Baden and its waters have been a source of heath for over two thousand years. The Celts, and later the Romans, praised the warm waters that rise from the depths at around 47°C. But what is it that makes it so special?
Switzerland’s most mineral-rich water
With a total mineralisation of around 4,450 mg/l – or 4.6 g/l – Baden’s thermal water is the most mineral-rich in the entire country. For comparison: the thermal water of Bad Wildbad contains roughly 0.7 g/l of mineralisation, and even famous Baden-Baden reaches only about 3 g/l. In terms of mineral content, Baden is in a league of its own.
On its 4,000- to 12,000-year journey through the rock, the water becomes enriched with calcium and sulphates, as well as sodium, chloride, magnesium, fluoride and many other trace elements.
What the minerals do for your body
For the musculoskeletal system: The warmth widens the blood vessels, boosts circulation and relaxes the muscles. Baden’s water has traditionally been used for rheumatic complaints and wear-and-tear in the joints. Furthermore, magnesium plays a central role in muscle and nerve function.
For the skin: Our skin absorbs minerals, such as calcium and sulphates, which have a soothing effect. The warm bath also stimulates the skin’s metabolism.
For stress & nerves: The water is said to have a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system. The combination of warmth and calm helps you to let go – slowing down in the truest sense of the word.
A treasure at our doorstep
What has been rising from the deep for over two millennia can hardly be enjoyed in a hurry. The water wants you to stay and to immerse yourself – in the warmth, in the history, in the moment. That is exactly what BLUME. stands for: since 1421, it has been a place to arrive, to breathe and to thrive.
