tartalom: + 1 After 220 years of medical experience and research, the Traditional Hévíz Therapy became a trademark of Hévíz in 2015. The therapy consists of three basic and four complementary treatments using the healing properties of sulphurous magnesium carbonate water. Experts have recognized that a significant part of the hydro, movement, physio- and electrotherapies of the Traditional Hévíz Therapy is suitable for the treatment of certain problems of the Post-Covid syndrome. In addition, the mineral content of Lake Hévíz, the evaporating water and the climatic effect of the 60-hectare Protective Forest surrounding the lake are also very effective in achieving the healing effect. The Post-Covid Care programme will work on the model of the already proven Traditional Hévíz Therapy. Patients arriving in Hévíz with post-Covid-19 symptoms will receive professional and personalised treatments in the comfort of a hotel, under medical supervision. The programme and the quality of the treatments will be identical, regardless of which Hévíz location the patient chooses.   THE PROCESS OF POST COVID CARE EXAMINATIONS AND TREATMENTS IN HÉVÍZ The specialists in Hévíz try to alleviate or, if possible, eliminate the symptoms of Post-Covid syndrome, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle weakness, concentration and psychological problems. The patient's condition is assessed before arrival using an online questionnaire, and a full medical examination is available before the treatment starts, either at the hotel or at a local private clinic. The specialists aim to put together an individualised treatment programme, as Post-Covid symptoms vary considerably from patient to patient. If the severity of the symptoms indicates it, they may even recommend a hospitalisation different from the programme. The Post Covid Care tests and treatments are designed and supervised by rheumatologists, internists, cardiologists, dieticians and mental health professionals with decades of experience. After the results of endurance, muscle strength of the main muscle groups, oxygen saturation, cardiological and laboratory tests, the recommended treatment programme for the patient is drawn up. Depending on the results, the intensity and frequency of the exercise will also be decided. The duration of the Post-Covid Care treatments varies depending on the severity of the symptoms but is at least one week. The treatments aim to achieve the best possible recovery and fuller rehabilitation as far as possible without the use of medication and with a targeted treatment plan (active movement therapy, passive treatment methods and other physiotherapy techniques). In Hévíz, the hotels offer a wide range of treatments, such as therapeutic massage, electrotherapy, physiotherapy, gymnastics, breathing exercises with chest mobilisation, diaphragm exercise, inhalation, spa treatments, static and dynamic balance, proprioception development, water gymnastics, salt cave, stretching, mental hygiene guidance, dietetic advice, aromatherapies, etc. The climatic environment surrounding Lake Hévíz is an excellent place for outdoor exercises, such as Nordic Walking, walking, yoga or cycling, all of which help recovery.   AIM AND LOCATIONS OF POST-COVID CARE TREATMENTS The Post-Covid Care programme is currently available at five locations in Hévíz: Lotus Therme Hotel & Spa, Hotel Europa Fit, NaturMed Hotel Carbona, Hotel Palace Hévíz and Hotel Spa Hévíz. Participants in the programme aim to use their expertise and as many tools as possible to help people recovering from Covid-19 disease to end the symptoms that persist and affect the quality of life. They believe that their expertise, Hévíz's unrivalled facilities and the comfort of a hotel can work together to help patients make a full recovery as quickly as possible. Detailed information about the Post Covid Care programme can be found on the website of the town of Hévíz: www.heviz.hu

tartalom: + 1 Unfortunately nowadays we are exposed to various chemicals and environmental impacts. Mainly our hands suffer the most from these impacts. Paraffin treatment is recommended for the treatment of dry, chapped and stained hands. The treatment starts with a hand wash, which is followed by rubbing. After the removal of the devitalised epidermic cells, the skin absorbs easier the lotion used during hand massage. The next step is dipping the hands in warmed up paraffin, which sticks to the skin and the hands are covered in a plastic bag and gloves. Guest is relaxing for about 20 minutes in the wrap. After that the gloves together with the paraffin are removed. Finally the hands are covered in skin-protection lotion. The treatment does not only treat the skin surface, but the active agents are also absorbed by deeper layers of the skin through the pores thus increasing blood circulation and oxygen supply of the tissues. The word paraffin comes from the composition of the Latin words of parum and affinis. Paraffin may be liquid, gas or solid. In clear format it is solid, odourless, colourless, white material with a waxy touch. Melting point is around 47 to 64 °C.

As a first step the medical status check states the complaints of the guest and general health status of patient is checked. Based on the results of the above a physician designs the complex physiotherapy program. A duration of minimum 2 weeks is recommended when using complex Hévíz treatments. During the treatment, if necessary a continuous medical supervision is provided in order to monitor the changes to the patient’s status and the treatment is also finished with a status check carried out by a physician.   Bath types: Hydroxeur bath Carbonated bath Four-section galvanic bath Electric bath Alternating bath Bath reaction (bath nausea) Bath nausea may happen if patient is overloaded with treatments. Usually on the 5th to 7th day of the incorrect complex physiotherapy treatment the patient’s condition deteriorates. Therefore it is important to compile a therapy by a physician, furthermore continuous monitoring and control is recommended in order to avoid bath nausea. Too many and too frequently applied treatments are not always the best option, patients must leave enough time for the body to relax and recover in between treatments.

cím: Winter wellness tips for seniors in Hévíz

lead: + 3 When winter arrives in Hévíz, relaxation takes on a whole new meaning. Warm thermal waters, gentle wellness treatments, and a peaceful atmosphere create the perfect setting for rest and regeneration. For senior guests, Hévíz in winter offers a unique balance of comfort, health, and tranquility.

tartalom: + 1 There is something truly magical about winter arriving in Hévíz. The air turns crisp, steam rises from the lake, and the town slows down a little… and that is exactly what makes it so special. For senior visitors, Hévíz becomes one of the most relaxing destinations at this time of year: warm thermal waters, peaceful walks, and wellness in every form. Here are a few tips on how to make the most of a winter getaway in Hévíz! 1. Steaming thermal water – winter at its best If there is one place where winter and wellness are a perfect match, it is Lake Hévíz. The contrast between the warm water and the chilly air is relaxation in itself. Bathing sessions of 20–30 minutes are ideal in winter: they warm the body, ease muscle tension, and are gentle on the joints. Tip: In the morning, the lake is even calmer and more peaceful, creating a truly intimate atmosphere. 2. Winter spa treatments – when your body warms up too Winter is especially beneficial for warm therapeutic treatments. At this time of year, massages, mud therapies, and weight bath treatments somehow feel even more effective. Among senior guests, favorites include pleasantly warm medicinal mud that helps the body relax, indoor physiotherapy sessions led by experienced professionals, and underwater massage for those seeking a little extra pampering. A multi-day spa treatment can work wonders, especially for joints tired from the winter cold. 3. Indoor wellness – when you feel like staying inside all day Hévíz’s wellness hotels are a true refuge in winter as well: adventure pools, whirlpools, steam cabins, infrared saunas – everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing day indoors. Especially recommended for senior guests: Infrared sauna, as it provides gentle, joint-friendly warmth Steam cabin, ideal if the dry winter air irritates the respiratory system Quiet relaxation pools – in many hotels, mornings feel almost like having the place to yourself 4. Pampering in a winter atmosphere: Quiet wellness – aromatherapy and relaxation In winter, Hévíz seems to have a different scent: more spicy, calmer, more cozy. This atmosphere pairs perfectly with seasonal wellness treatments: lavender or citrus aromatherapy circulation-boosting foot massage hydrating facial treatments to protect the skin from the cold Each treatment feels a bit like a mini wellness celebration. 5. Sauna, done wisely – gentle yet refreshing In winter, the sauna can feel like paradise, but it’s important to enjoy it the right way. A senior-friendly approach: start with an infrared sauna if you choose a Finnish sauna, stay for 6–8 minutes skip the ice plunge – a lukewarm shower is enough rest for a while before returning The secret is a slow, calm rhythm. 6. Staying active in winter – gently and safely Instead of long walks, winter is the perfect time for softer, joint-friendly forms of movement: water gymnastics in an indoor pool gentle or modified yoga spine-strengthening exercises a short, easy walk around the lake on flat terrain 7. Short winter walks – when the town shows a completely different side In winter, the steaming waters of the Hévíz Stream turn the town into an almost fairytale-like setting. As the warm water meets the cold air, a delicate mist settles above the stream, making every walk a special experience. The walkways around the lake are easy to stroll along even in winter, and thanks to the unique microclimate, it is often warmer here than in other parts of the town. Not only the steaming stream is a breathtaking sight – Hévíz’s built heritage is equally charming in the winter season. Recommended pace: shorter walks with frequent breaks. The steaming water, quiet streets, and slow rhythm create a truly idyllic winter atmosphere. 8. Winter cultural moments – warm indoors, magical scenery outside Hévíz offers plenty of cultural experiences even in winter, all comfortably enjoyable despite the cold. If you feel like taking a break from wellness, the season invites you to cozy indoor programs such as exhibitions, local concerts, charming cafés, and of course Hévíz’s cultural events. Current programs This combination of wellness + culture works especially well for senior guests, offering relaxation and inspiration in perfect balance. 9. Light winter dishes – warm yourself from the inside, too Hévíz restaurants offer plenty of winter dishes that are warm yet easy to digest. Hot soups, light fish dishes, vegetable-based meals, and steaming poultry specialties are especially comforting during the colder months. Local restaurants usually pay special attention to wellness guests, offering lighter menu options as well. Many places in Hévíz also provide sugar-free, lactose-free, and light alternatives. Tip: It’s worth choosing lighter meals made from local ingredients. And after a good lunch, it’s time for a relaxing afternoon rest! Hévíz is at its most intimate in winter – the perfect place if you’re looking for physical and mental renewal. Snow-covered Hévíz is quiet, cozy, and deeply restorative at the same time. The warm thermal water, healing treatments, indoor wellness facilities, and atmospheric winter walks create a combination from which senior guests can benefit especially well. And one thing is certain: those who experience the “winter Hévíz feeling” once often become returning visitors.

lead: Talk with Med. Veronika Moll, whose father developed the Hévíz weightbath therapeutic method.

tartalom: + 1 Med. Veronika Moll - Head physician, rheumatologist, specialist in physiotherapy “In our family, curing is a multi-generational tradition. I did not even think about choosing another profession. My parents also worked as rheumatologists in Hévíz. My father, Dr Károly Moll created the flow map of Lake Hévíz and invented the weight bath. My mother, Dr Ilona Hoffmann was the first female rheumatologist of Hévíz bath, therefore this world was not unknown to me even as a child. I like my profession because it is really varied. As a rheumatologist, I have to take into account the results of many fields of expertise and background areas from orthopaedics to internal medicine. Behind a symptom can be a number of causes that need to be thoroughly mapped, so personalised treatments work extremely well. Most of our guests returning after a year say they were totally symptom-free in the period between the two treatment courses. It is also not uncommon that prosthesis surgeries already appointed can be avoided by using the Traditional Hévíz Therapy.”     TRADITIONAL HÉVÍZ THERAPY What problems can help Hévíz, and the Traditional Hévíz Therapy? Back, neck and spine pain Joint degeneration and calcification e.g. knee, hip, shoulder, wrist complaints Problems with muscles and ligaments After-treatment of rheumatologic, orthopaedic, musculoskeletal surgeries and accidents Prevention and treatment of ‘manager diseases’ Sports injuries The basic elements of the Traditional Hévíz Therapy: Bathing in certified medicinal water Medicinal mud wrap or a Hévíz mud bath Weight bath – based on the invention of acclaimed rheumatologist and Hévíz resident, Dr Károly Moll. Additional elements: Therapeutic massage, movement therapy, physio- and hydro-therapy, drinking cure Why are Hévíz therapies special?

lead: Already ancient civilizations were using plants with essential oil content: for healing, during religious ceremonies, for beauty care purposes, for seduction or embalming

tartalom: + 1 Aroma-therapy cabin, music therapy cabin Already ancient civilizations were using plants with essential oil content: for healing, during religious ceremonies, for beauty care purposes, for seduction or embalming. In the middle of the 19th century it was acknowledged that the medicinal effect of essential oils cannot be supplemented by anything else.   During sauna treatment in an aroma-therapy cabin the air of the cabin with varying temperatures is aromatised by using essential oils. Essential oils may have various relaxing or refreshing effects.     In the aroma-therapy cabin essential oils are inhaled or penetrate the skin and have their beneficial effects: prevent the spreading of bacteria and fungus; clear the respiratory passages; stimulate the blood supply of the skin and muscular tissue, thus alleviate pain and inflammation; beneficial for the digestive and secretory organs and they have a relaxing effect. Major reason for using essential oils is that they have a positive effect on our soul and emotions. Essential oils release emotional and mental blockages instantly.   Application forms of essential oils: Aromatic cabin/sauna: means entire body inhalation. Dry inhalation: inhalation directly or by dripping the essential oils on a tissue. Inhalation: carefully selected essential oils are dropped in hot water and they are inhaled together with the steam. Aroma-therapy packs, bolstering: essential oils are applied on the skin, which are mixed in body lotion or soaked herbs are placed on the given body part. Aroma-therapy therapeutic massage: unites the positive effects of essential oils and massage. Aroma-therapy therapeutic bath: in the aroma-therapy bath essential oils shall always be mixed with some kind of dissolvent (cream, milk). Evaporation: use few drops of essential oil in water, increase the water temperature and as a result of heating, the essential oil will evaporate to the air. Internally: there are strict rules for using essential oils internally. Their application is only allowed in small and controlled quantities, meaning only a few drops a day and only by using a mediator substance (which can also be sugar, alcohol or tea).     Major components: Alcohols, aldehyde, phenic acids, esters, acids and terpene. These components join together in a unique way; all essential oils have a complicated setup.   Sauna treatment in the cabin can be boosted by playing pleasant music. This is called music-therapy cabin. Low relaxing music and the essential oils completely loosen up the body and the soul. Those who do not like the quietness of the sauna cabin are recommended to use the music-therapy cabin.   Essential oil and Effect Lemon: vitalises, beneficial for the digestive process and skin conditionsJasmine: refreshing, anti-micro bioticChamomile: relaxing, for insomnia, stress and anxietyLavender:  relaxing, antiseptic, for insomnia, burns and woundsMint: relaxing, antisepticOrange: refreshing and vitalisesSandal: for respiratory disorders, dry skin condition and eczemaVanilla: loosening and relaxing
