The thermal water of the Terme di Orte, characterized by a high concentration of mineral salts, has several therapeutic properties that make it particularly beneficial for the well-being of the human body. The main benefits associated with the chemical and physical components of this water are listed below:
1. Silica (15 mg/L)
Silica is an essential element for healthy skin, bones, hair and nails. It promotes cell regeneration and improves skin elasticity, supporting the prevention of wrinkles and skin aging. In addition, it stimulates collagen production, promoting healthy joints and bones, also helping to protect against osteoporosis.
2. Free Carbon Dioxide (599 mg/L)
The high concentration of carbon dioxide gives this water a stimulating action on blood circulation. It is particularly useful for the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases, promoting vasodilation and improving tissue oxygenation. Furthermore, it has positive effects on the detoxification of the body, contributing to the improvement of digestion and to the support of metabolism.
3. Calcium (505 mg/L)
Calcium is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Its abundant presence in thermal water helps strengthen the bone structure, helping to combat osteoporosis and improve muscle health, thanks also to its stimulating action on muscle contraction. Furthermore, calcium is important for regulating cardiac function and blood clotting.
4. Magnesium (88 mg/L)
Magnesium is known for its relaxing and anti-stress properties, proving useful in managing anxiety, muscle tension and insomnia. Its presence in thermal water also has positive effects on cardiovascular function, helping to prevent muscle cramps and improve blood circulation. In addition, magnesium is essential for energy metabolism and nervous system health.
5. Sodium (54 mg/L)
Sodium is essential for the body’s water balance and for maintaining blood pressure. Sodium helps regulate the volume of body fluids, and is therefore important in cases of dehydration or blood pressure changes. However, its concentration in this water is moderate, which favors a balanced and safe action for the body.
6. Sulphates (588 mg/L)
Sulphates are known for their purifying action and their ability to aid digestion. They also have beneficial effects on liver function, stimulating the production of bile and improving the elimination of toxins. These minerals also have an anti-inflammatory action, proving useful in the treatment of joint and rheumatic diseases, reducing pain and inflammation.
7. Fluoride (1,14 mg/L)
Fluoride is an essential mineral for strengthening teeth and bones, helping to prevent tooth decay and maintain good oral health. Its presence in thermal water helps to strengthen tooth enamel and protect against oral infections. It is also useful for bone mineralization, supporting skeletal health.
8. Alkalinity and pH (6,34)
The water has a slightly acidic pH, which contributes to a balancing action of the body, promoting the elimination of excess acidic substances and improving kidney function. Its alkalizing power helps reduce gastric acidity and promote digestion, making it particularly beneficial for those who suffer from digestive disorders such as heartburn and acidity.
9. Fixed residue (1841 mg/L)
A high fixed residue indicates a water rich in dissolved minerals, which promote metabolic well-being and electrolyte balance. These minerals support cellular function and cardiovascular health, and are also useful for strengthening the immune system.
