Unique of its own thermal water

It is Pávai Vajna Ferenc, a distinguished geologist, the 'father' of the Hungarian thermal water, who is to be thanked for finding this wonder of nature that has been sewing mankind for more than seventy years now.

Dr. János Bodnár, director of the Institute of Medical Chemistry studies at the Medical University of Debrecen wrote about the thermal water found in Hajdúszoboszló like this "... According to our analysis this water, containing iodine, bromine and salt is unique of its kind. Considering the findings of the chemical analysis and the very high temperature of the water we can state ... this water is unique and on the basis of the analyses available - there is no water that is similar to it. "

According to balneologist Dr. Zoltán Dalmady "... concerning physical chemistry the Hajdúszoboszló thermal water has a very interesting feature. In its concentration and composition it is quite similar to the composition of human tissue fluids. It is especially remarkable compared to seaside spas, since the Hajdúszoboszló thermal water is nothing but the conjured up spirit of the Triassic age seas. Considering its salt content it can be regarded as diluted sea water, but it still differs from sea water because it has a low magnesium and calcium content and at the same time has a significant amount of hydrocarbonate in it. Nevertheless it is still very good for medical cures and for recreational purposes, just like any other seaside spa with a similar concentration."
