The Innovative Health SPA Programme, started in 2020 – Programme for Therapeutic, Prevention and Medical Recovery Education for patients suffering from Peripheral Circulatory Insufficiency, carried out by our medical team in collaboration with Romanian Balneology Association and the University of Medicine – Cluj-Napoca, that combines unique factors (rich ozonated air, charged with negative ions, resinous aerosols, relaxing-sedative climate) and natural therapeutic factors (mofetta – healing gases, mineral waters) associated with a healthy lifestyle giving benefit for the whole body & mind.
2. Originality
The effectiveness of the cardiovascular balneary treatment provided in its treatment centre is due to the natural cure factors, the resort being placed directly on the source, which ensures its UNIQUENESS with natural cure factors: mineral water, mofette, relaxing-sedative bioclimate.
The programme is impossible to replicate since the position of the Balneary Center is exactly on the source of mofettic gas and mineral waters, also the concentration and chemical composition of the mineral water (ferruginous, bicarbonated, chlorinated, sodium, carbonated, hypotonic mineral waters with a total mineralization of 1745.90 mg/l and very rich in free carbon dioxide 2244 mg/l) and of the moffeta is unique all over the world (CO2 – 80.70%, O2 – 2.9%, N – 16.40%, Rn – 247 Bq/m3, Ra A – 115.30 Bq/m3, Ra B – 84.5 Bq/m3, Ra C – 18.10 Bq/m3, concentration of negative ions 1.84104 ions/ml, concentration of positive ions 2.02103) from the study and other information regarding other mofettas published to the date is the perfect combination known.
In our Innovative Health Programme were introduced a number of 18 patients in 2020, 52 patients in 2021, 76 patients in 2022 and at the end of 2023 the objective is 104 patients, until the date we have 92 patients, the patients were observed and monitored during the stay and 6 months after leaving. We used all therapeutic methods that we have in our Balneary Centre adapted to each patient depending on the anatomy-clinical stage, the evolutionary stage of the disease and the biological potential of the person. Every patient has a folder and it is introduced in our Programme and monitored monthly and 6 months after leaving the resort. The therapeutic indications are: mofetta, bath with mineral water, kinesiotherapy, physiotherapy and enjoying bioclimate.
Programme goals:
Proving the efficiency of the natural therapeutic factors, namely carbonated mineral waters, moffetes, field cures, and the bioclimate, together with kinesiotherapy, in patients with obliterative chronic arteriopathy;
Monitoring the effect duration in the case of the treatment applied— when, after the completion of the treatment, can we note the improvement of symptoms – pain, walking speed, or walking distance?
If the medical treatment dosage – namely peripheral vasodilators, antihypertensive medication, analgesics – can be reduced or not;
Encouraging walking, reducing cardiovascular risk, and increasing the quality of the patients’ life;
Continuing medical recovery in the balneotherapy resorts with a cardiovascular profile through partnerships with cardiovascular medical and surgical facilities.
3. Impact and benefits
The equipment of the Balneary Center has some uniqueness features: the mofetta has a gas monitoring system for avoiding intoxication or other accidents, the carbonated baths have an automatized system for water monitoring and evacuation system, both systems are adapted to our center and created special for the center.
Regarding the benefits for the patients in the study were noted significant improvements in the pain relief, walking speed and walking distance, the reduction or even the interruption of drug treatment (namely peripheral vasodilators, antihypertensive medication, analgesics|), reduction of cardiovascular risk and increasing the quality of the patients’ life.
In the study our medical team observed a positive evolution of the program’s effects, over 60% of the patients confirmed that they reduce the dose of drugs treatment, also 10% of the patients have given up certain drug treatments (anti-inflammatory, vasodilator, hypertensive), increasing the distance and the walking parameter in the case of patients with circulatory insufficiency, increasing the quality of life of the patients that are in the study and also the study was extended to other categories of diseases generating others in this field by our medical team regarding the treatment of dermatological and metabolic diseases – including diabetes and chronic smoking – the reduction of inflammatory processes, balancing blood pressure and increasing immunity.
Turism Covasna is the only company in the Balneo area that has implemented a research program and have participated with the medical team to numerous events like Congresses, Medical Forums (national and international), conferences and even hosting a large number of evets, promoting the benefit of the natural resources all over the world. With this study and others our medical team have gain awards at the mentioned events above.
4. Sustainability
In our Balneary Center the moffetic gas comes directly from underneath, it is not accumulated but used directly, with no consumption of energy. Regarding the treatment with mineral water, the medical procedure is carried out in individual bathtubs, the mineral water drilling is within the courtyard of our Balneary Treatment Center and uses the amount recommended at crenotherapy or individual bathtubs. A part of the energy needed for water heating is provided by the system of photovoltaic panels located on the roof of the Balneary Center (were installed in 2023).
