Legend tells us that Hercules found relief from his Seven Labours thanks to the waters from the Imerese Spa (ante litteram). Relief is improbable as the precious and beneficial liquid is of the hypothermal volcanic (42° C) kind, chlorinated and containing saline-bromine and iodic substances.But of myths we do not require scientific rigor. Instead, the Imereses Spa owes a lot to science because from the mysterious underground waters a very modern centre has been raised to take advantage of the therapeutic aspects of the waters.The waters and muds are particularly indicated for bone joint and respiratory aliments.
