Balneology in Bulgaria
Bulgaria - healthy country Balneology (derived from the Latin "balneum" to alleviate pain, later means "bath"; "logos" means "word, teaching, science") is the doctrine on mineral waters and water cure covering also mud treatment, thalassotherapy, climatic therapy; it is a branch of medical science studying the origin and the physical and chemical properties of the minerals waters, their application methods as medical and preventive measures at internal and external use.
It seems to us that the Bulgarian resorts are wrongly underestimated in views of the brilliant opportunities they render for cure and preventive treatment of many an illness.
To Bulgaria's credit is the climate congenial to health, 378 km long seashore with wonderful sandy beaches, more than 530 (!) mineral thermal springs with various physicochemical composition, temperature and undeniable medical properties, dozens of basins with lagoon-type inundated mud and peat deposits.
With its unique, varied and abundant hydromineral, bio-climatic, mud- and thalassotherapeutic and other resources Bulgaria stands among the top countries in the European list.
Some of the most famous spa-centers are Varshets, Sandanski, Velingrad, Hissar, Pomorie.
The history of the balneotherapy in Bulgaria The Bulgarian traditions in the balneotherapy go back to the earliest times.
In Thracian period prosperous settlements arise near hot mineral wells; nympheums for water cure have been built.
In Roman époque such balneotherapeutic centres as Augusta (Hissar), Desudava (Sandanski), Serdica (Sofia) gain foothold and the Roman emperors Ulpius Trajanus, Septimius Severus, Justinian underwent medical treatment there.
What and where to cure? The treatment modes in the modern balneotherapeutic centres, where our company suggests accommodation, are more or less the same.
They are dealt in detail in our offers in the sections of the appropriate resorts accordingly.
In the same time each resort assumes its peculiarities.
For example Sandanski is very suitable for treatment of patients suffering from bronchial asthma, non-specific lung diseases, and upper respiratory tract diseases.
The treatment in Hissarya gives excellent result in cure of renal excretion system disorders, a range of diseases of the digestive tract, the gall-bladder, the liver, etc.
Velingrad hosts patients for treatment of metabolic disturbances, functional disorders of the nervous system, urinary excretion and gastric systems diseases.
Devin is suitable for musculoskeletal system, neurological and cardiovascular diseases cure.
The sea-based balneotherapeutic centres successfully treat the diseases of the locomotor apparatus, the peripheral nervous system; these centres widely use the Black Sea inundated lands' (liman) mud, medicinal peat, spring therapeutic mud and aqua-gels.
