4 Scientifically Proven Benefits of Taking a Bath
Brain and Nervous System
Soaking in a warm bath can reduce inflammation, pain, stress, and anxiety in the body which in turn improves your sense of well-being and lowers your blood pressure.
Blood Circulation and Immunity
A warm bath helps regulate blood flow allowing you to breath deeper and slower creating more oxygen in the blood. Enjoying a hot tub can kill bacteria and strengthen your immune system and relieve symptoms of flu and cold.
Hormones and Mood
Bathing in cooler water can relieve symptoms of chronic fatigue and some fertility issues by balancing adrenocorticotropic, cortisol and beta endorphin hormones released by the pituitary gland. Alternatively, a warm bath can increase levels of serotonin in the brain leaving you feeling relaxed and happy.
Cleanse and Moisturize
Soaking in water and steam is incredibly beneficial and ensures complete hydration throughout the body. Adding mineral salts, honey or goat’s milk to your bath enhances these benefits, leaving your skin noticeably softer with a beautiful all over glow.
