Castle Hot Springs Releases New Wellness Menu

Castle Hot Springs (Morristown, AZ) recently introduced a new mineral-rich wellness menu that draws inspiration from the surrounding land and healing waters of the natural hot springs aimed at evoking joy, serenity, and renewal. The 1,100-acre property is centered around rejuvenating geo-thermal hot springs that have been naturally forged into the land over 13,000 years and flow at a clip of 200,000 gallons each day. Each of the property’s hot springs pools are rich with a unique spectrum of minerals said to remedy aches and pains, improve mobility, and boost skin health, many of which can be easily absorbed through the skin as guests soak in the therapeutically rich mineral waters. 

Focused on nourishing the mind, body, and soul, Castle Hot Springs has enhanced the treatments, therapies, and body rituals this year by maximizing the benefits of the hot springs’ unique mineral mixture – particularly rich in lithium, magnesium, and bicarbonates, which together help lift the mood, calm the mind, and ease physical stress. Treatments are conducted in outdoor cabanas that overlook a creek under towering palms. Other mineral benefits that desert-soaking at Castle Hot Springs include are enhancing blood circulation and relaxation with magnesium, which is great for calming the nerves and aids in sleep; calcium, which is essential for muscle function and regulates heart rhythms; sodium, which helps soothe joint aches, arthritis; sodium sulfates, which help ease eczema, psoriasis, and acne troubles; and lithium, which helps boost the mood and leaves guests with a general sense of wellbeing and relaxation.

In addition to encouraging a soak in the hot springs before each wellness treatment or spa service, the new wellness menu incorporates the minerals and healing waters into a selection of scrubs, clay mixtures, and hot towels. The fresh herbs and plants, either grown on property on the lush one-acre farm or locally sourced, are incorporated in the proprietary clay and seasonal house-blended scrubs including lavender, eucalyptus, cucumber, melon, calendula, and citrus. 

New Wellness Menu Highlights at Castle Hot Springs in 2022:

  • Mineral Scrub & Full Body Massage: A nourishing body treatment featuring the relaxing properties of minerals found in the hot springs. A light mineral scrub exfoliates and softens the skin before the body is brushed with soothing white clay mixed with the hot springs’ mineral water, designed to remove toxins and impurities. After the clay is removed with hot towels, the treatment concludes with a relaxing full-body massage.
  • Sonoran Desert Transformation Body Ritual: Transformation begins with a brisk dry brushing of the skin, an ancient practice that stimulates blood flow and offers gentle exfoliation. Next, be enveloped in a mineral-rich, purifying turquoise sage clay wrap featuring lavender, rosewood, and wild sage. Breathe in the light, herbal scent that recalls the purity of the high desert air while relaxing with an intoxicating scalp and facial massage. Conclude with a full-body massage, a turquoise sage hydrating treatment for hands and feet, and a reflexology foot massage to stimulate circulation and provide an ultimate sense of wellbeing.
  • Seasonal Body Scrub: A farm-to-table full-body scrub; choose from house-blended body scrubs made on property with fresh ingredients from the farm including rosemary and eucalyptus (available year-round) or a changing menu of seasonal ingredients including cucumber, melon, key lime, calendula, citrus, rose and desert lavender.
