The treatments .............................................. the characteristics
The thermal water derives from profound depths, and in relationship to the thermal gradient it increases of
around 1 degree every 33 metres, and through cracks and splits of the earths terrestrial it rises rapidly without
having time to cool down. Really, they are pluvial waters, that slowly penetrating the earths subsoil throughout
a period of 60 to 70 years, they then reach the acquese subsoil and have become by now very rich with
minerals, mainly those that were deposited from the vast amounts of saline from the sea that once covered the area
of the now known Pianura Padana. Other than sulphurous, our springs are known for their chemical
composition, especially sulphur-iodine-bromine; a definition which also highlights the typical elements of the sea
waters. The therapeutic functions of the mud indicated in illnesses related to rheumatisms of arthrosis, are due
to the thermal and chemical composition of the sulphurous waters of the Bollente, utilized also in the inhalation
therapies and in all idro-therapeutic services. The mud allows for a therapeutic treatment and is applied
to the body at a very high temperature, around 48° C, that would be unbearable in a bath of mineral water
that in fact is carried out at 36/37° C.

The clay follows a drying and pulverization procedure and is immerged into maturing pools, and after a long period of being left in contact with the thermal waters it transforms into “mature mud”, therefore therapeutic. This mud best withholds the homogeneity characteristics, plasticity and caloric gradient resulting in the perfect tool for the thermal treatments. We must also be reminded of the thermal rehabilitation applications, for people that have suffered car accidents, accidents in work and sporting traumas, and medical and aesthetic therapies.
