Mineral waters

Those wonderful mineral waters, which are inviting on end to taste them, make a long journey in the deepness, until they come up to us. How do they arise?

The water itself begins his divine circuit in form of precipitation, and through the fissures of the earth, impregnating the low Charpatian sandstone stratum of the cretaceous age, gets down at the deepness. Of course, you should know, that we are at the structural breakline, which is ranging from the South Harghita until the Charpathian-curve. Nature is sending up the different volcanic gases through this breakline. They turn into a miracle in the kitchen of Earth, after dissolving in the waters of the deep. This miracle is the natural, medicinal mineral water, springing everywhere in this area.

Because this waters and gases are arising from the magma, they have considerable „natural radioactivity”. These waters with natural radioactivity are helpful in metabolism and in every process, which takes place in the body and are certainly the fundament of a healthy life.

A „gőzlő”

The „drinking-fountain” and „bath-fountain” in the region of Sugas was mentioned for the first time in 1792 by doctor fisicus Joseph Benjamin Barbenius (at the end of the XVIIIth century the main doctor of Háromszék). In the past who desired to make a bath had to dig a hole to collect the mineral waters wimpling freely. Later, as the spa begun to develop, the people built up the springs, they serviced them, moreover, they labeled them: Elisabeth-spring, Salty mineral water, Laczina-spring, Veress Samu spring, Jenő spring, Benkő spring, Eyewasher etc. The curative power of the springs was attested later by experts. It is the most important thing that wise people are using them trustingly, and are coming back up to this days.

It is good to know, that these „arch waters” are joking sometimes. Namely, these fizzy, sour waters consumed cold, before meal, are stimulating the formation of gastric acid and are inducing the appetite, but at the same time, after eating, they turn into alkali status and will neutralize the gastric acid. Therefore, they could cause tympanitis and dyspepsia.
