Thermal therapy
The Euganean Thermal Area is the most important and largest thermal zone in Europe for mud therapy. This is a place for health and psycho-physical recovery known for the therapeutic power of water and mud since the Roman age, of which many traces can be found.
Mud and water of the Euganean Thermal Area are more effective than anti-inflammatory medicine in the treatment of arthrosis and spondylitis, better known as inflammatory “backache”. This pathology is common and bears a high social impact.
The peculiar characteristics of water and mud in the Euganean Thermal Area make these treatments particularly effective in the rheumatic affections of the musculoskeletal system, which are the most common chronic diseases.
For the first time, thermal mud and bath therapy have been demonstrated to have short and long term benefits in inflammatory “backache”, which often affects young patients for viral causes or because of life style choices, and behavioural or postural habitudes. Those patients who have undergone mud-bath therapy in the Euganean spa have significantly improved their conditions in a 100% of the cases, with results lasting for the following six months. This allows a strong reduction in the use of analgesic medicines taken for backache. The effectiveness of the thermal area brings an improvement in the quality of life and eases the painful consequences, reducing the use of medicines for at least six months after the end of the thermal cycle.

Inhalation therapy
The importance of the water in the thermal area of Abano Terme is a result of its provenience. This water springs from the Lessini Mountains in the Alpine Foothills and flows underground through limestone sedimentary rock, thousands of metres deep, at a temperature of 87° C.

Our Hotel is equipped with a unit dedicated to inhalatory bath therapy; special instruments break up the particles of mineral water, atomize it and change it into an effective treatment for pathologies of the respiratory tracts, upper and lower, and for the prevention and healing of chronic pathologies.
There are many therapeutic uses of these inhalatory therapies; antiseptic action, stimulation of the ciliary body, fluidization and normalization of respiratory mucus, cure of rhinitis, sinusitis, and chronic bronchitis.
