Sulfide water

The strongest sulphide brine in the world that we use for treatment at the Rehabilitation Center comes from the ‘Malina’ well in Solec Zdrój. According to the classification, it is highly mineralized chloride-sodium water (brine), sulphide, bromide, iodide, boron with the highest content of active sulfur compounds in the world.

High concentration of sulfur compounds

The strength of the impact of balneological treatments depends on the concentration of active sulfur compounds in the water. The use of medicinal water sources containing high concentrations (above 100 mg/1L) of sulfur compounds in the treatment ensures the best therapeutic effects in spa treatment. Like any stimulus treatment, it requires a series of treatments and the therapeutic effects last about a year after the end of treatment.

UNIQUE SULFIDE BATHS IN THE SPA TOWN OF SOLEC-ZDRÓJ

The health resort town of Solec-Zdrój is famous for the world's strongest, highly mineralized healing sulphide water, coming from the ‘Malina’ spring. This unique water, rich in sulfur compounds, is available only in the facilities of Malinowe Hotels.

Chemical composition of sulphide water

Sulfide water from the ‘Malina" spring is characterized by a unique chemical composition which gives it unique healing properties. The main active ingredient is hydrogen sulfide (H2S), but this water also contains other important minerals and elements:

  • hydrogen sulfide (H2S) – the main active ingredient responsible for the therapeutic effect of sulphide water (medicinal properties), sulfides and sulfates - sulfur compounds that support the action of hydrogen sulfide and have a beneficial effect on the body,
  • calcium (Ca) – important for the health of bones and teeth,
  • magnesium (Mg) – crucial for functioning of muscles and a nervous system,
  • sodium (Na) – regulates the body's water and electrolyte balance,
  • potassium (K) – necessary for the proper functioning of the heart and muscles,
  • iodine (I) - necessary for the synthesis of thyroid hormones which increase protein synthesis, regulate metabolism and take part in the process of cell maturation.

The strength of the treatment's impact depends on the concentration of active compounds in the bathing water and the of the absorption surface, i.e. body surface. It is estimated that 10% of the sulfur contained in salt water is absorbed.

The higher the concentration of the solution, the greater its absorption. The use of medicinal water sources containing high concentrations of active sulfur compounds (approx. 120 mg/l) in treatment may ensure better effects of spa treatment. Like any stimulus treatment, it requires a series of treatments and therapeutic effects last about a year after the end of treatment.

Sulfur baths have a long-standing tradition and are valued for their numerous healing properties.

These include: improving the condition of skin, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, detoxification of the body, regeneration and biological renewal, improving circulation, reducing stress and improving well-being, strengthening the immune system.

LOCAL AND GENERAL EFFECTS OF SULFIDE WATER

Local Effects

The effect of bathing on a body begins from the moment of contact of the skin with sulphide water by gently exfoliating the epidermis and then stimulating renewal processes. This action is supported by the bactericidal and fungicidal properties of sulphide water. The local effect also includes stimulation of microcirculation, better blood supply and metabolism of the skin, expressed by a vasomotor reaction - redness, which may last up to about 2 hours after the treatment.

General effects

After penetrating the skin layers, hydrogen sulfide forms polysulfides, which are a physiological component of connective tissue and a substrate for the synthesis of chondroitin-sulfuric acid (a component of joint cartilage) and amino acids (cystine and methionine). Sulfide baths have anti-inflammatory effects by participating in the body's antioxidant defense processes. The effect of this is to reduce pain, reduce swelling and improve joint mobility. A sulphide bath also has a beneficial effect on metabolic diseases and reduces the level of cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid and glucose.

Sulfide water from the ‘Malina’ intake is especially recommended for:

  • Skin diseases: psoriasis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis.
  • Joint diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, arthrosis, degenerative joint diseases, ankylosing spondylitis, discopathy, spine pain syndromes, post-traumatic conditions of the musculoskeletal system.
  • Health prevention: supporting regeneration after sports injuries, improving overall health; atherosclerosis of peripheral arteries (Reynaud's disease, Bürger's disease).
  • Contraindications to the use of sulphide baths: significant circulatory failure, marked heart rhythm disorders, conditions after myocardial infarction, unstable coronary heart disease, unstabilized arterial hypertension, conditions after cancer, chronic inflammation of the liver and pancreas, recurrent phlebitis, pregnancy and breastfeeding.

SULFUR DEFICIENCY in the body

It can be very harmful to health. The easiest way to recognize it, it is by its symptoms: hair becomes hard and falls out, skin loses its firmness and becomes pale, psoriasis appears and nails become brittle. Sulfur deficiency has an impact on human emotional states. When this element is missing in the body, anxiety, fatigue, vision problems and joint problems may occur.

Sulfur can be supplied to the body very easily and effectively through bathing.

SULFIDE BATH: HOW TO PREPARE AND HOW TO USE IT?

A sulphide bath is a special type of mineral bath in which the water contains a high concentration of sulfur compounds. These types of baths have many beneficial health properties, helping to treat skin, rheumatic and circulatory system diseases. To maximize its potential, it is worth preparing for it properly.

Here are some steps worth taking: consultation with a specialist:

  • before starting the treatment with sulphide baths, consult a doctor/physiotherapist;
  • skin preparation: before entering the bathtub, it is recommended to gently cleanse the skin to remove impurities and excess sebum. However, avoid using aggressive soaps or scrubs that may irritate the skin.
  • optimal water temperature: the water temperature in a sulphide bath should be approximately 37-39 degrees Celsius. Water that is too hot may cause skin irritation, and water that is too cold will not bring the expected therapeutic effects.
  • bath duration: it is recommended that a sulphide bath should last 15 minutes. Staying in the water for too long can lead to dry skin and fatigue. relaxation: before and after bathing, it is worth taking a moment to relax.

RECOMMENDATIONS AFTER A SULFIDE BATH

After the sulphide bath, remember a few important steps that will help enhance its beneficial effects and prevent possible irritation.

-gentle drying the skin: after leaving the bathtub, gently dry the skin with a towel, avoiding vigorous rubbing. Sulfur can make skin more sensitive, so gentle treatment is the key.
-avoiding strong detergents: for at least 2 hours after bathing, avoid using soaps and shampoos with strong detergents that may irritate the skin,
-rest: rest is recommended after bathing. You should allow your body to regenerate and absorb the minerals. proper hydration: it is worth drinking plenty of water to support the detoxification process and maintain proper hydration of the skin and body.
-regularity: to achieve the best results, sulphide baths should be used periodically, in accordance with the recommendations of a doctor or physiotherapy specialist.

Sulfur baths are an excellent way to improve your health and well-being. Thanks to a proper preparation and following the recommendations after bathing, you can fully enjoy their beneficial properties.
