Medicinal water is a natural mineral water with proven therapeutic effects. In 1925, as a result of deep drilling, thermal water at a temperature of 75°C emerged from a depth of approximately 1,100 meters. Analyses revealed that the water contains iodine, bromine, sodium chloride, and bicarbonate. Studies have also shown that the water contains bitumen and associated estrogen, as well as various trace elements such as titanium, vanadium, copper, zinc, silver, strontium, barium, and lead.
The “Hot Gold” of Hajdúszoboszló
According to researcher Dr. János Bodnár, “the medicinal water of Hajdúszoboszló can be considered unique of its kind; no other water with a similar composition and temperature is known.”
According to balneologist and university professor Dr. Zoltán Dalmady, “…from a physical chemistry perspective, a particularly interesting feature of the waters of Hajdúszoboszló is that their concentration and composition are relatively close to that of human tissue fluids. It is especially noteworthy to compare it with seawater baths, as the water of Hajdúszoboszló is essentially the revived spirit of Triassic seas. Due to its salt content, it can be considered approximately five times diluted seawater; however, it differs from seawater in its lower magnesium and calcium content and its significant bicarbonate content. Despite this, it can be used just as effectively for therapy and recreation as any other seawater bath with a similar concentration.”
