The Mineral Spring Water of Miracle Hill
In 1913 Cabot Yerxa discovered the sparkling clear, curative mineral waters of Desert Hot Springs. These internationally acclaimed waters start as snow melt from Mount San Gorgonio and travel for seven years to reach the aquifers beneath the city. This pure and delicious water seeps down through fissures deep into the earth, where it is then heated by the earth’s magma and rises back up as superheated steam, warming the water held in the hot water aquifer.
The spa resorts on Miracle Hill draw out the earth’s liquid treasure via wells straight into pools and tubs of various sizes for you.

Mineral Water Benefits
Not only can soaking in mineral waters boost your skin’s general health and appearance, but studies show that bathing in these waters can improve several skin problems. Immersion in mineral-rich water combined with therapeutic exercises can not only reduce pain, but also improve movement and quality of life significantly more than physical therapy alone. Taking to these waters may also lower blood pressure and improve blood flow.
Mineral Rich
Desert Hot Springs mineral water is rich in minerals, yet crystal clear, silky and odorless. Our nutrient rich mineral water provides a high content of Sulfate, Calcium, Iron and Magnesium as well as trace elements such as lithium, iron, zinc, iodine, copper, fluoride and selenium.
Following is a partial list of minerals contained in our water and their health benefits.
The Minerals
SODIUM CHLORIDE
Chloride helps regulate fluid flow in and out of body cells. It facilitates digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, and aids in the transmission of nerve impulses to and from the brain. Bathing in these waters is popular among those who have recently been in accidents or have undergone joint surgery.
SULFUR
Sulfur is thought to help destroy abnormal (unhealthy) cells, while protecting the body against environmental toxins. It can help reduce pain and inflammation, and is one of the most prevalent minerals in our water. Amazingly, due to the high temperature of the water, there is the benefit of the sulfur without the sulfur smell.
BICARBONATE
It is a natural component of blood and is essential for proper digestion, metabolism, and overall functioning. Drinking waters with high bicarbonate stimulates the appetite, raises alkalinity and increases the secretion of gastric juices necessary for proper digestion.
MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is necessary for a variety of bodily processes and plays a role in over 300 chemical reactions in the body. It has a calming effect, aids in regularity, induces restful sleep, and lowers fever.
SODIUM AND POTASSIUM
Desert Hot Springs Water contains both sodium and potassium, two minerals that play a large role in balancing fluids in the body and are also important for nerve conduction and muscle contraction.
SILICA
Silica helps heal wounds, build bones and support connective tissues, particularly collagen. It leaves the skin soft and silky. It also helps prevent premature aging, cardiovascular diseases and Alzheimer’s.
BORON
Boron is an essential mineral for bone calcification. It is necessary for cartilage repair and formation. It affects the calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus levels in the body. It plays a role in regulating the hormones, especially estrogen. The parathyroid contains more Boron than any other part of the body.
CALCIUM
Calcium is one of the major essential elements needed in human nutrition. It is vital to every organ of the body, including the brain. It is one of the first things to go out of balance when the diet is inadequate. Called the “knitter,” it promotes healing in the body.
LITHIUM
Lithium's calming influence on the nervous system can help reduce stress and promote relaxation. Studies suggest lithium may improve sleep quality, leading to deeper, more restful nights.
Desert Hot Springs mineral spring water has been known for decades as “MIRACLE WATER” because of its natural healing and restorative properties.
