Long before cold plunges, wellness retreats and energy healing, Americans traveled in search of mineral water, mountain air and experimental treatments.

In this episode, Jeremy and Amy explore America’s original wellness destinations—from Hot Springs, Saratoga Springs and Mineral Wells to tuberculosis retreats in Colorado and Arizona, Kellogg’s unusual Battle Creek Sanitarium, Sedona’s vortex culture and the polio rehabilitation centers of Warm Springs and Ottine.

What were people trying to cure, did any of it work—and what can travelers still experience today?
