Cold, mineral spring water has been a valued treasure at Arrowhead Springs Resort for thousands of years, beginning with Native Americans and continuing as a health destination for contemporary guests.  In the 1940-50s, Arrowhead Springs Hotel was the place to be seen by celebrities worldwide.  The contents of the spring waters were reputed to contain life-nourishing minerals, as noted in this early curative description:

"As part of the cure, and to get the greatest good from a visit to Arrowhead Springs, it is suggested you drink two glasses of the water from any of the hot springs with the juice of half a lemon before breakfast.  Then walk at least 15 minutes before eating.  Drink quantities of the cold Spring water during the day and before retiring.  Drinking the mineral waters promotes nutrition, augments the secretions and aids the constructive metabolism."   (on Hotel menu, 1940s)
