Natural Factors

Healing Mineral Water "Donat Mg"

• The drinking course combined with selected therapy is essential for combating constipation, obesity, excessive stomach acid production, and heartburn. It is beneficial under stress, during mental and physical exertion, for diabetes, high blood pressure, and pregnancy when magnesium needs increase.
• The drinking course is conducted at the drinking pavilion of the Rogaska Medical Center, performed at least three times a day, 20–30 minutes before meals.

Thermal Mineral Water

• Bathing in mineral and thermal water is popular for its exceptional health benefits.
• High CO₂ content in the water enhances capillary blood flow, wound healing, oxygen exchange, metabolic rate, immune system, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, improves water drainage, has anti-inflammatory effects, and reduces cold sensitivity.
• For better effects, peeling is recommended before bathing, and a massage afterward. Baths may include magnesium, herbal, or soda additives.

Peloid Wraps (Fango)

• Natural volcanic clay (bentonite) wraps, besides their thermal effect which reduces pain and is essential for treating rheumatic, degenerative, and other diseases, are also important for their mineral content absorbed through the skin.
