Increased body temperature helps you fall asleep faster and experience fewer sleep disorders all night without having to resort to commercial sleep products.

3. Reduce pain and accelerate healing

A good bath is especially beneficial for people who are recovering from knees, back, or other common issues. It provides pain relief for those with skeletal problems such as arthritis and tendinitis carpal syndrome. The heat increases blood circulation, relaxes muscle tension and reduces joint inflammation. Many people feel greater strength, flexibility, and range of motion. In some cases, hot tubs allow users to return to a normal daily routine that was previously based on pain or another discomfort. When used at the right time, heat from the water in a hot tub can also reduce muscle cramps associated with sports injuries.

4. Lower blood sugar

Initial research has shown that time in a hot tub can lower blood sugar levels in patients who are type 2 diabetics. Subjects who spent half an hour in a hot tub for six days a week for three weeks experienced a drop in blood sugar levels from 182 mg/dl to 159 mg/dl on average and noticed an increased sense of well-being. The water temperature in a hot tub mimics the effects of exercise, which has proven to be beneficial for those suffering from type 2 diabetes.

5. Lower blood pressure

The water temperature in a hot tub also causes your heart to work more to disperse excess heat. The body responds by increasing blood flow and producing extra oxygen, which renews the cells. As your body gets warmer, your cells widen, lower the resistance to your heart. This, in turn, causes your blood pressure to start to drop. And increasing your heart rate while lowering your blood pressure provides benefits to your cardiovascular health.

6. Promotes healthier skin

Increased circulation from the use of the spa delivers oxygen and important nutrients to your skin, leaving it with a healthy and youthful glow.

7. Reduce tension headaches and migraines

Some reports suggest that time in the hot tub can help prevent the occurrence of certain types of chronic headaches. Since the muscles remain loose while being submerged, your body is more relaxed and less tense in general. This reduces the risk of another throbbing headache triggered by tension. Vascular dilatation along with the warm effects of the hot tub water can also relieve the pain associated with such headaches. Relaxing in a steaming hot tub is a great way to deal with the congestion associated with certain types of headaches and promote respiratory health by opening the airways in your sinuses and lungs.
