Bad Pyrmont excels with consolidated health expertise across various medical fields, utilising its valuable natural remedies.
The Healthy Seven The springs emerge in the Valley of Springs and are administered directly at the springs, in the therapy houses, and in the promenade hall. In Bad Pyrmont, there is the rarity of two different types of medicinal water: the brine-containing sodium chloride acidulous waters and the calcium- and magnesium-rich hydrogencarbonate acidulous waters.
Brine Brine baths have a calming effect on the autonomic nervous system. Brine motion baths allow for intensive muscle and circulatory training due to increased buoyancy. Movements in brine water specifically relieve joints and the back.
Mud The therapeutic mud allows for very high application temperatures over an extended period while being well tolerated. At temperatures of 41 to 46 °C, an optimal therapeutic effect is achieved. A therapy with natural mud improves joint mobility, muscle relaxation, and overall circulation.
CO2 spring gas and the steam cave The steam cave is a unique natural phenomenon. CO2 spring gas invisibly flows from a rock fissure at Helvetius Hill to the surface. The carbon dioxide degasses from a magma source at a depth of 4,000 m and is the driving force for all of Bad Pyrmont's medicinal springs. CO2 brings these medicinal waters to the surface. Central and peripheral vessels are better circulated, relieving the heart and circulatory system.
