Chianciano Terme: a town with thermal baths is a municipality in the province of Siena, Tuscany, Italy. In the 5th century BC the Etruscans built a temple dedicated to the god of Good Health close to the Sillene springs where the town stands today. During Roman times luxurious Roman villas were built near the thermal baths. Today, the town is considered among the finest health resorts in Italy especially with its therapeutic water that is reputed to cleanse the liver via an increase in the production and excretion of liver bile. Among the more notable spas are Acqua Santa, Acqua Fucoli, Acqua Sillene, Acqua Santissima (which also advertises itself as a spa for those with respiratory problems), and Acqua Sant'Elena (which advertises that the calcic-alkaline bicarbonate in its water can treat kidney and urinary tract problems).
