Mud bath in the health center

Health Center (Bayerisches Staatsbad) Bad Steben

Description

The triad of remedies radon - carbonic acid - moor, unique in Western Europe, promises relief and relaxation.

In the spa's health center, spa guests place themselves in the hands of experienced physiotherapists, while Bad Steben's unique combination of radon, carbonic acid and natural moor promises relief from rheumatism, degenerative joint diseases, cardiovascular disorders and other ailments. Staying pain-free for six months without medication after a series of baths with the radon-containing Temple Spring - this is possible in Bad Steben, scientifically substantiated by several studies conducted by the spa research association.
