Discover the Magic of Terme di Saturnia’s Healing Waters
For over 3,000 years, thermal waters have surged from deep within the earth at the heart of Terme di Saturnia.
These waters, flowing at a consistent temperature of 37.5°C, are known for their profound healing properties. Rich in sulphur, carbonic, and other essential minerals, they offer a myriad of benefits such as stimulating the basal metabolic rate, reduce water retention, reactivate the capillary circulation and increase hepatic cell activity with a consequent lowering of blood sugar levels, an increased production of bile required for the digestion of fats and a reduced intestinal absorption of cholesterol.
Drinking the water on an empty stomach enhances digestion and alleviates gastrointestinal issues. Additionally, its exfoliating and antiseptic qualities naturally rejuvenate the skin, leaving it softer and healthier.
Saturnia’s thermal water contains a unique blend of sulphur, carbonic, sulphate, bicarbonate, and iron-rich minerals. Its high sulphur content provides numerous health benefits:
- FOR THE BODY, it acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals and prevent damage caused by oxidative stress.
- FOR THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM, it promotes vasodilation of the skin’s blood vessels, improving circulation and lowering blood pressure.
- FOR THE LIVER, the water offers protective and detoxifying effects, aiding in the body’s natural cleansing processes.
- FOR MUSCLE AND JOINTS, it has both muscle-relaxing and anti-inflammatory properties, relieving tension and reducing pain.
- FOR THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, the carbon dioxide content encourages deeper breathing and enhances lung function by increasing ventilation.
The Power of Thermal Plankton
Formed over 40 years underground, the thermal plankton in Saturnia’s waters is a natural treasure. Enriched with minerals such as potassium, sulphur, and magnesium, this plankton boasts exceptional anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and regenerative properties.
Its effectiveness and tolerability have been demonstrated at the most prestigious Italian university centres. Radical-scavenging activity tests were conducted on this seaweed and its extracts, and they proved to be antioxidants.
A Rich History in Wellbeing
Legend has it that Saturn, the god of peace and abundance, grew frustrated with humanity’s endless conflicts. In his anger, he struck the earth with a thunderbolt, causing hot, sulphur-rich waters to erupt and flow across valleys and plains, calming human spirits. This marked the beginning of a golden era focused on agriculture, hunting, and love.
The history of Terme di Saturnia dates back to Etruscan times, and over the centuries, it has gained fame as a wellness destination. Roman soldiers once bathed in its healing springs, and in 1454, the Saturnia Baths received official recognition. By 1865, the Ciacci family transformed the area into a spa facility, and in 1919, Gaspero Ciacci opened the first hotel.
Today, Terme di Saturnia has evolved into a luxurious 5-star resort, featuring an award-winning spa, cutting-edge medical treatments, and a GEO-certified golf course, all set amidst 120 hectares of untouched natural beauty.
