Treatment with balneotherapy
Balneotherapy (ozonised sea water baths) is a natural treatment recommended for dermatological and rheumatic diseases. It uses the properties of ozone, a gas that not only has important antiseptic activity, but is also able to improve the flow of oxygen in the tissues and acts as an important vasodilator, stimulating blood circulation. During every bath the entire body is massaged and toned. At the Grado seaside spas, a balneotherapy cycle consists of 12 thermal baths. This treatment is indicated for cellulite, skin aging, acne and skin spots, psoriasis, hypertension, stress, and blood circulation. It is also recommended for arthritic and rheumatic diseases, extra-articular rheumatism, osteoarthritis and other degenerative disorders.
Baths in seawater heated to 36-37°C
This treatment involves total body immersion in a tub of sea water heated to 36-37°C (97-99°F), to which ozone is added. Each treatment lasts 30 minutes: 15 for the immersion stage and 15 for the reaction stage. The complete cycle includes 12 thermal baths in 12 days.
At the Grado seaside spa, balneotherapy treatment is a service affiliated with the National Health Service for arthritic-rheumatic and dermatological disorders (osteoarthritis and other degenerative forms, extra-articular rheumatism, psoriasis).
