“Water cures all your diseases, water does wonders, prevention is better than cure” – it is the unique health philosophy that in 19th century was created and developed by the Bavarian priest Sebastian Kneipp and which is followed by the Birštonas Health Resort. Hydrotherapy by Sebastian Kneipp strengthens the whole organism, trains both your body and soul, strengthens your immune system. The holistic health enhancement by Sebastian Kneipp is based on a 5-element system: water therapy, motion therapy, herbal therapy, harmony therapy and healthy nutrition. Following Kneipp’s recommendations, Birštonas has established “KNEIPP’S GARDEN” for cold water hydrotherapy procedures and for giving a boost to the immune system.

It is the only Mineral Water Evaporation Tower in Lithuania, where you can enjoy extremely healthy “sea effect” air. Local residents of Birštonas and the visiting holidaymakers alike have the opportunity to experience the curative effects of the open-air inhalations, strengthen the health and train the bodies at a brand-new tourist object providing light therapy.

In the town’s central park that is located right in front of the Eglė Sanatorium, there is a mineral water evaporation tower with a mineral water fountain and a salt gallery. The mineral water flowing through the evaporator walls that is exposed to the sun and wind, evaporates naturally, so in the tower itself and within a radius of 50-80 meters around it you may breathe in the curative air with “sea-effect” that saturated with minerals that do a wealth of good to your health.

Such curative air, that is enriched with mineral water drops, has the same effect as the inhalation of sea air. To the evaporation tower mineral water is supplied from the “Rūta” mineral water well.

The air with “sea effect” emitted by a vaporizer makes for a harmonious synergy of the rehabilitation procedures performed at Birštonas sanatoriums and the Birštonas Spa natural factors, which will together add up to an enhanced overall effect of the treatment and restore the patients’ health and fitness more quickly. Inhalations of salt-saturated air are beneficial not merely for patients with various respiratory diseases, but they also have a positive effect on the skin – when exposed to mineral water your skin becomes smoother, more elastic and more radiant. In Birštonas your nerves will also be calmed down and your overall wellness will be improved by meditation when observing the running water.
