As
recorded by Herodotus, Ancient Greeks are the first to use hot springs for
their healing powers (13th century B.C.). Those hot springs belong to the
hot radioactive Alipigon category, and are highly radioactive as M.
Petertses noted during his 1936-1938 research. Those hot springs
apparently cure muscle problems, breathing problems, blood circulation
anomalies, gynecological problems, urine related problems, skin problems
and others. |
