The drinking cure

If you want to feel the positive effect of mineral water on your own skin, there are some simple rules that you need to keep in mind. At first, don’t drink too much of water from one spring – the ideal amount of one kind of water is around 2 dcl (buy a tasting tumbler – it has an appropriate size) and you can repeat the cure three times per one day only. There are some springs drinkable also in larger quantity – for example the water from Rudolf, Ambrož or Antonín is drinking as a common water. But even in this case the amount of drinked water should not be larger than one liter per a day.
