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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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 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.
Treatments use sulphide water with a concentration of approximately 130 - 150 mg of sulfur compounds per liter. Thanks to modern, efficient mechanical ventilation, the concentration of hydrogen sulfides in the treatment room does not exceed 4-6 mg of H2S in 1 m3 of air, and it is constantly monitored using appropriate sensors. During the procedure, both the guests' complete safety and comfort are maintained. Thanks to the indicated properties, sulphide water from the ‘Malina’ intake is valued in spa treatment, offering natural and effective support in the treatment of many diseases. Regular use of this water in a form of baths, inhalations or compresses can bring relief from many ailments and significantly improve the quality of life.
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.
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:
-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.
