healing water

Therapeutic mineral bath

Water believed to have restorative or curative properties, whether from mineral springs, religious sites, or folk tradition.

Healing waters appear across cultures—from the baths at Lourdes to Native American hot springs to baptismal fonts.

The term now extends to wellness products marketed for supposed health benefits: The spa advertised its healing waters.
