Effects of thermal action
Taking a bath warms you up and relieves fatigue. Skin capillaries widen and blood flow improves, eliminating waste and fatigue substances in the body, relieving stiffness and relaxing the body.
Buoyancy effect
お風呂に首までつかってプカプカしていると、体重は約９分の1程度になります。普段当たり前のように支えている筋肉や関節は重さから解放されて安らぐことができます。
Hydrostatic pressure effect
Even in the bath, the water pressure makes you squeal as you enter the bath. This water pressure is enough to reduce your waist by 3 cm to 6 cm, creating a gentle massage effect on the entire body. The pressure pushes the blood back into the legs, stimulating the heart and improving blood circulation.
What temperature is best? Find the right temperature for you!
Although the comfortable bath temperature varies from person to person, you can know your optimal temperature by using your body temperature as a guide. When the temperature is lukewarm, add 2 to 3 degrees to your body temperature based on your normal body temperature, and when the temperature is hot, add 5 to 6 degrees. Generally, it is considered to be about 42 degrees Celsius.
Half-body or full-body bathing?
Both baths have their merits and there is no right answer, but a full-body bath is recommended for those who want to warm up in a short time because it warms up quickly and relieves fatigue. Half-body bathing is effective for swollen feet and is less stressful on the body, so you can soak in the water longer. Be aware that the upper body can get cold depending on the season.
summary
Even if you are busy, it is good to soak in a bath and feel relieved. It would be nice if you could enjoy using various bath salts, reading books, and reviewing your bathing experience.
