When I think in hot springs, the moment in a spa and relaxation come to my mind. Hot springs can do more than help us to avoid stress.

Why can't we spend a good time, while we relax and also we do a favor to our health? If you have the opportunity to enjoy hot springs, it may be a good idea to take it.

Types of thermal waters:

There are two types of thermal waters according to their geological origin:

Magmatic: Are born from metal or eruptive veins, and usually have temperatures above 50 ° C. The most commonly elements found in them are arsenic, boron, bromine, copper, phosphorus and nitrogen.

Telluric: can be generated anywhere, its temperature rarely reaches 50 ° C and, because they are filtered, they have fewer mineralization than magmatic. They usually have bicarbonates, chlorides and lime salts.

An important feature is that the hot springs are charged with negative ions. However, this does not mean they have negative effects on our body, in fact, positive ions are the ones that don't bring benefits to the human body, as they are irritating, while the negative ions have the ability to relax the body.

Health Benefits

There are many benefits that hot springs bring to our bodies, however, according to some authors, they can be classified as biological, physical and chemical, but in reality all act together.

Note that the temperature plays an important role, since the body temperature rises, killing germs, including viruses. It helps to improve circulation and oxygenation of the body, as it increases the hydrostatic pressure of the body.
