nine months before being used. At the end of the process, the mud, named “velvet”, reaches ideal plasticity for adhering perfectly to the surface of the body it will treat, thus obtaining maximum results from the application.
Mud therapy with salsobromoiodic water harnesses the high content of sodium chloride and the therapeutic properties of iodine and bromine to stimulate the production of specific proteins which slow down the progressive damage caused by the ageing of our body tissues. Our local clay is also mixed with sulphur water to treat various skin conditions; this mineral water has a strong and distinctive smell that is due to the high content of hydrogen sulphide (H2S), a volatile gas which represents its most important active ingredient.
