The following article is a comparative excerpt created from an article on the website Eyton’s Earth, which presents information about the differences between natural mineral hot springs. In so doing, we can showcase the natural mineral properties of Blue River Resort which are indeed, very special.
Introduction: Art & Science of Blue River Mineral Hot Springs
What Makes a Mineral Hot Spring a Mineral Hot Spring:
We will be attempting to throw some light on what defines and classifies hot springs water; and then use Blue River Resort’s mineral water analysis by way of example.
Balneology
Balneology is the scientific study of naturally occurring mineral waters and Balneotherapy is the practical study and application of the health benefits of water. In Europe and Japan balneology and hot springs therapy is very much a part of routine medical care, though it is not well known in the United States.
