Therapeutic Waters

Posted by Rocky Point Times | Feb 28, 2015 | Rosarie Salerno |

Geothermal water is created through the action of the internal heat of the earth. These pools of water are known as Mineral and/or Hot Springs. Their temperatures differ from spring to spring; from tepid to very hot. Geothermal Springs are known for their therapeutic benefits. The mineral and gas contents of the water relieves sore muscles, pain from arthritis, promotes healing, helps detoxify the body and more. Mineral Springs have been used since ancient times. Almost every city in the Roman Empire had at least one bath. Pre-Columbian cultures bathed in thermal springs, the Nahuatl word temazcal means house or temple of steam; Montezuma, ruler of the Aztec Empire, bathed in his own private spa near Tenochtitlan. The ritual was a common practice for medicinal and religious purposes by the indigenous people of the Americas.

Well I wasn’t ok. I fell asleep 20 miles this side of Sells Az and took a detour through the desert and hit a BIG cactus head on. It fell on the roof of the passenger side and almost crushed it down to the seat. A foot over and it would have gotten me.

The Mermaid’s Market is in its 3rd year and has become known as a local marketplace to find unique and eclectic ‘mermaid treasures’…gifts, clothing, candy, home decor, paintings, photographs and much more. Each 1st and 3rd Saturday (during the months of October through April) you can find ‘mermaids’ selling their wares at the Shrimp Park in the center of Rocky Point.
