There’s nothing better than finding out something that is flexible and enjoyable is actually good for you and there’s no better time, because we are living in the age of bathfluence.
So, the good news is enjoying in a hot bath actually has medical benefits. Here are the 8 reason why you should draw a bath tonight.
Baths Can Elevate Your Mood
Obviously setting into warm water feels good, but that pleasure happens to have staying power. According to a psychologist, who surveyed 80 people, bathing can diminish feeling of depression and pessimism because baths give you a wonderful combination of isolation, quiet and comfort. Overall, bathing induces feelings of comfort and easiness, and that kind of security allows your mind, and subsequently your body, to relax.
It Can Help You Sleep Better
Soaking in a warm bath will raise your body temperature, and exiting will more rapidly cool it down, thus instigating the production of melatonin, and better preparing you for sleep.
Bath Can Help Relieve Muscle Pain
Heat will get your blood moving, which is not only great for circulation (more on that later) but can also help sore or tight muscles to relax. The addition of epsom salts in your warm bath has been proven to help reduce inflammation in your joints caused by arthritis or other muscular diseases.
Bath Can Relieve Cold and Flu Symptoms
Steam from a hot bath works wonders for stuffy noses and bad coughs. Congestion is caused by inflammation in your nasal passages, and steam gets the blood vessels in your face and nose moving, thus loosening any mucus blockage. A temperate bath can also help your immune system to better fight off viruses.
Baths Can Soothe Irritated Skin
While scalding baths can make your skin more irritated, a warm bath—in combination with certain essential oils, like coconut, olive, or lavender, and also oatmeal—can better hydrate and heal dry or irritated skin. Plus, aromatherapy is great for regulating your mood or reducing stress.
