Janské Lázně has long held a reputation as one of the premier spa destinations in the Czech Republic. Nestled in the Krkonoše Mountains, it also serves as an ideal starting point for sports and recreational activities. In addition to its renowned electroacupuncture treatments—an innovative technique that combines traditional acupuncture with advances in physical medicine and offers hope especially to those with spinal cord injuries—the spa has also embraced the increasingly popular molecular hydrogen therapy.
Visitors to Janské Lázně can enjoy a wide array of experiences, from the spa’s Aquacentre featuring a pool, whirlpools, and saunas, to the famous children’s treatment facility Vesna, as well as stylish hotels and cafés hosting concerts, exhibitions, talks, dances, and markets.
Often referred to affectionately as “Jánky” by returning guests, this spa jewel of the Krkonoše specialises in a wide range of therapeutic services. It is the perfect destination for anyone seeking relief from conditions such as musculoskeletal disorders, post-injury or post-surgery recovery, neuromuscular and neurological conditions, asthma, respiratory issues, paralysis, multiple sclerosis, or oncological diagnoses.
Vesna: A Beloved Haven for Children’s Healing
The Vesna children’s spa facility at Janské Lázně has gained global recognition for its successful treatment of children affected by polio. The local spring water, discovered in 1934, shares similar therapeutic properties with the famous Warm Springs in Georgia, USA—a fact noted by Dr Viktor Sellner, who introduced treatment here in 1935. Vesna’s unique mountain location provides a serene atmosphere ideal for rehabilitation.
A particularly popular offering is the self-funded hydrogen therapy stay using H2 Medical devices. Parents of children suffering from respiratory difficulties often choose this option, and many decide to purchase a molecular hydrogen generator for home use following their visit.
Molecular hydrogen has anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, combats the effects of viral infections, and is the most powerful antioxidant known. Hydrogen-enriched water boosts energy, reduces fatigue, and supports the body in fighting lifestyle-related diseases. The treatment programme includes hydrogen inhalation, full-body bubble baths infused with molecular hydrogen, hydrogen water therapy, and more.
Fast-Acting Hydrogen Therapy
Since January 2023, children undergoing treatment at Janské Lázně have had access to molecular hydrogen therapy using devices from H2 Medical Technologies. “From our experience, parents especially appreciate the reduced frequency and severity of recurrent respiratory infections in their children,” says Dr Pavla Fišerová, a physician on the spa’s rehabilitation team. “Mothers with children in large school groups often report noticeable improvements even during their stay, compared to previous visits. We’ve also seen positive effects on post-traumatic healing.”
Monika Stránská, mother of seven-year-old Magdalénka—who visits Janské Lázně for neurorehabilitation—was delighted by the therapy’s effects. “She inhaled molecular hydrogen twice a day and seemed so energetic. She hardly needed a nap after lunch and appeared happier overall. We’ve tried many intensive programmes elsewhere, but nothing had the same effect.”
A Breakthrough in Paralysis Treatment
Janské Lázně is at the forefront of an innovative treatment approach for patients with mobility impairments: electroacupuncture. This therapy, which combines traditional acupuncture with modern electrostimulation, offers new hope for those with spinal cord injuries and other serious health conditions. It has already brought life-changing improvements to over 700 patients.
By combining acupuncture needles with electrical stimulation, the treatment helps restore the function of damaged nerve pathways—offering significant improvement and a renewed quality of life.
