Bathing in warm water has been shown to have a therapeutic effect on your health:
• It cleanses your skin.
• It relaxes your muscles.
• It stimulates your metabolism.
• It boosts your blood supply.
• It enlarges your blood vessels.
• It helps with high blood pressure: thanks to the pleasant heat and varying pressure
of the water, regular deep baths can lower blood pressure over time.
• It calms the nervous system.
• Especially in combination with essential oils, it relieves the symptoms of colds or chronic
diseases like rheumatism.
• Regular relaxation in a bath gives us more energy and makes us better able to cope with
everyday stress and pressure.
If you have heart or circulatory problems you should not take deep baths. The same applies to a high temperature: to protect your circulatory system, do not take a bath if you have a high temperature due to illness.
How hot should a bath be? How long should one stay in the bath?
A hot bath should be no hotter than 38 degrees and you should stay in for no longer than 20 minutes. Bathing for longer or at higher temperatures will weaken your circulation. You will feel limp and tired. High temperatures are also bad for your skin, they dry it out. If you are a fan of deep baths, a bath thermometer could be a good investment.
When is the best time for a bath?
Generally, if you feel the need for a little down-time in the bath, you should treat yourself to a nice deep one, regardless of the time of day. A bath is also a good idea just before you go to bed: after bathing, your body is relaxed and pleasantly warm, so a bath is the ideal sleeping aid.
What should one be careful of after bathing?
After bathing, you should get your circulation going again slowly. So don't get out of the bath too quickly. If you have problems with your blood pressure, you can get your circulation going by pouring cold water on your legs or feet. Your skin will enjoy some moisturising cream. Immediately after your bath, don't plunge straight back into your daily business but take some time to recover a little.
