I love coming home after a long day at the office and soaking in my hot tub! The relaxing benefits of this are immeasurable, releasing sore and tight muscles. The bubbling hot water washing away the stresses of the day.
Soaking in hot tubs is called hydrotherapy for those in the business of health and healing. They say the three main healing ingredients in hydro therapy are the heat, the buoyancy in the water and the massaging action of the water jets. The three together create an experience that is both healthy and quite relaxing. I have read that regular hydrotherapy can provide benefits that are both physical and emotional. I am amazed that something so pure and simple as water can accomplish this for us.
Soaking in my hot tub relieves my aching joints in cold weather, relaxes my strained muscles from over working them, puts me in a deep state of relaxation and thus giving me a better nights sleep. I have also noticed the number and frequency of headaches have decreased significantly since I began regular soaking in hot tubs. I understand this is due to the dilating effect the hot water has on the vascular system. The warm water massaging the body also releases endorphins and these naturally reduce your stress levels. I have also seen that the National Foundation for Sleep has stated that soaking in hot water such as a hot tub or hot bath before retiring to bed will make you fall asleep faster and have a better nights sleep.
I would never willingly give up my hot tub. Since I have had one I get much better nights sleep. I am able to relax and unwind more quickly after a stressful day in the office and have a general sense of just feeling better overall.
