Return to Healing Waters of Mt. Clemens, Michigan

Healing Waters of Mt. Clemens, Michigan

by chiron99

For more than a century, the world's elite flocked to the resort
town of Mt. Clemens, Michigan to soothe their bodies in the
ancient healing waters of the Michigan Basin. With 34 essential
minerals, Mt. Clemens seawater contains the highest mineral
content of any body of water in the world.

Although the glory days of "America's Bath City" are long gone,
today's spas and medical researchers are taking a second look at
the unique mineral complex of Mt. Clemens water.

In an era before antibiotics and modern drugs, Mt. Clemens drew
thousands of people annually to its famous mineral baths.
Socialites and celebrities would return year after year to "take
the waters" in search of relief from their aches and pains.

The story goes that in 1868 an old horse was put out to pasture
to end its days. The poor nag spent its time stomping in the mud
and water near some abandoned, leaky salt tanks. Soon the horse
was no longer limping and became thoroughly rejuvenated. Thus,
they say, was the discovery of the curative powers of the waters
under Mt. Clemens.

News of the miracle spread, and soon the rush to Mt. Clemens was
underway. Proponents of the baths proclaimed the treatment's
miraculous power to relieve the discomfort associated with skin
problems, tired muscles and joints, and a number of other
ailments. Postcards of the times proudly showed the infirm
emerging from the baths free of pain.

The first bath house opened in Mt. Clemens in 1873 and the
industry grew steadily, reaching its height of popularity in
1910-1911.

The last remaining bath house closed in 1974. The only remaining
well in operation today in Mt. Clemens is owned by Geologix,
Inc., manufactures of Mineral Essentials and Ache Away.

Guest lists from Mt. Clemens' luxury resort hotels remind us
that this resort town was once a mecca for many affluent and
famous personalities. Here are just a few who found relief from
their aches and pains in the healing waters:

- Henry Ford, auto pioneer
- Mae West, actress
- Babe Ruth, home-run king
- Booth Tarkington, author
- William Randolph Hearst, newspaper mogul
- Helena Rubinstein, beauty maven
- William Kellogg, cereal king
- Jerome Kern, songwriter
- Eddie Cantor, singer/songwriter
- William Jennings Bryan, U.S. Congressman
- Jack Dempsey, boxer
- John L. Sullivan, boxer
- William Steinway, piano manufacturer

The healing mineral waters of Mt. Clemens are the product of
over 600 million years of geologic evolution. During the
Paleozoic Era, a shallow see formed in the area that is now the
Great Lakes region. The sea occupied a large basin, now known as
the Michigan Basin, which collected sediment from the sea and
surrounding land.

A dramatic shift in climate conditions caused the seawater to
slowly evaporate, depositing layer upon layer of mineral salts.
What remained was a thick mineral brine containing a unique
complex of 34 minerals.

The brine lay undisturbed until 1862 when a prospecting company,
hoping to strike it rich in oil, tapped instead into a dense
mineral water. Discovering that the water was rich in salt, the
company tried to salvage the operation. Extracting only salt from
this mineral rich mixture was easy, but a low grade salt was all
that could be manufactured. As a result the commercial value was
reduced and the enterprise was short lived.

Fortunately for the town of Mt. Clemens, the mineral-rich brine
found a better purpose.

With the arrival of the Great Depression and the growing
popularity of "modern medicine," the number of visitors to Mt.
Clemens gradually declined. Today, only one well remains in
operation to access the ancient seawater, which is used to create
a line of therapeutic and skin care products.

While the glory days of Michigan's "Bath City" are long gone,
the highly concentrated mineral water remains in abundance. It is
still pumped from a well, arising from a depth of 1,400 feet.

Mt. Clemens mineral water has the same mineral composition today
as when it was first discovered, and has a potency unequaled
anywhere known on earth. The 34 minerals are naturally contained
in the water, equivalent to 2 pounds of minerals for every 5
gallons of mineral water. This water contains a high
concentration of sodium, calcium and magnesium. Sodium provides
energy for active cell transport. Calcium has a calming effect
and is critical for the overall mineral balance of the body.
Magnesium, in addition to increasing cell vitality, also
possesses healing properties. It acts as an anti-allergenic and
is needed by many enzymes which stimulate cell activity and slow
down the aging process.
The same minerals our skin and body needs daily, to maintain a
healthy balance, are found in abundance in the natural mineral
water of the Michigan Basin. These minerals promote healthy cell
metabolism, reduce muscle and joint aches, improve circulation,
strengthen, rebuild and maintain skin's structural integrity,
cleanse and purify the skin and protect against fluid loss.

Everything from diet to a hectic lifestyle can deprive us of
much needed minerals. As a result, our skin and body loses
essential mineral, causing it to become dehydrated, weak and
slower to regenerate.

Geologix, Inc. incorporates the mineral rich water of Mt.
Clemens into its therapeutic and skin care products which allow
the minerals to be easily absorbed into the skin to remineralize
and replenish cells naturally. Transdermal absorption allows
these minerals to go deeper into the body supplying important
mineral nourishment to muscles, joint and skin.
