A small town located less than 200 km from Budapest, famous for its balneological impact on the human body, is Heviz (Hungary).

Heviz Water - Additional Benefits
Heviz water can be drunk, and it helps in some deviations of the urinary and digestive systems. We immediately specify: doctors avoid such appointments, these diseases are not included in the specialization. But there is no doubt the healing qualities of water from Lake Heviz (Hungary). Treatment is described in many sources.
The unique healing properties of lake water were known in the Middle Ages. The resort itself, it can be said, was formed at the end of the 18th century, when Heviz (Hungary) began to gain fame. Treatment then became available to the few guests of the local count.
Do not forget that the water in the lake is still intended for treatment. Bathing in it for long hours is categorically not recommended even to the most healthy person. If there are no chronic diseases and simply poor health, you can spend a maximum of one and a half hours in a pond. If there are deviations in the work of any organs, bathing is regulated by the doctors of the sanatoriums of the city of Heviz (Hungary). Treatment, like staying in water, in this case depends on the type and severity of the disease. And do not neglect medical advice!
