For your health's sake 


THE STROPPEL HOTEL MINERAL PLUNGES:

To preserve general health, we believe there is no more valuable mineral water than the Stroppel Mineral Water; see below for the composition.   The temperature of the water is 119 degrees at the wellhead, but it is cooled before flowing into the plunges.  For optimum healing one plunge is kept around 106 degrees and the around 110. Our plunges are in a Bath House addition off our lobby.   Each plunge has its own changing room that yourself or your group will have private access to during your spa experience.  

The plunges are kept at these healing temperatures to soothe many ailments.   Increasing your body temperature helps naturally eliminate toxins, increase circulation and reduce blood pressure. Essential minerals have many health benefits and can be absorbed through your skin, giving your body a natural health boost.  Our healing waters can help with the healing effects of reducing blood pressure, lowering blood sugar, increasing circulation, opening the respiratory system.  The geothermal waters act as a natural anti-inflammatory and disinfectant to relieve pain and pressure from joints and muscles. 

Skin ailments of many sorts and tired aching muscles have been relieved. Cuts heal very quickly. Blood poison has been drawn out and many more ailments too numerous to mention have been relieved over the decades.

After approximately 21 hot mineral baths, people who entered on crutches and canes have walked out under their own power. Many are finding a week's respite with daily plunges are vital in subsiding pain and gaining stress-free peace.  

If people cursed with the aches and pains of rheumatism and arthritis would spend one week a year at our geothermal mineral baths, a lot of needless suffering could be relieved. People who have been helped are our best advertisement.
