Your treatment at the Aulus-les-Bains thermal baths

The stay

18 mornings of thermal treatments (baths, showers, mud, massages and twice-daily drinking cures).

dietetics

Metabolic diseases require targeted dietary management (obesity, cholesterol and dyslipidemia, diabetes). A dietitian provides lectures, cooking workshops and individual consultations with personalized follow-up during and after the treatment (coaching: 3 months – 6 months).

Physical activity

Aquagym, cardio-training equipment, mountain walking (OURS markings), etc. Our sports instructor can offer you a personalized program in agreement with the spa doctor.

Sophrology and relaxation

Stress is a factor to consider in metabolic disorders. "Weight loss is also in the mind." Group and individual sessions are available.

Hiking outings and guided hikes

Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon: Free, animated "hiking outings." Every Friday afternoon and all day Sunday (charged and subject to registration): "Guided hiking."

My spa treatment

Remember that a well-tolerated spa treatment does not cause side effects and should help reduce medication consumption.

The active participation of the patient, necessary for the treatment, constitutes the support of another health policy: health education through multi-disciplinary care (physical activities, dietetics, psychological).

New rheumatology accreditation since 2024

The natural mineral water used in the Aulus-les-Bains thermal baths provides clinical benefits for chronic low back pain, knee osteoarthritis and generalized osteoarthritis.

A clinical study adopted by the National Academy of Medicine confirmed these results. The General Directorate of Health therefore granted the spa establishment approval for rheumatology.

The natural mineral water used at the Aulus-les-Bains thermal baths provides clinical benefits for the treatment of rheumatic pain (spinal and polyarticular osteoarthritis, lower back pain, cruralgia, gonarthrosis, inflammatory rheumatism, fibromyalgia, algodystrophy, after-effects of osteoarticular trauma, etc.)

The Aulus-les-Bains thermal baths conducted a study on 96 patients suffering from chronic low back pain. These patients benefited from thermal treatment using hypothermal, sulfated, and highly mineralized natural mineral water. The results revealed a significant improvement in lumbar function and the patients' general health, with good tolerance of the treatments.

According to the study.

*Metabolic syndrome: what is it?

It is a set of physiological signs that increase the risks of type II diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Metabolic syndrome is not a disease in itself, but the identification of warning signs of health problems, sometimes serious, of which the person affected is not always aware. These warning signs are abdominal obesity, high blood triglyceride levels, chronic hypertension, low HDL cholesterol levels, and high blood sugar. When at least three of these risk factors are present according to well-defined criteria, metabolic syndrome is confirmed. Although hereditary causes are sometimes present, metabolic syndrome is more linked, in the majority of cases, to lifestyle conditions (sedentary lifestyle, stress, unbalanced diet).

Metabolic syndrome is very common, particularly in the United States, with nearly one in two people over the age of 60 affected.
It is on the rise and constitutes a real public health issue because it opens the door, most often, to much more serious pathologies, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or strokes. It is also suspected of being linked to certain cancers, of the breast, prostate and colon. Due to the therapeutic virtues of thermal waters, but also by the break in daily habits of life, by the therapeutic education offered to spa guests, the Aulus thermal spa treatment constitutes a relevant response to this major public health issue.

Medical monitoring, thermal treatments, the organization of adapted physical activities and dietary education make it possible to indicate the Aulus cure to children and adolescents who are overweight or in a period of weight change, with or without metabolic complications.
