At Dosthill, our water isn’t just clear, it’s restorative. Because the quarry is spring-fed, the water is naturally filtered through layers of ancient rock, becoming rich in minerals along the way. Most notably, Dosthill Quarry boasts a high concentration of Magnesium, often referred to as “nature’s muscle relaxant.”
Why Mineral-Rich Water Matters:
- Muscle Recovery & Relaxation: Magnesium is absorbed through the skin (transdermal absorption). For scuba divers carrying heavy gear or open water swimmers hitting personal bests, the high magnesium content helps reduce muscle soreness, prevents cramping, and aids in faster recovery.
- Skin Health: Magnesium is known to be “skin-loving.” It helps to hydrate the skin, improve the skin’s barrier function, and can even soothe irritations. Unlike chlorinated pools, our mineral-rich water leaves your skin feeling refreshed, not stripped.
- Stress Reduction: There is a reason Magnesium salts are used in high-end spas. The combination of the mineral content and the “Blue Mind” effect of being in open water helps lower cortisol levels, reducing stress and promoting a better night’s sleep after your visit.
- Natural Purity: Being spring-fed means the water is constantly being replenished from deep underground. This natural cycle, combined with the mineral density, creates a unique ecosystem with exceptional visibility and a “fresh” feel that you won’t find in stagnant lakes.
Dosthill Quarry’s unique mineral-rich, spring-fed waters offer more than just clarity, they provide a natural sanctuary for recovery, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Whether you’re diving, swimming, or simply soaking in the tranquil environment, the magnesium magic of Dosthill enhances every visit, leaving you refreshed and ready for your next adventure.
