Treatment of respiratory diseases in Luhačovice – what science says
Luhačovice is the Czech Republic's only spa town specialised in respiratory diseases, treating conditions including COPD, asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, voice disorders and post-COVID syndrome. Treatment centres on inhalations and drinking therapy using Vincentka mineral water, rich in iodine, sodium and hydrogen carbonates, combined with respiratory rehabilitation and climatotherapy.
Why Choose Luhačovice for Respiratory Conditions?
Luhačovice is the only specialised spa town in the Czech Republic focused primarily on respiratory diseases. This is due to the unique composition of local mineral waters — particularly Vincentka — rich in iodine, sodium and hydrogen carbonates, which have proven effects on respiratory mucous membranes.
Which Conditions Are Treated in Luhačovice?
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Mineral water inhalations and respiratory rehabilitation demonstrably improve lung ventilation and reduce the frequency of exacerbations. Recommended stay duration: 21–28 days.
Bronchial Asthma
Spa treatment combines inhalations, respiratory rehabilitation and climatotherapy. In both children and adults, it leads to reduced medication consumption and improved quality of life.
Chronic Bronchitis
Vincentka inhalations dissolve mucus, regenerate mucous membranes and facilitate expectoration. Drinking therapy supports overall metabolism and immunity.
Allergic Rhinitis and Sinusitis
Inhalations and nasal irrigation with mineral water reduce mucosal swelling and decrease reactivity to allergens.
Voice Disorders
Teachers, lecturers, singers — professions dependent on voice. Inhalations and drinking therapy in Luhačovice regenerate vocal cords and laryngeal mucous membranes.
Post-COVID-19 Conditions
Post-COVID syndrome with persistent respiratory difficulties — respiratory rehabilitation and inhalations help restore lung capacity.
Treatment Methods
Mineral Water Inhalations
The foundation of treatment. Fine mineral water aerosol penetrates deep into the respiratory tract, where it dissolves mucus, regenerates mucous membranes and has anti-inflammatory effects.
Drinking Therapy
Regular consumption of Vincentka (2.5–3.5 dl twice daily on an empty stomach) supports metabolism, digestion and overall body regeneration.
Respiratory Rehabilitation
Physiotherapist-led exercises focused on proper breathing, strengthening respiratory muscles and increasing lung capacity.
Climatotherapy
Stay in the favourable climate of the White Carpathians — clean air, low dust levels, optimal humidity.
Carbon Dioxide Baths
Improve blood circulation, lower blood pressure and support overall regeneration.
