It's dark rainy day today which makes me think about being warm and snugly.
Hydrotherapy involves the use of water for soothing pains and treating disease. It has been recorded in Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Japanese societies. It languished during the middle ages but regained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries.
It can employ the use of jets, whirlpool, hot tub, or jacuzzi. Europeans discovered Kneipp Treatments, Thalassaotherapy, Balneotherapy to name a few.
A hot bath with Epson salts is an excellent anecdote to everyday stressors. I believe it cures a whole slew of maladies.
Here in Colorado we are blessed with many natural thermal hot springs. My favorite is Strawberry Park Hot Springs near Steamboat Springs; I've posted some photos here.
There are lots of hot springs throughout Colorado with various mineral content, I tend not to like the sulphur springs for obvious reasons : ) with the exception of the Yampa Vapor Caves which are different again as you are not soaking in the water, it just runs through. Spend the extra 50 cents and get the lavender infused wash cloth, a thoughtful add on.
It's good to take time out on your own away from everyone, indulge yourself, feel better today!
