Natural Mineral Hot Springs - the (nearly) complete list

It's almost impossible to find one spot, even online, that tells you every place in the world where you can enjoy such delicious natural spring waters. In California, we are fortunate to have Desert Hot Springs so close by. The Europeans have enjoyed their benefits for eons. Italy even makes them available to all its citizens as part of their entitlement to good health. Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, have many, even Mexico has. So many are listed here for us so that we Americans, too, can know from which to choose to go. This book is a rare treat.
