Several ways Thermal (hot) Moor bathing can help:

* Thermal moor baths increase the temperature of the body, thus killing harmful germs and viruses.

* Thermal moor baths increase hydrostatic pressure on the body, thus increasing blood circulation and cell oxygenation. The increase in blood flow also helps dissolve and eliminate toxins from the body.

* Thermal moor bathing increases the flow of oxygen-rich blood throughout the body, bringing improved nourishment to vital organs and tissues.
* Bathing in thermal moor water increases body metabolism, including stimulating the secretions of the intestinal tract and the liver, aiding digestion.

* Repeated thermal moor bathing (especially over 3- to 4- week period) can help normalize the functions of the endocrine glands as well as the functioning of the body's autonomic nervous system.

* Trace amounts of minerals such as carbon dioxide, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, and lithium are absorbed by the body and provide healing effects to various body organs and system. These healing effects can include stimulation of the immune system, leading to enhanced immunity; physical and mental relaxation; the production of endorphins; and normalized gland function.

* Thermal moor baths contain high amounts of negative ions, which can help promote feelings of physical and psychological well-being.

* The direct application of hermal moor water (especially those containing sulfur) can have a therapeutic effect on diseases of the skin, including psoriasis, dermatitis, and fungal infections. Some moor waters are also used to help the healing of wounds and other skin injuries.
