One of the most beautiful things in the world is to go home exhausted and take a hot shower. To feel the hot water flowing over you, to take away all your fatigue and negative energy and to relax.
There are of course the fans of the cold bath, which also clearly has its positives, but no matter how we do it, the hot one prevails.
A warm bath is what you need to help you deal with the symptoms of colds and flu and feel better quickly.
According to experts, a warm bath helps you in many ways:
Increases blood circulation in your body and helps the heart work better.
It causes sweating and toxins are removed.
Helps reduce blood sugar levels, while helping you burn more calories.
Relieves muscle pain, relaxes cramped muscles and fights muscle fatigue.
It soothes your headaches and migraines, as it decompresses the blood vessels of the brain.
It helps you deal with the symptoms of the common cold, as on the one hand it acts as a decongestant on the cold, while on the other hand it reduces the persistent cough.
It relaxes the body and reduces the rhythm of breathing, thus ensuring a deep and restful sleep.
It calms you down and banishes all the stress and anxiety of the day from you. After a warm bath you are sure to feel better about yourself.
Extra tips to turn your hot shower into a real spa.
During your bath, you can add some extra things, in addition to your shower gel, which in combination with the steam of hot water, will soothe and relax you.
Essential oils. The most well-known tip to help you with runny nose, shortness of breath and cough is eucalyptus essential oil. We use it even in children and it is super effective. Also, the essential oils – depending on their properties – will help you with headaches, muscle aches and will relax you.
Salts. Bath salts or known “bombs” are very helpful as well. You throw them on the floor of the shower and they are activated with hot water or you throw them directly in your bathtub. Try these with the scent of lavender, chamomile, lemon or eucalyptus and you will go crazy. Also, you can try to make your own and do whatever combination you want.
Vicks tablets. It is the well-known medicine for everything and now it is also available in tablets, to put them in your bathroom. It releases this characteristic smell of menthol and camphor, which will help you decongest your nasal system, while also helping you with a cough.
Shower gels with essential oils. If you do not want to get into these procedures and you want something fast and effective, use lavender and eucalyptus shower gels for colds, while for relaxation and relief from physical pain, choose milder scents.
