This makes so much sense. Thank you so much for bringing this up.Onsen springs have existed in Japan for hundreds of years. There are still a lot of radium hot springs (spas), or as the Japanese call it, onsen (温泉) in japan reputed to bring health benefits. Obviously experimental tests must have classified these springs to later have radium or radon. Four famous ones exist in Hokkaido, Akita, Yamanashi, and Tottori prefectures in Japan. In Japanese is it called radon (ラドン), sometimes also called radium (ラジウム). But yes, another website says that drinking the "radioactive water" will help improve blood sugar balance and is good for diabetes and chronic urinary tract disease. Helps with joint pain and arthritis.
The first website gives a whoppingly long list of illnesses it will help relieve.
Arthritis and Joint Pain
Gastrointestinal Disorders
Neurological Disorders such as Neuralgia, neuritis, Dysautonomia
Chronic Bronchitis
Skin diseases
Cancer
Infertility
Hemorrhoids
Bruises, sprains
Kidney, liver and heart disease
Arteriosclerosis
and Asthma
A famous onsen's website says that when you intake radium, it stimulates your blood and cells and promotes good metabolism. And by improving the circulation throughout the body, the waste products are flushed out.
Get this! it helps improve ovarian and testicular function. If these radioactive water springs were bad for your health, the Japanese would have stopped using the hot springs hundreds of years ago.

If you want you can ever order water containing radon water from their linked rakuten page (japanese online shopping giant retailer)
One bottle (half a liter) for 180¥ or about $1.70.

I am not promoting but just pulling up one of many examples of radium products you can still purchase.
But yes, this flies contrary in the face that "radiation" is dangerous and that we need "radon gas" detectors in our houses and such.
If you are ever in Japan, then I guess stop by a radium hot spring bathe and relax and drink radium water.
I've been fortunate enough to spend time in some amazing onsen in Hokkaido on two occasions. Absolutely nothing beats bathing in hot water in an open air pool when it's snowing on you, and you can see a volcano nearby. Plus you're nude.
Radium seems to be related to Earth's geothermal activity given that it occurs naturally in onsen. In that case, the Pacific "Ring of Fire" would be the first place to look. Hawaii is right in the middle - how is it related? Is it the "controller"?
