Taos, New Mexico- Ojo Caliente
Convincing us to go to a spa is not exactly a hard sell, especially when it has natural mineral springs filled with healthful properties. At Ojo Caliente in Taos, one of the oldest resorts in the US, it’s also possible to enjoy the breathtaking views of the abrupt cliffs of the desert.
The forest is sprinkled with aspens between dips in the pools of mud, arsenic, or kiva, each praising its own healing properties and aura.
One of the most popular features of the healing spots at Ojo Caliente is that they’re considered the only ones in the world with four different types of sulfur-free mineral waters, including iron, soda, arsenic, and lithium.
Iron-based bathing is beneficial for immune health, and arsenic bathing is recommended for those who seek relief from arthritis or even ulcer pain.
While at this healing spot, take a dip in the rock-lined pool to calm your mind or the lithium-rich pool for some potential help with your digestion or depression.
