Sulfur Mineral Soak - Southern West Virginia is known for its famous mineral waters and sulfur is known to be one of the most healing of all minerals. Sulfur is a yellow mineral that is referred to in the Bible and has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Sulfur is found in every living cell and it’s part of the molecules that form the amino acids (protein building blocks) which are essential for health. It's a constituent of vitamin B1 and biotin, the antioxidant glutathione, the anticoagulant heparin, and coenzyme A, which drives energy production in cells. Sulfur is an integral part of the biological cement (collagen) that forms skin, hair, nails, and the cartilage that shapes your nose and pads your joints.

We can customize your Sulfur Mineral Soak by adding some Dead Sea or Epsom Salts (helpful for relieving pain from arthritis) , Colloidal Oatmeal (helpful for chapped, wind burned or sunburned skin), or herbs such as Chamomile Flowers that are soothing for skin conciliations such as poison ivy, eczema or prickly heat and calming to your nerves. After your Sulfur Soak, you may notice improvement in various physical or nervous complaints and continued use may help to remineralize your body with the wonderful healing benefits that have been enjoyed and praised since ancient times.
