Drinking Treatments in Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně as a Restart for Your Digestion

Digestive issues, feeling of heaviness after every meal, a rebellious gallbladder, or sluggish intestines can greatly inconvenience one's daily life. As we mature, our metabolism naturally slows down, and the stomach becomes more sensitive to any load. Many people address this state with a handful of pharmacy pills, which often only suppress symptoms but do not treat the root cause. Yet, nature has hidden the most effective remedy deep beneath the earth's surface.

At CK Sunflowers, we focus on honest, time-tested balneotherapy. Our western neighbors in the Czech Republic harbor a world unique – the so-called spa triangle. If your insides need a thorough cleanse and metabolic reset, the cities of Karlovy Vary and Marianske Lazne are the best natural clinics in the world. Although close to each other, each heals digestion in a completely different way.

Karlovy Vary: Hot power for the gallbladder, liver, and stomach

The springs of Karlovy Vary are legendary, sought after by rulers from all over Europe. There are a total of 15 healing springs here, all with the same chemical composition, but differing in two aspects – temperature (from 30°C to 72°C) and the amount of dissolved carbon dioxide.

• How does the hot spring work? The water in Karlovy Vary is highly alkaline. When slowly, sip by sip, drinking from a traditional spa cup, it acts as a balm for an over-acidic stomach. The hot water releases cramps in the stomach and bile ducts and stimulates the liver to regenerate.

• Who is it suitable for? It is the first choice for those suffering from chronic stomach illnesses, stomach ulcers, gallbladder dysfunction, or who are recovering from pancreas and liver surgeries. Karlovy Vary is also world-renowned for treating diabetes, as the local drinking cure has proven to help the body process sugars better and lower blood glucose levels.

Marianske Lazne: Cool oases for the intestines and metabolism

While Karlovy Vary focused on hot springs, Marianske Lazne is a city of cold, acidic springs (their temperature ranges from 7 to 10°C). These springs rise in beautiful, quiet parks, and their composition is immensely diverse. For the digestive tract, the so-called Rudolf's and especially Glauber's spring are most impactful.

• How does the cold spring work? The local waters contain high amounts of so-called Glauber's salt (sodium and magnesium sulphates). This salt has an amazing property – it binds to water in the intestines, naturally and painlessly stimulating their activity.

• Who is it suitable for? Marianske Lazne is a salvation for those troubled by chronic constipation, sluggish intestines, and bloating. The drinking cure cleanses the intestinal mucosa of deposited toxins and restores healthy microflora. Moreover, the water is rich in calcium and magnesium, which helps neutralize acids and cleanses the kidneys and urinary tracts.

How does the proper drinking cure proceed?

The rules of the drinking cure are simple yet adhere to a strict spa ritual. Water is always drunk directly at the spring, slowly, in small sips while walking. Movement along the colonnade helps minerals to properly mix and be absorbed in the stomach and intestines. A spa physician will precisely determine from which spring, how many deciliters, and at what time before meals you should drink.

Slowly sipping warm or cold water amidst stunning historical architecture and tranquil parks also has a deep calming effect on the psyche, which is closely linked to our digestion.
