Thermal waters, all types and their innumerable benefits
Thermal waters are waters enriched with minerals of the geological formations they encounter in their underground journey. They are therefore of hydrogeological origin and are also formed by the heat of the Earth. Not surprisingly, the volcanic areas are rich in thermal waters. As we have said, there are different types of thermal waters. First, they are distinguished on the basis of mineral concentration that contain. For which we have: oligomineral waterswith a residue not exceeding 200 mg/l; medium-mineral waterswith a residue higher than 200 mg/l and lower than 1 g/l; mineral waters properwith a residue higher than 1 g/l.

These thermal waters are found along the coasts or in places once covered by the sea.
Radioactive waters. These waters contain radon and other natural radioactive elements present in the rocks from which they flow. They are substances present in minimal quantities that should not cause concern and have nothing to do with radioactivity contamination. These waters are rare in Italy and above all have anti-inflammatory and immune system strengthening properties.
