Some information about the most famous Thermal Park Tettuccio

Terme Tettuccio is one of several spas set in a park inside the town of Montecatini Terme. The name Tettuccio refers to the little roof found over the spa's source when the spa was being built to its modern configuration.

Terme Tettuccio doesn't do massages, baths, or other treatments associated with the other thermal spas found in Montecatini Terme. Here it's about drinking the waters.

Four sources are "served" at the spa:

• Leopoldina Waters - "indicated for the treatment of cronic constipation. Normal bowel function is generally restored whenever treatment cycles are spaced at 4/6 month intervals."

• Regina Waters - "restores a regular bile flow from the liver to the bowels and are useful in the case of hepatic an bladder disorders."

• Tettuccio Waters - "effective in the depurative process of the liver, and can help reduce cholesterol levels."

• Rinfresco Waters - The "diuretic waters favor the process of waste elimination through the urinary system as well as the restoration of normal saline levels after prolonged sports activities."
