O2 bath
During the activity of massage jets the air is being pushed into the water through many holes, and thereby it leads to the creation of thousands of bubbles. Air bubbles are evenly spread in water, they settle on the surface of body and deliver the oxygen into the skin pores; joints are relaxed, both perfusion and transmission of heat into the body are increased. The cleaning effect is caused by the fact that air bubbles flowing around the body catch the particles of impurities and dead cells of the skin.

Sulphur bath
Sulphur bath is characterised mainly by penetration of sulphides from mineral water into the skin, which creates the deposits of sulphur in the skin. From there the sulphur gradually penetrates into other structures of connective tissues (ligaments, cartilages, tendons etc.). This bath has curative effects and it is recommended especially in the treatment of rheumatism, in digestive disorders, allergies and skin diseases, especially psoriasis. Moreover, sulphur has favourable effects in the treatment of asthma and other respiratory diseases. Sulphur baths are of great significance in the treatment of joint diseases. This is due to a fact that the structures containing sulphur are reduced precisely on the damaged cartilage. However, the therapy using heat is suitable only after the inflammation recedes, i.e. during chronic phase. The bath has generally relaxing and calming effect. The temperature of mineral sulphur bath is usually 36 – 38 °C (exceptionally up to 40 °C); it lasts 20 minutes (sometimes it may be reduced to 15 minutes by a medical doctor).

Initial sensation of cold is altered after 10 seconds with the sensation of pleasant warmth. The water must not be stirred or whirled excessively, and the patient should stay without any movement in order to prevent excessive accumulation of CO2 above the water surface. Such bath decreases blood pressure, improves heart function and perfusion of organism. The bath lasts from 15 up to 20 minutes and it is followed by a dry wrap up to 15 minutes.
