ABSTRACT
In the literature relevant knowledge is available about the properties and physiological effects of CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>S. Both gases penetrate the skin easily and increase microcirculation of the skin. Additionally, effects on thermal receptors (CO<sub>2</sub>) and pain perception (H<sub>2</sub>S) have been demonstrated in several trials. Other effects of H<sub>2</sub>S refer to a modulation of immune cells. From this knowledge indications and contraindications may be derived. However, there is a need for prospective controlled trials to prove the efficacy of such treatments. Future directions and perspectives of research using these balneological remedies will be discussed.
