Real Jamaican Healing
Bath Fountain Hotel & Spa的点评
点评：SUMMARY: With proper planning, a visit to Bath Fountain can be a deeply healing, once-in-a-lifetime experience. You can ensure your satisfaction by reserving a therapeutic treatment with Jahchusia Prussia (1-876-862-8173). He has been providing professional massage and mineral clay application here for 17 years.
DETAILS:
HISTORY - Bath Fountain is a natural thermal hot spring with a rich history that is nestled within a bamboo forest. According to legend the baths were discovered in the 17th century by a runaway slave suffering from ulcers on his leg. He stumbled across the spring and washed his wounded limb in the water. He noticed the next day that his leg began to rapidly heal. News of the healing fountain spread and soon the spring (then named "The Bath of St Thomas the Apostle") attracted visitors from all over Jamaica. In 1699 Colonel Stanton (the owner of the land on which the spring stood) sold the 1,130 acre estate to the Government of Jamaica. The Government developed the fountain and built a hospital on the site offering free treatment using the magical waters. Guest houses sprang up nearby and many wealthy merchants built homes here, establishing Bath as a fashionable spa town.
GEOLOGY - Thermal hot springs are naturally heated water sources emerging from the Earth's crust, offering potential relaxation and health benefits like stress relief and skin detoxification. The waters at Bath Fountain emerge from faults and fissures below the earth's surface. Several hot springs and cold springs emerge from fractures in the rugged terrain of the Blue Mountain Inlier that extends across the parish of St. Thomas.
TODAY - Jahchusia Prussia (by reservation - call 1-876-862-8173) has guided thousands of visitors through a therapeutic experience in the springs. I opted for a daytime, full body massage with firm pressure and afterwards an application of mineral clay, but Jahchusia can customize your treatment to your preference, and also offers nighttime, moonlit visits to the springs. From the entrance, it is a less-than-10 minute walk from the trailhead to the springs. Best to ask Jahchusia about your timing, as I heard it does get crowded on weekends (I went on a Friday and saw about ten people total). The thermal waters are very hot! Towels are immersed in the bubbling hot water and then used to cover your body; the intense steam and heat is quite purging, and enhanced by the use of large jugs filled and refilled with temperature adjusted water to suit your comfort level that are then poured over your head, shoulders and back. (The springs have both hot and cold water, so you can be assured that the temperature you feel best with will be used.) After several minutes of immersion, you can have a professional massage. I wore a bathing suit during my treatment but some Europeans are accustomed to nudity so you could encounter that. Post-massage, you can have mineral clay applied and let that dry, then rinse from a bamboo spigot from which cold spring water gushes forth.
RESULT - I felt the reverberations of my experience for days afterwards. It seemed like something toxic I was holding on to deep within me had been awakened by the water and the massage and could now be looked at, confronted, and sent on its way. I re-encountered some inner demons and, after some intense inner dialogue, said good riddance to them and sent them packing.
FINAL TIPS - Wear water sandals like Keens so you can both comfortably walk on the short dirt trail and move around in the river. Keep your phone/cash/ID in a waterproof phone pouch you can wear around your neck (they sell inexpensive ones online for about $10/each). Stop in at the Bath Botanical Garden to see many beautiful specimens of trees and flowers such as frangipani and ylang ylang. Above all, enjoy the real Jamaica that most tourists never get to see.

翻译：摘要：如果计划得当，游览温泉浴场可以成为一次深度治愈、一生难得的体验。您可以预约 Jahchusia Prussia (1-876-862-8173) 的治疗，确保您满意。他在这里提供专业按摩和矿物粘土应用已有 17 年。
详情：
历史 - 温泉浴场是一处天然温泉，历史悠久，坐落在竹林中。据传说，温泉浴场是在 17 世纪由一名腿部患有溃疡的逃亡奴隶发现的。他偶然发现了温泉，并在水中清洗了受伤的肢体。第二天，他注意到自己的腿开始迅速愈合。温泉浴场的消息传开了，很快温泉（当时名为“圣托马斯使徒浴场”）就吸引了来自牙买加各地的游客。 1699 年，斯坦顿上校（温泉所在土地的所有者）将 1,130 英亩的庄园卖给了牙买加政府。政府开发了喷泉，并在现场建造了一所医院，使用神奇的水提供免费治疗。附近出现了宾馆，许多富商在这里建造了住宅，使巴斯成为了一个时尚的温泉小镇。
地质 - 温泉是从地壳中涌出的天然热水源，具有潜在的放松和健康益处，如缓解压力和皮肤排毒。巴斯喷泉的水来自地表下的断层和裂缝。几处温泉和冷泉从横跨圣托马斯教区的蓝山内陆崎岖地形的裂缝中涌出。
今天 - Jahchusia Prussia（需预订 - 致电 1-876-862-8173）已引导数千名游客体验温泉的治疗体验。我选择了白天的全身按摩，用力按压，然后涂抹矿物粘土，但 Jahchusia 可以根据您的喜好定制您的治疗方案，并且还提供夜间月光下的温泉之旅。从入口到温泉，步行不到 10 分钟即可到达小道起点。最好询问 Jahchusia 您的时间，因为我听说周末这里确实很拥挤（我周五去的，总共看到大约十个人）。温泉水很热！将毛巾浸入冒泡的热水中，然后用来覆盖您的身体；强烈的蒸汽和热量非常具有净化作用，使用大水壶装满并重新装满温度调节到适合您舒适度的水，然后将其倒在您的头部、肩膀和背部，效果会更好。（温泉有热水和冷水，因此您可以放心，我们会使用您感觉最合适的温度。）浸泡几分钟后，您就可以享受专业的按摩了。我在治疗期间穿着泳衣，但一些欧洲人习惯裸体，所以你可能会遇到这种情况。按摩后，你可以涂上矿物粘土，等它变干，然后用竹子水龙头冲洗，冷泉水从竹子水龙头喷涌而出。
结果 - 几天后，我都能感受到我的经历带来的回响。似乎我内心深处的某种有毒物质被水和按摩唤醒了，现在可以正视、面对并驱散它了。我再次遇到了一些内心的恶魔，在经过激烈的内心对话后，我向它们说再见，然后把它们打发走了。
最后提示 - 穿上像 Keens 这样的水凉鞋，这样你既可以舒适地走在短短的土路上，也可以在河里走动。把你的手机/现金/身份证放在一个可以挂在脖子上的防水手机袋里（他们在网上以大约 10 美元/个的价格出售便宜的手机袋）。到巴斯植物园驻足观赏许多美丽的树木和花卉，如鸡蛋花和依兰。最重要的是，欣赏大多数游客永远看不到的真正的牙买加。
