After a really stressful day there’s something strangely appealing to running a hot bath and soaking your troubles away. But few people understand the true benefits on your body of this simple yet satisfying Stress Relief Technique.
Water after all, is nature’s healer as it has positive effects on your skin and muscles. It helps to stimulate nerve reflexes and it calms your internal organs.
Combined with a stress relief CD a hot bath is the perfect Natural Stress Relief technique to release that built up tension.
But wait there’s more. A recent study from the Mayo Clinic found soaking in a hot bath provides similar benefits to exercising without all the extra strain on the heart. Soaking in a hot bath increases your heart rate while it lowers your blood pressure. How does this work? When you first get into a hot bath it speeds up your heart to send blood to the surface and disperse extra body heat into the air. After a couple of minutes the warm blood causes your blood vessels to dilate, which decreases the resistance to blood flow and lowers your blood pressure.
A few other benefits of a hot bath include:
—> Overcoming Insomnia
—> It stimulates sweating and the release of toxins
—> With the addition of Epsom salts it helps arthritis and rheumatism
—> With sea salt it promotes healing and prevents infection
—> Promotes Stress Relief and Relaxation
When you’re feeling really stressed give a hot bath a go. It will release your built up tension. While soaking you can read a book, meditate to a stress relief CD, listen to music, or simply just sit and relax.
