healing waters
Curative natural springs
Healing waters are bodies of water believed to have therapeutic or curative properties—hot springs, mineral baths, sacred wells.
The phrase evokes ancient traditions of pilgrimage to such sites: People traveled from miles around to bathe in the healing waters.
The term often carries spiritual or mystical connotations beyond mere physical remedy.
