Hot springs therapy has been extensively studied by balneologists all around the world. The key point of their studies was determination of the therapeutic value of mineral waters and other components of hot springs. It's a common knowledge that hot springs contain many minerals that's why they are often recommended above different other methods of therapeutic uses.

Before we pay attention to the sources of heat, it's necessary to have a clear idea about the hot springs. These are springs developing when the rain or melted snow waters come down into the ground. Then this water sinks deeply into the Earth and warmed by one of the sources of heat contained in the Earth's interior. Hot springs are known to be developed when the upwelling water rises along some fractures (for example, faults) and flow out onto the surface.
