What are the benefits of hot springs?

Hot springs are good for your health. But how?

What are the minerals in hot springs, and how do they help our bodies?

The water in hot springs emerges from below the Earth’s surface.

So, the water within the hot spring has been underneath the Earth’s surface for many, many years. As many as 10,000 years. Because it’s been underground for so long, the water has absorbed all of the mineral components from the ground, and the minerals and salts of the earth permeate the water.

The Mornington Hot Springs contain magnesium, potassium, boron and sodium. Taking some time out to enjoy hot springs is not only a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but it also treats your body to a detox. But how?
