Bursa in western Turkey, Monticelli outside the gates of Parma, Italy, and Digne-les-Bains in southern France have something in common.They are the locations of sulphur springs, which promise vacationers a particularly healthy experience. Sulphur usually is employed today in the form of thermal baths. The beneficial, pain-killing and anti-inflammatory effects on the body are due to many factors.

"The warming effect of the water is increased through the hydrogen sulphide. This is clearly visible in the reddening of the skin."
The muscles throughout the entire body relax and the body’s connective tissue is more flexible. The blood vessels widen, the pulse and metabolism increase.
