Detoxing is the oldest known form of medicine. It’s important to take time away to pamper the body temple and allow it to remove toxins that even the healthiest of health nuts are bombarded with on a daily basis. Hot Springs, Arkansas offers both an escape for the mind and treatment for the body.
Halloween weekend, rather than getting dressed up in costumes to celebrate the holiday, Beverly D and I made a rejuvenation road trip to Hot Springs to soak in the 4000 year-old mineral waters seeping from beneath the earth. These waters are known to create great healing, cleansing, and detoxification for the body. Popularized around the turn of the century, these springs were known to be visited by President Roosevelt and even many members of the Mob! Who knew mobsters were so healthy!
Hot Springs offers many bath houses and spa programs from which to choose. We embarked on our little adventure on Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m. from Houston, Texas and arrived 7 hours later to a Vintage Bath House in Arkansas. For $25 we soaked in the tub, relaxed in the steam compartments, and were given hot presses for aches and pains all the while being shoveled hot spring water to consume internally by the bath house practitioners. After all this detoxing we needed a nap! We followed through with our “Beverly D self-made” detoxification program the next day with a visit to a modern bath house equipped with a full spa. Of the many spa packages offered, we opted for a seaweed bath, massage and facial…a little pricier but SO worth it! The modern bath house fit right in with Beverly D’s code of health: They only carried organic, plant based products for sale and use throughout our treatments.
The trip wouldn’t have been complete without a trip to the free city water fountain to bottle our own mineral water to take home and a little jaunt over to SCOOPS ice cream. Ice Cream? Isn’t that a bit unhealthy to eat after detoxing? Well…not this ice cream! It is one of the few creameries in America that makes their ice cream IN HOUSE using ONLY fresh cream with NOTHING else! So healthy, and yet, SO GOOD!
The best part! The RESULTS! Beverly could feel the soreness in her body as toxins released from her muscles on Monday. And my sister could not get over how fabulous my skin looked! Despite the change in weather and transition to a drier climate, my skin is soft and supple, and BEAUTIFUL! Imagine what it has done for us internally, since your body absorbs everything you put on it!
Beverly D is planning another rejuvenation road trip to Hot Springs for December! It can be a great bonding or business building time for women. Let us know if you’d like to join in the health and fun! Contact BeverlyD@beverlyd.com.
