What is a Drinking Cure?
In a drinking cure, you drink specific amounts of natural mineral water from local healing springs as prescribed by a doctor. The minerals specifically target metabolism and internal organs.
What Conditions Does the Drinking Cure Help With?
Especially effective for: digestive tract disorders, metabolic disorders (diabetes, gout), kidney and urinary tract diseases, as well as periodontitis.
How It Works
The spa doctor prescribes: which spring, how much water, at what times, and at what temperature. Typically, 3-4 servings per day, each 200-300 ml, 30 minutes before meals.
The Best Places for Drinking Cures
Karlsbad with 19 thermal springs, Marienbad with 40 cold healing springs, and Franzensbad — the Bohemian Spa Triangle is the center of the European drinking cure tradition.
