Hot springs are more than just a fun way to hang out with friends. They can be a way to improve your health as well.

Let's find out how.

Pain and stress relief:

Over 20% of the population experience chronic pain.

Most hot springs have mineral-rich waters containing things such as calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, which are absorbed through the skin and help to ease muscle and joint pain. The tranquil surroundings and hot water promote natural relaxation and stress relief.

Skin health: 

Skin diseases are the 4th most common cause of human illness.

Those same minerals can help with psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. Add to this that soaking in hot water helps remove dead skin cells and impurities, and you are on your way to smoother, healthier looking skin.

Detoxification: 

Chemicals that are bad for our health surround us.

Once again, the minerals in the water have detoxifying effects. Hot springs also help to improve circulation, helping to flush the body of toxins while also bringing healthy nutrients and oxygen to the cells. The heat causes the body to sweat, which is another way the body purges itself of toxins.

Next time you have a chance to visit a hot spring, I hope you take it.

Enjoy your soak! 💧
