Therapeutic and injurious characteristics of thermal and sulphurous springs.
The dissolution of underground rocks by water, flowing underneath, makes the water rich with chemical compounds and ions. These chemical constituents with the heat of water, absorbed from the exothermic reactions of volcanic activities, gain the therapeutic properties to human sufferings or vice versa. The general history of sulphurous and thermal springs, their effects and causes are discussed below.
