Procedures
Does the water in Banya help? - a friend of ours from Pleven told us: "Why did Tsar Boris, who had the opportunity to travel around all of Bulgaria and build a house wherever he wished, build his only property with his own funds exactly in Banya? Most probably he did it because of the water, from which he felt great relief, and not for the \"dear eyes\" of the people of Banya!"
Properties of the mineral water
One of the main ingredients in the water is sulphur. Treatment is carried out by soaking. The water is not suitable for drinking. The presence of sulphur is also understood from the specific smell of the water. If you bathe with silver on, it turns black, but afterwards it is easily cleaned with baking soda. If you have wounds on the skin from a recent scrape, they heal very quickly. If you notice white slimy pieces in the pool, this does not mean that the pool is dirty; these are precisely the sulphur. The water is low-mineralized, hydrocarbonate-sulphate sodium, fluoride, siliceous.

Dr. Valentina Motova - neurologist, says:
The water in Banya, Karlovo, treats diseases of the musculoskeletal system and the peripheral nervous system – all joint and spinal column diseases. The water helps people who have had a stroke, as well as those with joint transplants (especially hip joints). The water here has a lower temperature and radioactivity (compared with Pavel Banya for example, where the radioactivity is 10 times higher). This makes it lighter and more tolerable for patients. People with high blood pressure, as well as thyroid diseases, feel well here.
The water and procedures help a lot; the beneficial effect on the mentioned diseases is strengthened by the healing mud from the Banya deposit. Its composition is close to the water that passes through the same layers. But in the mud, besides sulphur and hydrogen, there are many hormones and minerals, such as those put in food supplements for example. The deposit is located next to the sanatorium. More about the mud
Thanks to the resources in Banya the treatment is done in a combination of water and mud. The effect is best when a “bouquet” of 4–5 procedures is applied: with mineral water, mud, physiotherapy, massage and suitable gymnastics. Lye can also be used. Rehabilitation is also very important for people with disc hernia - operated or not, or with problems after fractures for movement. Improvement comes after a minimum of 8–10 procedures.
For the stay to have an effect, specialists recommend that the stay be a minimum of 10 days.
Acquaintances with whom I have spoken after treatment with our water say that they have been to Pavel Banya, to Pomorie, but for the first time they feel so well and their pains stop for about 6 months. It is good for the procedures to be done 2 times a year, at least 10 days.
Which diseases should not be treated in Banya?
all diseases in the acute stage, purulent diseases, venereal diseases, bleeding of various origins, malignant anemia, tumors, tuberculosis, heart diseases with signs of insufficiency, severe paralysis, severe forms of diabetes and Basedow's disease, skin diseases such as scabies, infections, fungi, and others.
Procedures
Besides visits to "Bancheto" and "The Mud Baths" you can also do additional procedures in the two hotels located in Banya such as massage, tangentor, therapeutic mud, lye, pearl bath, therapeutic gymnastics and more types here. It is good to consult the doctors in the hotel about what procedures are suitable for your disease. For the course of treatment to be successful it is necessary to do at least 10-14 baths.
The baths are usually done once a day from 10 to 25 minutes. After the bath the patient must rest 20-30 minutes, and when returning to the room another rest of 1-2 hours, so that the reaction from the bath can calm down. If together with the baths you will also do mud baths, then mud and baths alternate every day, and if there is no mud, every 2-3 days a day of rest is taken. more
The "Kokalcheto" spring
Only from it can the water be drunk. It calms the stomach and helps with nervous stomach, gastritis and others. It has a light smell of sulphur and if it is not pleasant to you, you can leave the water for 2 days, after which the smell disappears. But it is good to drink the water immediately so that its beneficial qualities do not decrease. The temperature of the water and the sulphate ion act on the motor functions of the stomach and intestines. They also have a positive effect on the secretion of gastric juice and bile. The presence of hydrocarbonate and salicylate in the water causes cleansing of the stomach lining. Daily dose 0.800-2000 grams in 4-5 intakes, 1.30 hours before eating.
One day I woke up with terrible stomach pains after I had eaten chicken bites in a tavern the previous evening. I could not stand on my feet. I went to walk my child in the park, where the "Kokalcheto" spring is also located, and I said to myself "Why don't I drink a glass of the water". At the moment when I was drinking the warm water and it was warming my stomach, at the same time my stomach was calming down. And when the glass was finished, it no longer hurt. I could not believe that the severe pain passed so quickly and easily. It does not matter whether I imagined that the water helped me or it really was so - the important thing is that it stopped hurting.
