Bath Treatments

Soaking in bubbly, mineral-imbued water may nourish joints and bones, clear up skin conditions, reduce respiratory and circulatory problems, and melt away tension and pain. Mineral baths soaks are a unique healing resource from Nature.

Much of the research on the therapeutic elements of mineral bathing, known as balneotherapy, comes from Europe. A recent Hungarian study found that soaking in sulphur spring water may ease lower back pain; a 2001 report from the Israel Medical Association Journal concluded that bathing in the Dead Sea improved symptoms in patients with psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia, and a 2000 investigation at the University of Vienna Medical School indicated balneotherapy's potential value for people with high blood pressure.

For all of the Bath Treatments, you will be relaxing in a soothing heated hydrotherapy Jacuzzi tub, with a bath pillow tucked under your neck. You may pick from the following treatments: ($35 for Bath Soak alone, or $20 when you add soak to any other treatment.)
