Hot springs are a rich source of sulphur and other minerals. This, combined with the heat of the water, results in calming effects on the mind and body, as well as tension-reducing, painkilling healing powers that have been used for thousands of years and are widely accepted as natural treatment options for various common ailments. The healing benefits of sulphur include the relief of skin disorders and irritations such as eczema, psoriasis, and rashes caused by allergies. A soak in these bubbling hot waters is known to increase circulation and stimulate the immune system. It will also help your body relax, which benefits many aspects of your health, including sleeping patterns and nutrient assimilation. The relaxation promoted by the heat and buoyancy of the water also helps increase the range of motion of your muscles and joints, making the soaking beneficial for those suffering from arthritic pain. People with bronchial disorders also claim the combination of the steam and minerals provides breathing relief. Bali has no shortage of therapeutic thermal waters, which bubble up in hot upwellings, and have long been revered by the local people.
