SULFUR SPRING, MARINDOQUE


   Sulfur Spring is situated in Malbog, Buenavista, Marinduque, beside the dormant volcano, Mt. Malindig. The Spring is composed of three different pools: the kiddie pool, the pool for the adult, and the pool where the sulfur spring can be found. From the spring, the water flows straight to the other pool. Sulfur, based on the traditional medicine, is believed that it can be used for medical skin treatment most especially for psoriasis, eczema, and acne. The mechanism is not yet 100% proven, although elemental sulfur acts as a mild reducing and antibacterial agent. And because of this, local residents and tourists, goes there to experience the soothing experience of the spring.
