The health benefits of Sol Y Viento’s warm springs and mountain-top location

-

Afew hours swimming or just indulging yourself in its hot baths can soothe your aching joints. The natural unpolluted air, made even purer by its distance from the lowlands, can cleanse your lungs. For starters, those are just a few of the health benefits you can enjoy in one weekend in the Sol Y Viento Mountain Hot Spring Resort. You don’t even have to subject yourself to a rigorous workout. The vacation itself becomes an experience in rejuvenati­on, the waters soothing those fatigued muscles while the remote but idyllic setting clears your mind.

Sol Y Viento simply outdoes the other pansol-focused resorts in Calamba, Laguna because it has several of them, these nature-created pools heated and purified from within the deep wells of nearby Mount Makiling. You can bathe with friends and family in the pansols, or just indulge your own personal water tripping in the Jacuzzi in your room.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter where you swim or bathe – the health benefits remain the same. Hydrothera­py has been proven to remove stress, and Sol Y Viento proudly follows in the legacy of artisans, architects, and physicians from ancient, respected civilizati­ons like Rome and India who built community baths to promote wellness and arrest the onslaught of aging.

Modern medicine itself confirms the advantages of spending a few hours in pure, natural, warm water that is sourced from deep within the earth. Muscle tension is relieved, and the joints and spine are relieved from the daily pressures that have caused them to constrict and cramp. The heat in the water likewise improves blood circulatio­n, and has a hand in speeding up the recovery of damaged tissue. The wellness that the water brings is complement­ed by the way that the high mountain air revitalize­s your body. There are many good reasons why the best athletes take time to climb mountains or spend time in places with high altitude. Removing yourself from the ravages of pollution that has become an inescapabl­e part of urbanizati­on is only a very small part of it.

Rejuvenati­ng properties

Sol Y Viento’s high place makes its oxygen, like its waters, purer and cleaner. Pure, fresh oxygen is like fuel that powers up your blood circulatio­n. As it travels through your blood stream, it makes your organs, like your heart and kidney, and other physiologi­cal systems stronger and healthier.

Another part of your physiology that fresh mountain air strengthen­s is your immune system. In making you more resistant to germs and other oxidants, it likewise causes you to be less susceptibl­e to diseases and illnesses.

The combined rejuvenati­ng properties of hot waters and elevated mountain air will also give you more energy while reducing your stress levels.

A weekend (or more) in Sol Y Viento will detoxify your body from the impure elements that have weakened it, while infusing you with added reserves of physical and mental power that you can draw on for the challenges of the days ahead. It goes beyond relaxation and rest, to provide you with more springs in your step that will be more sustaining.
