The region of West Bohemia boasts of abundance of mineral springs. The mineral springs date back to the period of Tertiary volcanic activity. 60 mineral springs rise in the area of Karlovy Vary, namely lukewarm and hot springs. From time immemorial people have used especially hot springs.

All Karlovy Vary mineral springs rise in a fault line of aragonite slab in the valley of the Teplá river, which intersects as axis in this line. The fault line includes the area from Parkhotel Richmond as far as the Park colonnade.

Karlovy Vary springs are of natural ionic solution containing dissolved carbone dioxide. The main dissolved subsances are sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium, further sulphate, chloride and many other mineral substances in a small quantity up to trace quantity. The whole volume of mineral substances is approximately 6.4 g/l and the contents of carbone dioxide is between 560-980 mg/l. Karlovy Vary mineral springs differ only a little, especially in the contents of trace elements. Mineral springs differ mainly in temperature and in the quantity of gaseous carbon dioxide. Especially temperature influences the quantity of dissolved minerals. Cold mineral springs (under 50 °C) have more diarrhoeic effect, hot springs have the opposite effect.

Peat is another natural healing resource. Its thermophysical properties are mainly used for one-time peat wraps or peloid baths. Peat retains heat for a longer period of time than other mediums, and therefore they are applied to areas where there is a need to increase local blood flow to relieve tension and subsequent pain.
