Why is the traditional medical cure in Hévíz unique?
 
The lake of Hévíz is a geological rarity. Opposite to other hot-water lakes of the world located generally on volcanic ground, the spring lake of Hévíz lies in a turf basin. It is filled with calcium- and magnesium-containing hydrogen-carbonate medicinal water. Due to its particular health-preserving effect and high mineral content, this water has an exceptionally advantageous effect on rheumatic and motorial diseases and helps the treatment of several other complaints. It stimulates the production of hormones that have an effect on the adrenal glands so that own substances of the body could reduce the inflammation and the pain of the patient. The water affects positively the oestrogen level of the body so it can be used efficiently for chronic gynaecological problems as well. The hydrostatic pressure by bathing and the different drifts are ideal to improve the circulation and the gentle temperature of the lake allows a long stay in the water.

In addition to the medicinal lake, the turf-based mud of Hévíz is unique in the entire world. Its effect is similar to the water, but more intensive. Due to its radium content, it stills the pain, refreshes the nervous system, and stimulates the regeneration of cells and the metabolism. Beyond that, microelements it contains make the skin soft and silky and normalize the sebum and even the biorhythm during a longer treatment. Hunguest Hotel Helios is awaiting his guests with large scale of medical treatments, which are based on the thermal water, rushing up from our own fountain.
