Comano thermal water. Elixir of health.

Science says so, and recent research on its microbiota conducted by the G.B. Mattei Institute in collaboration with the CIBIO of the University of Trento confirms it. Thousands of people who every year choose the Comano Thermal Baths for the prevention and treatment of skin and respiratory problems bear witness to this. Comano thermal water is good for you.

It all begins, as often happens, with a story to tell. A famous legend tells that centuries ago the prophetess Sibyl healed a man simply by immersing him in a pool of water inside her cave right here, in Comano Terme. No time has passed since the birth of this popular tale, passed down from generation to generation to the present day. Today, the word has obviously passed to science, which has identified thousands of microorganisms in the water of Comano Terme, most unknown to science, such as Mezorhizobium comanense, responsible for the anti-inflammatory action on the skin, for which the patent application has been filed, which will be followed by the application in the dermatological and dermocosmetic field.

There is enough to trust, don't you think? The water of the Comano Thermal Baths is a true natural elixir with a thousand virtues and in this article we will explain how to use it for the health of the body, but also for the well-being of the mind.

At first it may seem difficult, but learning this term is essential to discovering the secrets of Comano thermal water. The composition of a thermal water is, in fact, somewhat like its DNA and is what sets it apart from all others. In our case, the presence of solutes such as calcium and magnesium enhances the therapeutic action of this remarkable spring, whichalready boasts the high diuretic and detoxifying properties typical of oligomineral waters.

The water from the Comano Thermal Baths flows at a constant temperature of approximately 27/28 °C, the highest compared to all other oligometallic waters in Italy. Rich in fluorine, it is known throughout Europe for its anti-inflammatory, healing, soothing, and emollient properties, to which are added the regenerating, immunomodulating, and antibacterial properties recently brought to light by scientific research conducted on the mechanism of action of its microbiota. The study also identified a rich community of microorganisms, many of which are unknown to science, that could play an important therapeutic role. 

Now that we know a little more about the composition of this authentic “medicine” given to us by Mother Nature,we will explain the four ways you can use Comano thermal water to take care of yourself and live a healthy life. 

Alongside mud treatments, balneotherapy is the oldest form of spa therapy, practiced since the time of the ancient Romans. Did you know? Using thermal water as a therapeutic method, in the form of baths, is still a valid remedy today for the treatmentand preventionof major skin conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis, acne and eczema. The water from the Terme di Comano is renowned throughout Europe precisely in the field of dermatology. Its unique properties help reduce inflammation and itching, leading to a significant improvement in quality of life and a reduction in medication use. Even if you do not suffer from any skin conditions, the use of Comano thermal water is recommended to improve circulation, for example if you suffer from swelling and heaviness in the legs. In this case, the hydromassage combines the softening and anti-inflammatory properties of the Terme di Comano water with the benefits of a deep relaxing massage that tones and relaxes the muscles, stimulates microcirculation and oxygenates the tissues.

Are you familiar with the term hydrotherapeutic treatment? It is used to identify a therapy that involves drinking water with specific properties to promote our body’s well-being. In addition to being very light and therefore well tolerated by everyone, the water from the Comano Thermal Baths has a diuretic and detoxifying effect, making it an essential element of daily well-being for those who choose to spend their holiday in Trentino, in Comano Terme. 

By promoting natural cell renewal and cleansing, this water purifies the body and facilitates the elimination of waste for an exceptional, guaranteed detoxifying effect! The source of oligomineral water for hydrotherapeutic treatment is available both at the Comano Thermal Baths, at the Antica Fonte (the site of the legendary cave of the Sibyl!), and to all guests of the Grand Hotel Terme di Comano.

When turned into steam, thermal water is a powerful natural ally in the treatment and prevention of the most common inflammatory conditions affecting the respiratory tract: bronchitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, and pharyngitis, and the resulting symptoms such as colds, sore throats, and nasal congestion that leave us feeling weak and make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep, especially during the colder months of the year.

So how can we best prepare for the winter season? Dr. Fernando Ianeselli, Medical Director of the Terme di Comano, explains. “It is possible to prevent seasonal ailments through thermal inhalation treatments. Autumn is the best time to undergo therapies such as inhalations and aerosol treatments, as it helps us prepare and reduces the risk of recurring symptoms. Our thermal water has remarkable anti-inflammatory properties, soothes and cleanses the mucous membranes, and can also increase antibody levels and strengthen our immune defenses.” Are you interested in scheduling thermal inhalation treatments at the Terme di Comano?
