While modern medicine focuses resources and attention on the management of full-blown pathologies, a proven preventive tool, rooted in tradition and recognized by science, often remains in the background: spa treatments. An opportunity that the Terme di Chianciano will once again make concrete starting from 3 April 2026, with the reopening of treatments affiliated with the National Health Service.
A unique water heritage at the service of health
The therapeutic value of the Chianciano Spa lies in the variety and quality of its waters. Holy water is used in drinking cures to rebalance digestive and liver functions; Sillene water is the basis of balneotherapy treatments; Finally, the Santissima water is indicated for respiratory tract pathologies. Three distinct natural resources, each with a specific clinical vocation.
What spa treatments treat
The treatments are effective in a wide range of conditions: digestive and liver disorders, addressed with mineral water treatments and mud therapy; chronic respiratory diseases such as rhinitis, sinusitis and bronchitis, treated with inhalation therapies; joint pain and rheumatic forms, for which mud baths and thermal baths are used; circulatory problems, addressed with specific baths and hydromassages.
Accessible to all, thanks to the NHS
The agreement with the National Health Service makes spa treatments a real right and not a privilege. A complete 12-day cycle – which includes an initial medical-thermal visit and a personalized program – costs just 55 euros as a health ticket, reduced to 3.10 euros for exempt categories. To access it, a prescription from your GP or specialist is sufficient.
Prevention, not just cure
Spas do not intervene only when the problem is already evident: their most valuable contribution is in the prevention and rebalancing of the organism, through a non-invasive approach that integrates spa tradition and medical expertise. This is the philosophy of the Institute for Health Medical Center of the Terme di Chianciano, a center dedicated to integrated medicine, prevention and rehabilitation – where taking care of yourself becomes a path, not an emergency response.
