let’s talk about some amazing benefits of  simply taking a hot bath and i’m talking about  

temperature 40 degrees celsius or a 104 degree  fahrenheit for 30 minutes the biggest benefit  

is anxiety and depression there’s several studies  that i’m going to put down below that back this up  

but if you have anxiety or depression this simple  thing can greatly help you and that is because  

number one it’s going to lower cortisol cortisol  is a stress hormone less stress less anxiety  

number two higher levels of serotonin serotonin  is the happy hormone it’s a hormone that helps you  

feel calm it gives you a sense of well-being and  if you have that you’re gonna have less anxiety  

and definitely less depression number three it’s  gonna improve your sleep you’re gonna get a much  

deeper sleep so what happens is this heat actually  relaxes you so when you sleep your melatonin  

actually causes your body to get a little cooler  and so by raising the heat before you go to bed  

you get a rebound effect or a resetting effect  and you actually become a little colder and your  

body will get a much better sleep when it’s on the  colder side try to sleep when you have a hot flash  

it doesn’t work right all right number four  your muscles are going to feel very relaxed  

one thing that i recommend is taking epsom  salts magnesium to your bath and lemon balm oil  

which is very very relaxing and calming people  take this as a t or a supplement it will help  

you decrease chronic pain and stiffness now one  contraindication would be if you have acute pain  

let’s say you’re in a recent injury and you  have swelling taking a hot bath might not be  

the best thing to do you want to put cold on  that injury like a cold pack ice would be best  

but for chronic pain stiffness great you’re gonna  have more flexibility number six it can help you  

lower your blood pressure because it increases  nitric oxide which actually is a vasodilator  

now on the flip side if you have heart  pain like angina pain or chest pain  

not a good idea to take a hot bath and one more  contraindication if you if you get lightheaded  

easily and you take this hot bath right and  let’s say for example the heat increases all  

the circulation you have blood in the muscles and  then you stand up and you get really dizzy because  

you don’t your body isn’t adapting to that that  well so you don’t want to be fainting and then  

injure yourself number seven it has the  ability to potentially help stabilize your  

insulin levels i found some interesting research  on that i put a link down below and number eight  

it can enhance your immunity because you’re  in inducing a fever if you have an infection  

a viral infection or even a bacterial infection  and you keep your body really really warm to the  

point where you’re sweating or you take a hot  bath you’re going to help kill off pathogens  

so inducing a fever is a very good thing and  then you climb in bed and you wear a lot of  

clothes and you just sweat all right there  you have it the eight benefits of a hot bath
