Why does a hot bath relax me?

817 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.

I can relate. Hot baths are the best. It kind of reminds me of being tucked under a warm blanket.
