Also it can relieve muscle pain from fibromyalgia and tired aching muscles from just living an extreme lifestyle.

The silica content of hot springs is great for all body functions. Silica is a foundation mineral that is crucial for body health and beauty. Silica is vital for bone building and bone protecting qualities. It is also crucial for joints, tendons, ligaments, teeth and connective tissue. It also strengthens the connective tissue of the brain, nerve cells and spinal cord which in turn improves memory.

Silica is also important for anti-aging / anti-wrinkle because it helps to form collagen and repairs loose skin.

There are foods that are a great source of silica like melons, cucumbers, artichokes, asparagus, dandelion and leafy greens; but why not take a little soak to increase the benefits.
