What are the health benefits of bathing in the hot springs?
I have heard my friends talk so much about going to have a soak in the hot springs. Anytime I go to the spa with one of my friends , all she talks about is how one of her colleague’s skin looks after taking a week vacation to Arkansas hot spring. Does anyone know any other benefits of soaking in the hot springs. How is it different from a hot soak in your bath tub?

According to a number of sources, hot springs and hot pools offer well documented health benefits. One person states that soaking in Mexico’s hot springs cured her arthritis and that psoriasis goes into remission after one day soaking in hot springs. Many people just say their overall well being and health benefit with a stay at a hot springs of Mexico.
There is even a scientific study called Balneology that studies the benefits of mineral waters.

European medical doctors have conducted research into thermal therapy, and have found that:
1. Hydrostatic pressure in the body is increased
2.This results in increased blood circulation and cell oxygenation
3.The elimination systems of the body are thus stimulated, improving the body's capacity to detoxify
4.The body's metabolism is stimulated
This results in improved digestion
3 to 4 weeks of regular thermal bathing can assist in the normalization of endocrine glands and assist the automatic nervous system
