Springs of the Urmanczy bath was analyzed by professor Löbisch of Innsbruck in 1882. The chemical properties of water are similar to those of Rudas Baths and Gellert in Budapest. The curative effect of the water rich in magnesium, calcium and natrium-carbonates with low radioactivity was left forgotten, although the old books mentions it curative qualities. In 1941 Sandor Aba was recommending the use of water internal to treat inflammations of the stomach, intestinal, and respiratory tract. Bath treatments were indicated in the case of rheumatic and muscular disorders, rehabilitations after accidents, chronic gynecological diseases, but for diseases of the nevous systeme (anemia, neurasthenia, stress).
The odorless water of the Urmanczy bath was recomended also for patients suffering of blood circulation disorders, and for whom a warmer water treatment can harm.
The official the procedure for the recognition of the balneological properties of the water is in progress.
The constantly exchanging water of the Urmanczy bath are alimentated from two main springs, the rest of the waters are rising directly from the little pebbles on the ground of the bazines.
