Shower
A hot shower not only feels good, but it can also be beneficial to your health. The key is not to stay in there too long, as it can dry out your skin. But five to 10 minutes under hot water can work wonders for your body, muscles, joints, and overall mood.
Improve Circulation
Hot water can treat muscular and joint pain associated with arthritis, muscle tears, and muscle overuse. The warmth stimulates circulation and blood flow while loosening joints, tendons, tissues, and muscles. While it may not cure the pain for good, five minutes under hot water can considerably ease pain, stimulate healing, and reduce inflammation. It’s more convenient than a massage and more natural than medical treatments.
Cleanse the Skin
Clogged pores can lead to blemishes and a buildup of toxins in the skin. Hot water and steam open the pores on your skin, making it easier to clean and release impurities. Following with a cold water rinse will close the pores again and make your skin feel refreshed.
