“…Water cures are very common and strongly embedded in European cultures (France, Italy, Germany, Hungary). The core of balneotherapy has been defined by Gutenbrunner as the ‘use for natural mineral waters, gases and peloids (including packs that are local applications of peloids), often in resorts (Spas)’ which are located next to the sea (Dead Sea) or thermal sources in European countries . The therapeutic use of mineral waters sourced from trapped oceanic waters (Dead Sea, Tiberias waters) and other locations, like Vichy water in France, has been evaluated as beneficial by the Cochrane Library.…”

OBJECTIVE: Thermal spring waters (TSW) are commonly used as active ingredients in cosmetics. Their biological activities directly depend on the ionic composition of the spring. However, in order to exhibit beneficial properties, the minerals need to reach viable skin layers. The present study addresses the incorporation of marketed TSW in model cosmetic formulations and the impact of the formulation on skin absorption of magnesium and calcium ions that are known to improve skin barrier function. METHODS: Marketed TSW was introduced into five formulations. Liposomes were prepared using saturated or unsaturated phospholipids mixed with cholesterol by the thin layer evaporation technique. Emulsions water-in-oil (W/O), oil-in-water (O/W) or double: water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) were prepared by high-shear mixing. Skin absorption of Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ from those formulations was studied in vitro using static Franz diffusion cells under infinite dose condition and under occlusion of the apparatus. RESULTS: Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ penetrate skin samples from TSW. Encapsulating TSW into double emulsion (TSW/O/W) increased skin absorption of both cations of interest and kept the Ca 2+ /Mg 2+ ratio equal to that of TSW in each skin layer. The dermal absorption of Mg 2+ from the double emulsion departs from both single emulsions. Application of liposome suspension improved the skin absorption of Ca 2+ while keeping constant that of Mg 2+ , leading to unbalanced Ca 2+ /Mg 2+ ratio inside skin. CONCLUSION: The beneficial effects of TSW are not only due to their action on the skin surface. Their active components, especially Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ cations, reach viable skin layers in a formulation-dependent manner. The distribution of ions inside skin depends on the type of formulation. 248

“…Mineral medicinal waters are commonly used for the treatment of chronic dermatoses, mainly atopic dermatitis and psoriasis which are often associated with skin dryness and pruritus, increasing the quality of life and compliance in patients . The most used in dermatological thermal treatments are the sulfurous and the chlorided bromo‐iodic waters , the sulfated hypotonic ones or even bicarbonate magnesium rich in fluoride .…”

“…Estudios previos han encontrado resultados prometedores en enfermedades reumatológicas como artritis reumatoide [3] , lumbalgias [4] , fibromialgia [5] , y enfermedades dermatológicas como psoriasis o dermatitis atópica [6] . Asimismo, el tratamiento de diversas afecciones por medio del uso de aguas termales fue considerado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud, como un recurso a tener en cuenta en la mejora del bienestar y la calidad de vida de pacientes con enfermedades crónicas [7] .…”

“…En Puno se encuentra el complejo de aguas termominerales de San Antonio de Putina, que incluye las aguas termales: Huayna Putina, Libertad, Wenceslao Molina, El Ruedo y Vidal Lama. Estos recursos son clasificados, según los análisis de INGEMET, en el grupo de aguas cloradas, con pH neutros (6,(5)(6)8) y temperaturas que oscilan los 36-51 °C [11] ; además, son empleadas por su municipio con fines turísticos, por lo que son ampliamente conocidas por la población en general [14,15] . Un estudio previo, que clasificó estas aguas como sódicas, cloruradas y sulfatadas, determinó la presencia de actividad antioxidante; y la ausencia de toxicidad a los 14 días de administración [16] .…”

Objetivo: Determinar la toxicidad a dosis repetidas durante 28 días de la ingestión por vía oral, del agua termal de San Antonio de Putina-SAP-(Puno), en un modelo murino. Materiales y métodos: Diseño experimental, se utilizaron diez animales de experimentación, de cepa Holtzman, los que fueron divididos en dos grupos de cinco cada uno: un grupo de estudio, al que se le administró en forma repetida, agua termal traída de SAP, en una dosis de 1000 mg/kg en un volumen de 2 mL/100g; y un grupo control, agua potable esterilizada en el mismo volumen. Se realizaron observaciones clínicas diarias, determinación semanal del peso corporal, y después de 28 días, se procedió con el estudio histopatológico de órganos (corazón, riñón, hígado y pulmón) y la determinación de parámetros hematológicos y bioquímicos; previo sacrificio de los animales de experimentación. Resultados: No se produjeron muertes (DL50> 1000 mg/kg) ni alteraciones permanentes de signos clínicos. Se observó aumento de peso, sin diferencias estadísticas entre los grupos. Los resultados hematológicos y bioquímicos reflejaron ligeras variaciones no significativas entre grupos, pero dentro del rango de la normalidad. No se observaron alteraciones histopatológicas. Conclusiones: No se encontraron signos de toxicidad aguda ante la administración de agua termomineral de San Antonio de Putina (Puno) en dosis repetidas por un periodo de 28 días.
