Czechia,A Land Blessed With SpasThe tradition of spa treat-ment in Czechia is one of the oldest in Europe.Since the Middle Ages, people have sought to harness the extraordinary power of natural healing resources – mineral springs, beneficial peat and sludge, natural gas, and climate.By the end of the 18th century, Czech spas had become so renowned that the most prominent figures from around the world were flocking here – from rulers and statesmen to military leaders, nobility, and artists. Remarkably, spa facilities can be found all over Czechia – in more than thirty locations.Czechia has a well-developed spa infrastructure, with spas boasting top balneological specialists and highly qualified medical personnel. The quality of Czech medical care and the advancement of treatment and rehabilitation methods are well known. It is no coincidence that the very first spa facility in Europe to receive the EUROPESPA med© certifi-cate – the prestigious quality award of the European Spas Association in Brussels – was from Czechia: Lázně Bělohrad. This certificate is awarded only to selected European spas after a thorough inspection and audit of their operations. At present, Czechia holds the highest number of successfully completed certifi-cations among EU countries.One of the guarantors of spa quality in Czechia is the professional association called the Union of Spa Treat-ment Resorts. All spa facilities that are members of the Union are accredited medical spas, and must meet strict quality criteria for treatment, catering, and accommoda-tion. Another important institution in the field of Czech spa culture is the Association of Spa Towns of the Czech Republic. The mission of the association is to actively contribute to creating conditions and tools for the regen-eration and development of spa care and spa destina-tions, both in Czechia and at the international level.In today’s fast-paced world, spas are not only frequented by those seeking treatment for illnesses, but also by peo-ple who respect preventative healthcare and relaxation. Spa facilities cater to this diverse clientele by offering traditional therapeutic stays alongside an array of regen-erative and relaxation programs. The main advantage of this medical wellness – that is, wellness provided in spa facilities – lies in the long-standing experience with traditional treatment, the possibility of medical consultation during the stay, and above all, the presence and use of natural healing resources. In addition to tra-ditional procedures involving these resources, spas also offer a variety of other wellness treatments, from mas-sages and pearl baths to exotic care inspired by Eastern medicine.The combination of treatment, appropriate relaxation, top-quality gastronomy, sporting activities, and unique cultural experiences together creates a comprehensive experience. Let yourself be carried away and disconnect from the reality of everyday life. You are about to experi-ence something truly exceptional.How Natural Healing Resources Are UsedMineral waters – drinking cures, baths, inhalations, underwater massagesPeat, sludge – wraps, compresses, bathsGases – gas injections, dry gas bathsClimate – stays in areas with uniquely clean airRelaxation in Mariánské LázněMore information here:Union of Spa Treatment Resorts of the Czech Republiclecebnelazne.czsekretariat@lecebnelazne.czAssociation of Spa Towns of the Czech Republicjedemedolazni.czinfo@jedemedolazni.cz
