The whole world is almost unique Harkány water of 50-70 m depths, average, 62 0C temperature reaches the surface. Mineral content of more than 1,000 mg per liter. Medical point of view, the most important minerals in the 2 monovalent compounds, the karbonszulfid (COS), which form the gas dissolved in water under pressure. The effluent water from the pressure freed immediately begins to decay, is transformed into hydrogen sulfide gas, which gives a characteristic smell. The minor grains high water elemental sulfur pool is clearly visible in the sidelights. 1 liter is around 12 mg quantities of thermal water in the karbonitszulfid. Moreover, this compound has not previously been known in the 1860s discovered the chemical analysis of water.
Body, the structure of articular cartilage molecules are involved, which is an important element in the divalent sulfur. The locomotive 90% of patients with degenerative arthritis and - spinal disease. Especially in weight-bearing joints: hips, knees, ankles hyaline cartilage are going to ruin. Mechanical overload (high weight), clinical symptoms, increased pain, swelling, limitation of movement - has been forthcoming. The repeated recovery of cartilage forming sulfur compounds, the replacement play an important role in the body per sulfur, which has proven to be built into the cartilage.
