"The external cure with mineral baths is carried out both in the form of baths, in the bathtub or in the pools, at a temperature of 36-37°C, but also in the form of inhalations or aerosols. The main characteristic of the mineral waters in Herculane Baths is the very high concentration of hydrogen sulphide (a maximum of 60 mg/1), the only sulphur compound that is absorbed into the body through the skin, lungs and digestive tract. The sulphur in the bath enters the body through the skin, mucous membranes and the breath. As a result of skin contact with sulphurous mineral water, the peripheral circulation is activated, leading to a decrease in blood pressure, keratolysis and desensitization. This also explains why sulphurous waters are indicated for psoriasis, chronic eczema and allergic skin conditions such as urticaria. At the same time, it is good to know that sulphur has metabolic effects manifested by lowering blood glucose and cholesterol, it intervenes in the metabolism of articular cartilage and restores intra-articular exchanges.

Sulfurous baths are indicated in degenerative or inflammatory rheumatic diseases, abarticular diseases (tendinitis, tenosynovitis, peri-arthritis calcareous), posttraumatic, peripheral neurological, peripheral arterial vascular diseases (ischemic), for the treatment of atherosclerotic obliterating arteriopathy, in patients with balanced diabetes mellitus.
