Montepulciano, thermal plants

"Montepulciano" thermal baths contain mineral magnesic-calcic bicarbonate salt bromine sulphureous water, mostly reach in carbon dioxide important for an antiseptic, anticatarrhal, antispastic and antiallergic treatment. Montepulciano thermal baths spring out in St. Albino, a hamlet of Montepulciano, just at 5 km from Montepulciano and 3 km from Chianciano Terme.

Chianciano Terme "Acqua Santa" thermal baths stimulate the bile production in the liver (hydrocholeretic action) and its release through the bile causes the cholecystis contraction (cholecyste-kinetic action), whereas the bile going to the intestine affects the entero-hepatic circle of binary acids.
	Chianciano Terme "Acqua Fucoli" thermal baths increase the bile quantity and flux; they act on the gastroduodenal mucous membrane in an antiphlogistic way and put the diuresis into action.
Chianciano Terme Thanks to their concentration of carbon dioxide, "Acqua Sillene" thermal baths, are used in the gaseus carbon bathing-therapy and in the preparation of the Fango Sillene to be placed on the liver region.
	Chianciano Terme "Acqua Santissima" is suitable for respiratory problems caused by pollution and other environmental factors.

They flow at a temperature ranging from 37 to 43 degrees in springs in a natural state.
"Bagni San Filippo" is a little village where sulphureous-alkaline waters flow at 40慢 and with a thermal fall suitable for natural hydromassages. They stand on the slopes of Mount Amiata at 25 km from Montepulciano.
