The Perfect Mud Bath at Indian Springs, Calistoga, CA

Nestled in the upper Napa Valley, Indian Springs Resort & Spa is a wonderful place to book an entire day to pamper yourself and unwind. The treatments vary, but my favorite is the mud bath followed by an hour massage. For the volcanic mud bath, the attendant puts you in the tub then covers you from neck to toe with warm volcanic mud. You get to rest there for 10 minutes. After you rinse off you soak in a bath of pure Indian Springs geyser water, rich in minerals and salts for 15 minutes. You then have the option to enter the steam room for 5-10 minutes. This is followed up by a cool down in a private room complete with cucumbers on your eyelids. The spa also offers delicious cold citrus and cucumber water drinks during the process. After your one hour massage, you feel like a new person. We always book our treatments in the morning so we can spend the afternoon poolside at their signature geyser fed mineral pool. Treat yourself to this wonderful place.
