CHIANCIANO'S WATER
Acqua Santa Acqua Fucoli Acqua Sillene

When the liver is not functioning as it should a cycle of treatment with Acqua Santa water from Chiancianospa is a remedy not to be missed.

Acqua Santa emerges from the ground at a temperature of 33°C and its high content of bicarbonate, sulphate and calcium (drunk in doses of 100-200 to 500-600 g per day as prescribed by the spa doctor) puri­fies and cures the body.

Indications:

·         functional disorders of the Iiver and bile ducts following hepatitis (viral, alcoholic, due to drugs or toxins)

·         chronic inflammation of the gaIl bladder and biliary ducts

·         changes to the motory functions and strength of contraction of the gall bladder

·         galI stones

·        pain and digestive disturbances following an operation on the bile ducts.

When taken over long periods, Acqua Santa water can have a beneficial effect in the prevention of osteoporosis thanks to the high content in calcium salts, which are readily absorbed in the intestines.

In order to regain the natural sensation of weII-being that regul­ar diuretic and intestinal activ­ity gives, and to feel Iight and

clean, Chianciano spa advises taking the Acqua Fucoli waters. The bicarbonate, sulphate and calcium rich water from this

spring emerges at 16.5°C, thus maintaining intact its original characteristics. Acqua Fucoli must be taken as a drink (400-800 g. per day, in the afternoon, when the digestive process is almost complete).

Indications:

  •   to regulate activity of the inte­stines (slow intestines, irritable colon, constipation)

  • to stimulate dieresis

  • to exercise an anti-inflammatory effect in gastro-duodenitis (in­flammation of the small intestine)

  • to support the hydropinic treat­ment initiated in the morning.

To plunge the body into the warm embrace of an invigorating water bath or therapeutic mud bath is the best way to thoroughly reactivate the circulation. Acqua Sillene is ideal for this thanks to its particular chemical and physical properties and natural temperature of 38.50C. Treatment with Acqua Sillene is carried out by means of balneotherapy and mud applications (the mud Is composed of clay matured in the hot spring water and heated up to about 480C).

  Indications:

  • to increase the flow of blood under the skin

  • to exercise an antispastic effect:

- on the muscles around the arteries (so reducing arterial pressure in hypertensive subjects and increasing walking autonomy in those with peripheral vascular disorders)

- on muscles influencing the bile ducts (the flow of bile is regularised and the painful symptoms of bile cholics is reduced)

- on the skeletal muscles (chronic arthro-rheumatic affections).
