In Europe physicians used to prescribe the cure to patients to relieve such ailments as rheumatism, arthritis, and skin irritations, of course this would depend on the springs’ mineral content.  A whole science was born of using spa therapies as part of medical treatment, and in fact for centuries was taught in medical schools in Europe.
