Benefits of hot mineral water

The most obvious benefit, and apparent right away, is the relaxation you get from sitting or lying in hot water.  It relaxes your muscles and joints, and eases tension.   Other benefits are relieving pain, better circulation and relief of some skin conditions. Then there are the benefits of the minerals that are in the water.  Each common mineral has some different benefits, including

Boron strengthens bones and aids in brain function

Calcium promotes healthy bones and overall health

Sodium is an electrolyte that plays a vital role in enzyme operations and nerve and muscle function

Sulfate relieves pain and is essential for maintaining healthy skin, hair and nails

Lithium elevates the mood and produces a sense of calm

Potassium is vital for heart and kidney health

Fluoride is excellent for the health of bones and teeth

Chloride helps regulate blood pressure and pH in the body

Magnesium increases energy levels

Manganese contributes to healthy bone growth

Iron is vital for blood health and increases resistance to disease

Zinc boosts the immune and digestive systems

Phosphate is critical for energy storage and metabolism

Silica is a known cure for thinning hair

Nitrogen is another element that’s good for skin, hair and nails

Besides absorbing these minerals though your skin, I increase the absorption levels by drinking a couple cups of the water as well. You can usually get it from a pipe at the source of the pool, or at some places, they have the water cooled down and available in coolers or some drinking containers so you don’t have to drink the water people are soaking in.
