Musculoskeletal conditions
Mud baths
A mud bath consists in applying a sludge, i.e. a blend of clay + thermal waters, right on the skin and muscle tissues at 45-50°.
It is left on the affected areas for about 20 minutes, then rinsed off in a thermal bath for about 10 minutes at 35.7°.
This treatment has proved to be effective against chronic rheumatic and joint diseases, including multiple forms of arthritis, gout syndrome, sequelae of traumas from sprains and/or strains.
Vascular diseases
Hydro-massage and/or ozone bath therapy
Hydro-massage is a thermal technique where the patient stays for about 20 minutes in a bath filled with thermal waters at 35.7°, rich in carbon dioxide that improves peripheral vasodilation, thus boosting vein blood flow. This is combined with an underwater massage performed by skilled staff (spa operators). It is indicated in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, post-thrombotic syndrome, varicose veins, pathologies of the capillaries, venous stasis with peripheral oedema.
Ozone bath therapy is a bathing technique that involves 20 minutes’ of bathing a day and is ideal in the treatment of varicose symptoms complicated by phlebopathic or diabetic ulcers.
This is due to the healing and disinfectant properties of ozone.
The thermal therapies can be completed using a lymphatic drainage massage on the legs that is particularly effective against primary and secondary lymphedemas.
Psoriatic conditions
Mud bath therapy
The mud bath therapy is conditional on a dermatological examination in order to select the most appropriate treatment (mud or bath), length and, if needed, to add ozone to the bath.
Respiratory and airway condition
Inhalation therapy
The waters of Terme di Casciana can be inhaled by aerosol to effectively treat all oropharyngeal pathologies, such as sinusitis, rhinosinusitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheitis, and especially to increase the immune response in children.
The waters can be inhaled through the nose or mouth by aerosol or as warm and moist steam, in this case to treat chronic pharyngitis and laryngitis.

Tubal disorders
Tubo-tympanic inhalations
In this specific disorder, a thermal treatment with waters of Casciana is supplemented with waters of Tabiano (strongly mineralised sulphur water) in order to solve tubal obstructions in adults as a complication of flu or in children suffering from adenoids.
Hepatobiliary conditions
Drinking water treatments
Waters rich in sulphate, bicarbonate and calcium can be helpfully used in the treatment of toxicosis of the liver as a consequence of food poisoning or drug overdose, and in the treatment of biliary dyskinesia, with the sulphate ion acting as a hepatoprotector. They can also be effective against hypercholesterolemia.
