sulfur bath

Volcanic spring treatment

A sulfur bath is a therapeutic soak in water containing dissolved sulfur compounds, typically at natural hot springs or spas.

The mineral-rich water supposedly relieves skin conditions, arthritis, and muscle pain: The resort advertises its sulfur baths as a cure for eczema.

The water often smells of rotten eggs due to hydrogen sulfide.
