See Mystical Fire On Water, Ocho Rios Jamaica

Above is a rear and mind-boggling natural spa in Ocho Rios, St Ann. This well-kept secret abounds with natural sulfur with spectacular flames dancing on its surface. It is said to have healing properties due to the high concentration of sulfur, a natural disinfectant constituent of certain vitamins.

Balneologists (scientists who study the therapeutic effects of baths and bathing) believe that hot springs rich in sulfur address a wide variety of conditions, including skin infections, respiratory problems, and skin inflammations.

They also believe that sulfates (i.e. sulfur compounds) have a far reduced "sulfur" effect as compared to sulfur-rich springs. Such waters are often prescribed internally for liver and gastrointestinal conditions, as well as for some respiratory conditions with inhalation therapy, in European spas.
