Groundwater is of such high quality because it has been filtered through layers of rock and minerals before rising to the surface, enriching it with minerals and trace elements. Thermal waters in Switzerland are often rich in sulphates, bicarbonates, sodium and calcium, among other minerals. These minerals have therapeutic properties. They can relieve joint pain and stiffness, improve blood circulation, and help heal certain skin diseases. Swiss thermal waters also have bactericidal properties that can help clean wounds and prevent infections.
