The wide spectrum and abundance of organic components of spa waters in the Carpathian basin and other European regions has been demonstrated by gas-chromatographic analyses. These components may have main role in the therapeutic and preventive mechanisms. Considering the new analytical data, traditional European classification of spa waters based on the quality and quantity of inorganic ions (salts) should be reevaluated. The association of inorganic components and the therapeutic effects is also necessary to reconsider.展开更多

As I- it protects against free radicals and peroxides. This is seen in vitro in decreased depolymerization of hyaluronic acid and increased antioxidant status in human serum, and in vivo in increased antioxidant enzyme activities and decreases of malondialdehyde and peroxides. It could be shown or deduced that balneotherapeutic applications of iodine/iodide have a positive effect on cardiocirculatory diseases, respiratory disorders, some eye diseases (dry eye, cataract, age-related macular degeneration), and other degenerative diseases connected with increased oxidative stress that are also treated by balneotherapy.展开更多
