The ultimate self-care treat, hot springs are mother nature’s spas. Not only they are gorgeous, but they are also extremely good for you. We know that Japan has a wonderful tradition of using hot springs to improve health, but countries closer to us have been using thermal water to improve health for centuries as well. In Italy, for example, thermal baths are used as a complement to modern medicine to cure a vast range of health issues, from respiratory problems to osteopathic issues. Thermal baths cures are not only suggested but even covered by social security – just like ‘common’ medications!

Once again, the Ancient Romans had everything figured out. 

The benefits of hot springs include relieving muscular aches and pains, detoxing the skin and improving circulation. There is even a dedicated branch of science called Balmeology – a method of treatment of disease by bathing – that studies the benefits of thermal water and its minerals on peoples’ health.
