The natural surrounds and resources wrapping hot or mineral springs belong
to sustainable matter involving governance and strategic planning of public
health, environment, welfare, tourism and mining sectors. Noted it, through the
current Brazilian policy demand: social thermalism/hydrotherapy/crenotherapy selected
like complementary alternative medicine (CAM) by health ministry law MS 971/2006
(PNPIC), hydro-thermal therapy qualifying DNPM (MME Ordinance 127/2011 and MME
337/2002), health and wellness tourism formally oriented by tourism ministry and
environmental management groundwater resources (Resolution MME / CONAMA
396/2008 and MME / CNRH 107/2010). Whereas as fresh potable reserves or
potential mineral aquatic strategic deposits, the main biologically active
components (BAC) were identified, with their minimum levels needed to related health
benefits. Similar to conventional mining prospection, these “cut off grade” detection,
at natural occurrences from Brazil, was the major goal in this work. The bibliographic
systematic review allowed identify the main bioactive substances (BAC) related
to springs sources of elements enougth or proven as health beneficial and at which
indications. Wards after, it was performed a georeferenced database with these
same variables (BAC) from Brazilian springs. Overlays all through thematic maps
assisted in geographical and geological evaluations, whereas, at the end, statistical
comparisons filtered target selection at all. The total 60 possible natural BAC
and its minimum values for efficacy globally reviewed and established were detected
at least one BAC occurrence from 703 mineral springs at 525 Brazilian cities.
The arguments utilized were important in demonstrating the abundant and diverse
existence of this endowment, where its potential health applications are
virtually unknown today.
