Therapeutic Baths
The traditions of using mineral waters for therapeutic purposes diminished in the United States over the years. Although there are active mineral springs throughout the country, most of them are not associated with medicine as we know it today. In Europe and countries like Israel, Russia, Japan, and Korea, balneotherapy is widely recognized as a therapeutic tool, and research is conducted on the therapeutic use of mineral waters, seaweeds, muds, and salts.
Although the mineral spring at our location is no longer active, our baths in private treatment rooms ranging from simply soaking in warm water with no added ingredients, to specialty signature soaks that might include various salts, moor peat, and essential oils renowned for their therapeutic effects on the mind and body. Specialty salts can be added to enrich your soak with beneficial minerals for an additional fee. Clients may schedule just a bath, or they can combine the baths with other services for therapeutic benefits, particularly pain relief.
