The quality of any balneal therapy depends on the quality of the water spring. Carlsbad's hot-springs contain a unique composition of minerals which ranks among world's best and most efficient waters. The highest-yielding spring - Vřídlo - is gushing up from some 2,000 m deep, bringing up a water ecologically so clean that it has got no match among surface waters. The twelve springs are used for drinking therapy, above all, which, in spite of medical progress, is as important today as it has ever been. Rich experience made over centuries and expert opinions of the last decades have proved excellent preventative and therapeutical effects in malfunction or disorders of stomach, liver, gall- bladder, pancreas or intestines. Drinking therapy improves the quality of digestion in the first place, thus providing sufficient supply of energy carrying components of diet. It also improves vitamin, mineral and enzymes supply. Most recent development is the use of mineral water to treat paradonthosis. As many guests suffer from several diseases at a time, complimentary massages, peat baths, hydropathy, electric therapy, exercises, and most recently also acupuncture and oxygen therapy are offered. Integral part of any balneal stay is the individual diet, of course. Key to any successful treatment of chronical ailments is the complex therapy in the first place. Beside springs and therapies, this includes the harmony of the town, of the nature around and of the historicising air of past generations of Carlsbad. Improved health condition is the prime reason why, full of love and thankfulness, people keep returning to Carlsbad after having tried the healing effects of Carlsbad's world-famous spring water.
