SPA & MEDICINE

Nature has generously awarded Jurmala with unique medicinal resources. Jurmala is a balneal-logical and a climatic resort – here you can find both healing mud, as well as a mild maritime climate combined with the pine forest air rich with phytoncides.

Here, the subsoil hides sulfureted, bromide and sodium chloride mineral water, which has created large underground reserves of therapeutic peat, and you can find precious sapropel mud in the lakes.

Jurmala is known as a medical resort since the late 18th century, when the research of folk medicines such as hydrogen sulfide springs, peat and sapropel mud allowed to set up the first healing institutions in Ķemeri.
