Have you ever wished you could come home from work and head straight to your very own outdoor spa? Most of us have and for good reason. Not only does a dip in the spa make you feel good and relaxed, but there are many health benefits that make a good case for investing in an outdoor spa.
Health Benefits of Owning an Outdoor Spa
Hot tub therapy has been used for its amazing health benefits for centuries. This therapy is offered by many exclusive spas, hotels and physical therapists. But an outdoor spa in your own backyard provides convenience and consistency for optimum results.
Here are a few ways that an outdoor spa can improve your health:
1) Provide Stress Relief
In today’s fast-paced environment, who doesn’t need stress relief? Whether your body is physically stressed, you’re mentally exhausted or it’s been an emotional day, a hot tub can do wonders. Hot tubs are known to decrease mental and physical stress while also easing feelings of anxiety.
2) Ease Muscle Soreness and Tension
Everyone experiences sore muscles from time to time. Soaking in a hot tub is an excellent way to ease sore, aching muscles. It can help your tight, tense muscles relax and increase the blood flow to muscles and other organs. It may even help reduce excess lactic acid, the source for most of the soreness in your muscles. Try soaking in a hot tub before strenuous activity and again a while after you complete it.
3) Help You Sleep Better
Who couldn’t use better sleep? Your body naturally lowers its temperature at night while you sleep. Soaking in a hut tub for 15 to 20 minutes (or more if you want!) before going to bed will raise your body temperature a degree or two. Then when your body begins to bring its temperature down, the overall effect will relax you into a deep sleep.
4) Detoxification
Looking for a natural way to detox your body? Soaking in a hot tub may be just what you’re looking for. It raises your body temperature causing you to sweat out toxins. It also increases your blood flow. Before stepping into the tub, scrub your skin with a coarse washcloth to remove dead skin. While in the tub,, stretch your muscles and relax. Remember to drink plenty of water.
5) Increase Bouancy
When your muscles are sore and achy, the constant strain on your muscles and joints from gravity is painful. Submerging your body in water reduces the effects of gravity by nearly 90%. This tremendous easing of the load on your joints and muscles helps reduce inflammation and improves relaxation.
Soak in the Hot Tub for Health
