Neuquen Hot Springs in Copahuefrom the slopes of the eponymous volcano, They are recognized nationally and enjoy an international reputation because of its healing power. The good news is that medical hydrology experts have now analyzed Caviahue Lake18 kilometers from there, and Determining which water can also be used for different treatments.
“Which we brag Before doing the research, it was The lake contains a certain concentration of minerals that may be beneficial. We confirmed this by classifying them through medical hydrology. he told enthusiastically Dr. Ana Monasterio is a general practitioner in the field of medical hydrology. She was part of a team of researchers from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Research (Conicet) and the National University of Comahiro (UNCo) that conducted the assessment in March.
Samples collected in March
«What we can say is that the temperature of these waters is very low, that is, very low. It is an acidic liquid containing elements such as iron, sulfate, magnesium, chlorine and calcium. This makes it useful in dermatology and joint treatment. “This will have a beneficial effect on recovery, which is why in the future it could be used for the purpose of preventing or restoring different conditions due to its regenerative capabilities.” Experts introduce in detail.
Within this scope, Caviahue’s water “can be used to treat skin diseases and bone and joint diseases. Basically, for everything that has to do with regeneration, whether it’s tissue or bone.«.
Therefore, investments are made to build adequate infrastructure in the future «Water from the mouth (from Lake Kaweahu) can be used for soaking or topically (in contact with the skin) to take advantage of its therapeutic properties. But obviously with doctor’s advice beforehand. This must always be supervised and have a working agreement. It’s not ‘I come, I shower and I make money’, it’s all broader,” the doctor said.

Monasterio also praised the quality of heat therapy. «Thermodynamics or medical hydrology has a different approach than traditional allopathic medicine, because first of all we use nature as a therapeutic resource. To this, we also add a comprehensive approach with a wellness philosophy for individuals. This includes biopsychosocial well-being. Our goal is to use natural resources to unlock benefits through temperature or the occurrence of hormones and neurotransmitters,” he explains.
In the case of Copahue Hot Springs, treatments are carried out in facilities located in a unique landscape, which adds an advantage based on the stimulation generated by the beautiful surroundings.
«This works on our psyche. It affects our mood because it affects the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. There is research work that has demonstrated these effects. Some neurotransmitters are released, such as beta-endorphins, which give us balance, stability, and happiness. The woman expanded.
«In addition, we have “another leg” related to social well-being. Very few people are alone when soaking in hot springs. Typically, you will go with family, a group of friends, or meet with another person who is going through the same treatment. and “This leads to sharing and socialization, which is very positive for our biopsychosocial well-being.” Professionals explain.
The growth of geothermal tourism
Potion Literature Experts Are Satisfied Over the years, thermal tourism has experienced growth both at the national level and regionally. He believes that broadening the scope of the public, which previously focused mainly on the elderly, now includes different age groups.

We have mud, algae, steam…this doesn’t happen anywhere else.
This water contains minerals such as iron, chlorine, sulfate, calcium, bicarbonate and sodium, all of which are necessary for cell regeneration. That is why it is considered to have mineral medicinal properties and comes from the slopes of the Copahue volcano.
Stucco is also used in healing, it is extracted from the bottom of sulfur lagoons and is used for mud treatments, masks and healing as it restores tissue. It has healing, exfoliating, antibacterial and astringent properties, which is why it improves skin elasticity and tone.
