In northern Bali, the Banjar Hot Springs (Air Panas Banjar, or Air Panas Banjar) are the most famous thermal spas. Locals know about these pools for several hundred years, but the infrastructure began to be rebuilt only in the 40s of the last century. Then the healing effect of water rich in sulfur compounds was discovered. Now the place is popular both among tourists and among the Balinese themselves

Banjar thermal springs appeared due to volcanic activity. Water that flows from the deep bowels of the earth is saturated with minerals and heated to a temperature of 37 ° C, which contributes to better dissolution and assimilation of trace elements. Most of it contains sulfur, its concentration is 26%. Near the springs you will immediately feel the specific smell of hydrogen sulfide, which confirms their natural origin

In addition to sulfur, sources are rich in the following elements:
- Radon (inert gas with weak radioactivity)
- Iron
- calcium
- Magnesium
- Manganese
- Zinc (its concentration is especially high)
The combination of these minerals favorably affects the entire body!
