Most people know what a hot spring consists of (a natural source of hot or warm water), and that Calistoga<\/a> is known for its mineral baths of all kinds. But how does it work, and why is this relaxation practice good for you?<\/p>\r\n

One thing we’ve learned is that because heated water holds more dissolved solids, hot springs have a high mineral content, which means it’s all the better for a soak. And while there may not be a ton of scientific research into its health benefits, we do know that this practice of using heat to release toxins is tens of thousands of years old.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\r\n

\u201cQuiet nights, warm soaks\u2014welcome to Calistoga.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\r\n

With its geothermal hot springs of mineral water running underground, Calistoga has a renowned history as a place of healing. Over 50 years ago, members of the Wappo tribe were the first to discover a natural volcanic hot spring near the foot of Mount St. Helena. The rest is spa-history, with visitors coming from far and wide to take part in the curative powers of Calistoga, by relaxing in a mineral-rich hot spring or a volcanic mud bath.<\/p>\r\n

The health benefits may mostly be based on anecdotal evidence, but there\u2019s no denying the zen-like state one emerges with after a long, hot soak. If it makes you feel better and more relaxed, that\u2019s half the battle, isn\u2019t it? We\u2019ve rounded up some of our favorite spa experiences<\/a> that offer that famed Calistoga mineral water for your next trip to Wine Country. Get ready to soak, steam, rest, and repeat.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=”2″ el_class=”mid-width”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\r\n

Calistoga Spa Hot Springs<\/a><\/h2>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”33250″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” el_class=”mid-width” link=”http:\/\/www.calistogaspa.com?utm_source=wcm&utm_medium=napavalley.com&utm_campaign=content”][vc_column_text]\r\n

Because one healing geothermal mineral pool isn’t enough, Calistoga Spa Hot Springs<\/a> has four<\/em>, and each is heated to a different temperature to suit all preferences. Have a soak in the outdoor whirlpool, which can get as hot as 104\u00b0 F (perfect for year-round dips), or enjoy the Soaking Pool and its 100\u00b0 F waters. If you’re itching for some exercise as well as rejuvenation, the multi-lane lap pool is heated to a cool 80\u00b0 F, and the wading pool is perfect for wee spa guests.<\/p>\r\n

Quick insider tip\u2014If you have a friend who just wants to join in on their geothermal mineral pools, they can accompany you as your guest for a $25 fee.<\/p>\r\n
