Learn More! What is Sanage Onsen’s natural radon hot spring?
- The miraculous hot spring recommended by doctors
- It is important to drink clean water to filter out the impurities in the blood that can cause various diseases. There are cancer survivors who continuously drank this spring water. The best hot springs are not only good for bathing but also drinking. While bathing allows the components to be absorbed through the skin, drinking the water allows 100% of the hot spring components to be directly absorbed through the digestive system, resulting in enhanced health benefits.
Sanage Onsen's natural radon hot spring contains radon gas with a concentration of 21.10 mache/76.8 curies, which meets the minimum requirement (8.25 mache) for therapeutic springs. Inhaling it also provides more benefits than bathing in it. Drinking it can help alleviate conditions like gout, digestive disorders, diabetes, and hypertension while bathing in it improves renal function and provides a calming and analgesic effect. It has a wide range of benefits when used for bathing, drinking, and inhalation.
- Natural Radon Hot Spring and Hormesis Effect
- Radon hot springs are a unique type of natural hot spring. The therapeutic effects of radon springs, which account for only 7% of all hot springs in Japan, are attributed to the natural radiation emitted by radon and is called hormesis. This natural radiation works wonders on the human body and poses no harm. The natural radiation absorbed by the body through inhalation, drinking, and bathing activates cells, promotes natural healing, enhances metabolism, and improves immune function throughout the body. It rejuvenates the body and promotes "spontaneous recovery within cells," alleviating various symptoms, so it is ideal for maintaining a healthy body.
The hormesis effect of radon is already being utilized by many physicians in Japan. We invite you to experience the "hormesis effect" of natural radon hot springs for yourself.
