Hot bath is not only pleasant, but also beneficial for health. Are you one of the lucky ones who own a bathtub or have the opportunity to take a bath regularly? I'm jealous! Because after a hard day at work, a sports session, a moment spent in the cold or even for no good reason, nothing replaces a good hot bath.
So, in case you are still hesitating between the shower and the bathtub, here are some good reasons to immerse yourself in water from time to time:
The bath is used to wash us, but above all to relax us. Muscle tension, fatigue and stress disappear when you immerse yourself in water up to your neck. Heat acts on our brain, which releases pain-relieving hormones and sends relaxation signals to the body. For an even more powerful effect, you can pour a few drops of lavender essential oil into the water and light a few candles.
The temperature of the room should not be too high to sleep well, but a hot bath before going to bed, between 34 and 38°, is not bad, on the contrary. Its relaxing effect improves sleep by dilating blood vessels. Be careful not to stay in the water for more than 30 minutes so as not to cool down, wrinkle your skin...and fall asleep!
Hot water removes dirt accumulated on the skin and helps open pores. Getting out of the bath is therefore the ideal time to apply moisturizer because the skin will absorb it better. Certain bath salts, such as magnesium salts, can even help stimulate perspiration, eliminate tension, relieve pain and exfoliate the skin. The ideal cure after a sports session in winter.
If you need to lower your blood pressure, soak in a warm bath. Its action is beneficial for blood circulation and thus strengthens the immune system and the heart
