Abstract

Povezanost čovjeka s prirodom i ljekovitim čimbenicima očituje se kroz povijest. Prirodni ljekoviti čimbenici povoljno djeluju na zdravlje, kakvoću života, te liječenje, od različitih bolesti. Prema naravi dijele se u klimatske, morske i topličke (balneološke). U medicini razlikujemo, prema vrsti upotrebljavanih čimbenika, tri načina liječenja: klimatoterapiju, talasoterapiju i balneoterapiju. Termomineralna voda je prirodna voda koja u jednoj litri sadrži više od 1g mineralnih tvari i/ili plinova kojih nema ili ima znatno manje nego u običnoj vodi i na izvoru ima temperaturu višu od 20°C. Balneoterapija se koristi u rekreaciji i zdravstvenom turizmu. Balneologija i lječilišna medicina u Hrvatskoj imaju bogatu tradiciju. Medicinski turizam idealan je spoj medicine i turizma. Zdravstveni turizam, kao grana turističke djelatnosti koristi prirodne ljekovite čimbenike u svrhu očuvanja i unapređenja zdravlja i kakvoće života. Hrvatska obiluje prirodnim resursima koji predstavljaju veliki potencijal za razvitak zdravstvenog turizma na moru i u kontinentalnom djelu. Danas ih ima više od 220, a u njih 104 nalaze se izvori prirodnih termomineralnih voda. S obzirom na promjene načina života, te sve duži životni vijek, povećava se važnost medicinskog turizma. Znatan poticaj razvitku zdravstvenog turizma daju različite medicinske i ne medicinske institucije koje su prepoznale vrijednosti prirodnih ljekovitih čimbenika u posjedu Republike Hrvatske.

Abstract (english)

Relationship of man with nature and its healing properties has been strong through centuries. Natural therapeutic factors have positive effects on the conservation and improvement of the health and the prevention and treatment of patients with various diseases. They can be divided in climate, sea and spa (balneological) factors. Balneology, thalassology and climatology study the natural healing factors and the methods of their application to the human body. There are three types of treatment: climatotherapy, thalassotherapy and balneotherapy. Thermomineral water has more than 1g mineral supstances and temperature higer of 20,0°C. Balneology and health medicine in Croatia have a rich tradition. Balneotherapy is combination of health tourism and recreation. Health tourism uses natural healing factors and methods of physical medicine in order to preserve and improve health and quality of life. There are 222 places with natural healing factors in Croatia, and 104 of them are thermomineral waters. Croatian medicine and health tourism operates in 18 of them. A significant impetus to the development of medical tourism in Croatia gave various medical and non medical institutions that have recognized the value of natural healing factors in Croatian possession.
