Why does a hot bath relax me?

823 views

I like to have hot baths, hot enough that they burn a bit when I get in. Afterwards I feel mentally and physically relaxed – I get the physical side, but what is it about the bath that slows my mind down and makes me feel relaxed? It only works when it’s very hot, had the same effect in a sauna.

Heat naturally helps eliminate inflammation and relaxes muscles. If your body is tense, your mind is likely to be also. Much easier to be mentally comfortable when you are physically comfortable.
