Zalmanov bath in Karlovy Vary
Zalmanov bath is a bath based on turpentine. Turpentine baths expand blood vessels, accelerate metabolic processes, relieve stress, have a bactericidal and analgesic effect, tone up the skin, trigger the body's regeneration processes, help fight excess weight and cellulite. There are three types of turpentine baths: white, yellow and mixed. Whites increase the pressure and, in addition to turpentine, contain salicylic acid, powdered baby soap and camphor spirit. Yellow, on the contrary, lower blood pressure and contain castor oil, caustic soda and oleic acid. Zalmanov mixed baths do not affect pressure, have fewer contraindications, but have a less pronounced effect on the body. The procedure has a wide range of applications and is prescribed for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory organs, nervous system, urinary tract, endocrine, gynecological and skin diseases. The procedure is prescribed only by doctor's prescription.
