THE PROPERTIES OF OUR WATERS

Sulphur water
It is characterised by a high content of hydrogen sulphide, which has a local anti-inflammatory and anti-catarrhal action on the skin and the mucous membranes and a broader regenerative and boosting action on the immune system.
When used in inhalation therapies, it can prevent rhinitis, rhinopharyngitis, relapsing laryngitis and chronic bronchitis. Sulphurous gas alone is used to treat middle ear diseases such as rhinogenic deafness.
When applied to the skin, it helps relieve symptoms of acne and eczema and remove minor skin blemishes, particularly in patients with oily skin.

Salsobromoiodic water
It is extremely rich in iodine and bromine salts and has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and cleansing effects on the skin and mucous membranes, especially in case of chronic inflammations. It also combats water retention caused by venous and lymphatic stagnation thanks to its anti-edemigenous and vasoactive properties, reduces fibrous retractions and restores the elasticity of periarticular tissues and scars.
When used for baths, it can treat joint disorders caused by arthrosis and is also suitable for motor rehabilitation after traumas to the locomotor system as well as for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs (swollen legs, varicose veins, etc.).
