Veronica Springs

Veronica Springs, also Veronica Medicinal Springs, was a cluster of natural springs along Arroyo Burro creek in Santa Barbara County, California, United States. Veronica spring water was not a therapeutic spa water or a table water but a medicinal mineral water with high magnesium levels. The waters had a yellowish tinge and a strongly purgative-laxative effect (similar to commercial preparations of milk of magnesia), and beginning around 1887, the water was bottled and sold as a health tonic. Veronica Water peaked as a brand in the 1910s. The springs were capped off in 1962.
