The healing town of Malvern

Malvern has had a long, honourable and sometimes amusing involvement with healing.

That involvement continues In the 21st century with many healers and healing organisations being located in the town.

Though the Hills have suffered from the predations of mining, they remain.  Many people believe that it is from the Hills - and the water that runs from them - that Malvern's healing power lies.

This page will bring together information on the healing traditions of Malvern, old and new.

Malvern and Water
It is perhaps with the healing aspect of its water that Malvern is most associated.  It is indeed Malvern water "that the Queen drinks".

Malvern was a Spa town, and many people came to take the waters as part of the famous Water Cure.

Today there are two quite separate organisations concerned with Malvern's water.  They are the...

• Malvern Spa Association, and the

• Friends of Malvern Springs and Wells

Please note that both organisation have the word 'Spa' in their web addresses.

The Malvern Spa Association site contains an interesting article by Dr John Harcup on the history of water, medicine and Malvern.

The Friends of Springs and Wells site contains a page giving their own slant on the organisational history of the springs and wells movement in Malvern.
