THERMAL BATHS

Casamicciola Terme has been famous for centuries for its Thermal waters. Three principal basins - the Gurgitello, the Cotto and Sinigaglia, along with the basin Rita - feed the numerous existing sources. Owing to the chemical-physics characteristics, the waters of these sources are classified as chloride-sodic-bicarbonate-alkaline and, for their elevated temperature, which reaches 70 degrees, are told hyper thermal. You can be used for balneation and mud-bath therapy, anthrotherapy, inhalations, atomization, aerosol, humages, nasal irrigations, vaginal irrigations (according to the cases) in the treatment of a lot of illnesses of various organs and apparatuses.

Along with these components, as it happens in pharmacology, they produce a ''synergism for expansion',' or better a phenomenon in which the final action of a product in which different components get involved is greater than the mathematical sum of the actions singly practiced by each one.
