| In addition to having a relaxing effect on your body and mind, the Pagosa Hot Springs has some incredible healing properties in our waters. |
Hydrotherapy (water therapy) and Balneotherapy (mineral water therapy) are becoming more popular and recognized throughout the U.S., even though the Native Americans were well versed in their healing properties hundreds of years ago.
Hydrotherapy has a myriad of obvious health benefits like treatment of sore muscles, back pain, insomnia, and arthritis, to surprising health benefits like treatment of diabetes, stress, weight loss, and heart failure.
Hot water strengthens your heart by invigorating blood flow and cooling your body down. It promotes circulation ridding your body of toxins and stimulating your immune system.
Hot Springs rich in Sulfur and Sulfates are used to address a wide variety of conditions, including skin infections, respiratory problems, and skin inflammations.
Mineral springs naturally rich in chlorides are considered by some researchers to be beneficial for rheumatic conditions, arthritis, central nervous system conditions, posttraumatic and postoperative disorders, as well as orthopedic and gynecological disease.
Magnesium (Magnesia) converts blood sugar to energy and promotes healthy skin.
Sodium and natural salts assist with the alleviation of arthritic symptoms, and may stimulate the body's lymphatic system when used in baths.
