Hot Springs & Minerals
The natural hot springs, over 4,000 years old, have long been a destination for healing and rejuvenation. Due to their high temperatures, direct bathing isn’t possible, but the water is carefully cooled and channeled into the historic bathhouses nearby.
In the early 1900s, these bathhouses were a natural way of living, drawing people from all walks of life—U.S. presidents seeking rest, and even notorious gangsters looking for respite. The springs’ renowned therapeutic properties and timeless allure made them a haven for restoration.
Soak Up Mineral Properties
Hot Springs’ thermal waters have been renowned for their healing properties for thousands of years. Each mineral found in these waters plays a unique role in supporting your body’s wellness and rejuvenation. Here’s a closer look at the therapeutic minerals you’ll experience during your bathhouse treatments:
Silica
Silica is known for its skin-soothing properties, promoting collagen production and giving your skin a radiant, youthful glow. It’s ideal for softening skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Calcium
This essential mineral supports bone health and muscle function. When absorbed through the skin, calcium can help soothe muscle tension and promote relaxation.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a powerful anti-inflammatory and stress-relieving mineral. It aids in calming the nervous system, easing muscle cramps, and improving sleep quality.
Bicarbonate
Bicarbonate acts as a natural detoxifier, helping to balance the pH levels in the body. It also has a cleansing effect on the skin, making it feel refreshed and purified.
Sulfate
Sulfate supports joint health and detoxification. It is commonly used to relieve joint pain, improve circulation, and flush toxins from the body.
Carbon Dioxide
The presence of free carbon dioxide in the water enhances blood circulation, helping to oxygenate the skin and tissues. This results in a revitalized appearance and an overall sense of well-being.
When soaking in mineral-rich thermal waters, your body absorbs nutrients, which helps soothe the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and relieve stress. This replenishment supports the body's ability to shift from a state of tension into relaxation, making it easier to restore inner calm and resilience. At the Healing Waters Retreat, these minerals offer a powerful tool for nurturing the nervous system and enhancing overall well-being, especially in today’s overly productive world.
Beyond the physical benefits, the bathhouse offers moments of mental and emotional stillness. It’s a time to disconnect from the outside world, quiet the mind, and immerse yourself in a peaceful, restorative environment.
