Naturally Carbonated Mineral Baths
What it is
A bath in Mariánské Lázně's naturally carbonated mineral water — spring water so rich in dissolved carbon dioxide that fine bubbles cling to the skin. You bathe in cool-to-warm mineral water while the CO₂ is absorbed through the skin.
Who it's for
Guests with high blood pressure, circulatory and mild cardiovascular conditions, and those with chronic musculoskeletal complaints seeking a gentle, low-strain bath.
Expected results
Improved peripheral circulation, a gentle blood-pressure-lowering effect and eased muscle tension — without the load of a hot bath.
How it works
The carbon dioxide dissolved in the spring water is absorbed through the skin and dilates the skin's capillaries, visible as a characteristic reddening. This lowers peripheral resistance and eases the heart's workload. Because the natural mineral water is cool rather than hot, it further reduces cardiac strain compared with a warm bath — making it suitable where a hot bath would be too demanding.
Consultation
Duration:10 minThe physician confirms suitability and sets the water temperature and bath time.
The carbonated bath
Duration:15–20 minYou lie in the naturally carbonated mineral water as CO₂ bubbles settle on and are absorbed through the skin.
Wrapped rest
Duration:15 minA short wrapped rest allows your circulation to settle before you continue your day.

About this treatment
All three use carbon dioxide. In a naturally carbonated mineral bath you bathe in CO₂-rich spring water, absorbing the gas through the skin in water. A dry CO₂ gas bath uses the same gas but with no water — the body is sealed in a bag of warmed CO₂. CO₂ injections (carboxytherapy) deliver small amounts of the gas just under the skin at a specific site. Your physician recommends the form best suited to your condition.
The natural spring water is cool, and that is part of the therapy: a cool carbonated bath eases circulation and blood pressure without the cardiac strain of a hot bath, so it suits guests with cardiovascular conditions.
No referral is required. Our resident physician reviews your cardiovascular health on arrival.
