HOLIDAY MAGAZINE FOR THE REGION OF HILDESHEIM

Therapie Centre for natural remedies | HOLIDAY MAGAZINE HILDESHEIM 2012
The two traditional natural remedies, salt water and mud, still form
the basis of the treatments offered by the Therapy Centre. However,
natural remedies are just one part of the treatments available
today. In the salt-water outdoor and indoor swimming pools,
guests enjoy the beneficial effects of the three-percent salt water
because the human body reacts positively to salt water. Doctors refer
to this as “vegetative reactions”. The salt penetrates horny skin,
whereas water is only absorbed in small quantities. The salt has no
chemical effect on the skin, but the protein in the skin cells is broken
down more quickly and the rate at which the cells divide is increased.
This results in a so-called “rejuvenation effect”. Because of
the greater buoyancy, it’s easier to swim in the salt water pool, which
has a salt content of 3 percent and a temperature of 30 to 33 °C. Muscles
relax, the circulatory system is stimulated and blood flow improves.
In addition to the indoor pool, there is also a large outdoor
pool – it’s a real pleasure to swim in the warm water outside in the
cold seasons of the year. Underwater massage jets, a pool for water
treading and cold arm baths outdoors improve your sense of wellbeing.
The generously sized quiet zone with lounge chairs and the
lovely patio and sunbathing lawns outside in the summer are all
the more reason to relax and stay a while.
Relaxation – along with the opportunities to take advantage of
health treatments – can be found in the 5-star saunas in the salt
water outdoor and indoor swimming pools. With five different saunas
– from the traditional Finnish sauna to the Kelo earth sauna
and the Kelo hexagonal sauna, the steam bath and Roman steam
bath – Salzdetfurth offers a wide range of enjoyment in a pleasant
atmosphere. The Therapy Centre includes the traditional natural
remedies of salt water and mud to improve your physical, mental
and emotional relaxation in modern forms of therapy and wellness
treatments.
