Hydrotherapy Health Benefits

Hydrotherapy is an easy and excellent way to improve your overall health. The benefits linked to soaking in hot-water are astounding, and people around the world have been using hydrotherapy since the age of the Ancient Egyptians! Beachcomber Hot Tubs in Lethbridge has done some research and here’s what they’ve found out about hot-tubbing:

• Relieves tension & stress

Even as little as ten minutes immersed in hot water increases your pulse and gives increased feelings of well-being, which in turn lowers anxiety levels.

• Improves heart-health

Because your temperature and pulse quicken, your heart works harder, essentially giving your ticker a work-out each time you go for a soak.

• Cleanses your lungs

Breathing in the hot steam from the water can really help your lungs to decongest and soothe your sinuses, (especially if you add a few drops of eucalyptus oil).

• Relief from pain caused by tight muscles and arthritis

With that encouraged blood flow, oxygen and nutrients are travelling more quickly to problem areas inside your body (tight muscles, arthritic joints, etc.) and helping to relax and relieve the pain.

• Promotes deep sleep

Increasing your body temperature (especially just before bed) helps your body to transition quickly into deep sleep. No more counting sheep!

• Rejuvenates the skin

Soaking in hot water is great for your skin and even more so when you add a couple tablespoons of sea salt. It washes away dead skin and infuses your cells with moisture. It’s like a spa-day for your skin every time you soak in a hot tub!

• Reduces blood sugar levels

Studies show that soaking in hot water for 20-30 minutes a day can actually decrease your blood sugar levels.

Regardless of your age and activity-level, hydrotherapy is a convenient way to revitalize your body and your mind. Check out this great and easy to read infographic that a Lethbridge Hot Tub Store put together for your convenience.
