Bathing in our natural hot springs helps to sooth and relax the mind and body, relieves stress, and assists in both the detoxification and remineralization of the body.
- Benefits of Arsenic - While arsenic in larger doses is toxic in the human body, minute amounts may assist the body with plasma and tissue growth.
- Benefits Boron - Boron builds muscle mass, increases brain activity and strengthens bones.
- Benefits of Magnesium - Magnesium converts blood sugar to energy and promotes healthy skin.
- Benefits of Potassium - Potassium assists in the normalization of heart rhythms, assists in reducing high blood pressure, helps to eliminate body toxins and promotes healthy skin.
- Benefits of Sodium - Sodium and natural salts assist with the alleviation of arthritic symptoms, and may stimulate the body's lymphatic system when used in baths.
Alkaline water that is high in calcium, magnesium, and potassium may assist the body in cleansing through the skin.
The Tecopa hot springs water PH level is between 7.4-7.6 ( measurements taken at Delight's Hot Springs Resort and Correlated with tests taken at the Inyo County Facilities with a Hanna Instruments Digital PH Meter, tests conducted on 3 seperate days Spring/Summer 2004 ).
The Tecopa hot springs water, when combined with the naturally occuring smectite clay ( bentonite ) found in the region, becomes more alkaline by a factor of 10. When the mixture is taken to colloidal state, the PH level of the colloid with minimum particle dispersion measures 8.7. Minimum particle dispersion was achieved by adding small amounts of natural clay to the water until actual colloidal suspension occurred.
All organic and inorganic chemicals and compounds test within legally established safety limits. However, due primarily to the traces of arsenic present in the water, drinking the hot springs water is not adviseable.
