Mineral Water Drinking Cure
What it is
A drinking cure (crenotherapy) is the medically guided drinking of natural mineral spring water in prescribed amounts, temperatures and timings across your stay — a core Mariánské Lázně tradition.
Who it's for
Guests with urinary and kidney-stone tendencies, chronic urological inflammation, and digestive or metabolic disorders including gout and mild diabetes.
Expected results
Better hydration and urinary flushing, supported digestion and metabolism, achieved gradually over a structured 2–3 week course.
How it works
Each spring has a distinct mineral composition — bicarbonate, sulphate, magnesium, iron or dissolved carbon dioxide — and each exerts specific effects. Prescribed to the right water, dose and timing, a drinking cure flushes the urinary tract, buffers gastric acidity, stimulates bile flow and bowel activity, and supplies trace elements the body can use. The physician matches the spring to your diagnosis.
Consultation
Duration:20 minThe physician selects the spring, dose, temperature and timing for your condition.
Drinking rounds
Duration:over the dayYou drink the prescribed water at the colonnade at set times through the day, often before meals.
Review
Your response is reviewed during the stay and the prescription adjusted as needed.

About this treatment
A drinking cure is a prescribed therapy, not simply drinking water. The physician chooses the spring, dose, temperature and timing to match your diagnosis — the wrong water or amount can be ineffective or unsuitable, which is why it is medically guided.
It is best known for urinary and kidney-stone tendencies, chronic urological inflammation, and digestive and metabolic disorders — the classic indications of Mariánské Lázně's springs.
No referral is required. Our resident physician prescribes your cure on arrival.
Your stay
At the spa colonnade, at set times through the day. Our coordinator will build the drinking rounds into your daily schedule.
