Ojai Hot Springs – Sulphur Hot Springs – Mineral Hot Springs
The natural Ojai hot springs (even some secret sulphur hot springs and mineral hot springs), off the beaten path (near the lake), down a trail, and over a bunch of rocks, are some of Ojai’s best-kept secrets. The pools mix with the river so there’s always a constant flow of fresh clean water. Temperature is normally a comfortable 100-105 degrees and provides a great space for meditating as well as offering an alternative therapy cure for a variety of ailments.
What natural elements are found at sulphur hot springs
Because the heated water found in the hot springs hold a greater amount of dissolved solids, they often have a very high mineral content and can contain elements such as calcium, lithium, radium, and sulphur (especially in the sulphur hot springs).
With regard to sulphur, it is well known that this element is a naturally occurring mineral that is present close to hot springs and volcanic craters. What about the rotten egg smell? The foul smell is caused by sulphur dioxide gas escaping into the air.
Benefits of sulphur hot springs
For hundreds of years, sulphur has been used medicinally and is found in every cell of the body. Making up approximately 25% of a person’s body weight, sulphur is known as nature’s beauty mineral as it helps to manufacture collagen.
The mineral can be used to treat itchy rashes found with eczema and can also help protect the body against environmental toxins. Many people have found pain relief from conditions such as arthritis by taking a bath in naturally occurring sulphur hot springs.
On a side note, Ojai is an amazing place. If you’ve never experienced it, you owe yourself a trip. While the sulphur hot springs are amazing and can offer an alternative therapy to a variety of conditions, the town is quaint and the locals are great!
*PLEASE NOTE: At the time this video was taken we were unaware that the hot springs are located on private property. Since then, the owners have asked us to keep the location of the sulphur hot springs private.
It’s Amanda from the hotel. I’m so glad you guys made it! I love showing people (a limited few who I know will appreciate and respect it) this beautiful place. And I was thrilled to see your site and all of the amazing information on here, thank you!

Hi, I’ve been so stressed out from working overtime and have been having migraines due to such a stressful lifestyle. I’m hoping the springs will aid me in getting away from the business of life and towards meditation. I’m planning on taking a few days off of work. Please email me directions if possible, I would appreciate it! =)
