It's almost impossible to find one spot, even online, that tells you every place in the world where you can enjoy such delicious natural spring waters. In California, we are fortunate to have Desert Hot Springs so close by. The Europeans have enjoyed their benefits for eons. Italy even makes them available to all its citizens as part of their entitlement to good health. Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, have many, even Mexico has. So many are listed here for us so that we Americans, too, can know from which to choose to go. This book is a rare treat.

Healing Springs: The Ultimate Guide to Taking the Waters
By Nathaniel Altman (ISBN 0-89281-836-0, Inner Traditions-Healing Arts Press, 2000)

Nathaniel Altman is a medical writer and researcher who has written more than 15 books on alternative healing. I found this book to be a great source of information for all of us in Northern California. It is a practical and a very comprehensive guide to some of the best springs and the healing properties of their waters. This is truly the work of a person with a passion for the healing properties of water. A bonus is the more than 100 beautiful color photos.
