Using a Hot Tub to Get Over a Cold - Benefit 2 - Don’t sit on the couch, sit in the hot tub!
March 15/2020

What’s the number one thing that everyone does when they are sick? You spend your day (or week) lounging on the couch. You have to pry yourself up to get a drink or even go to the bathroom. Sometimes illnesses can keep you down for days, with no energy and extremely sore muscles. As you could imagine, sitting on the house for that long can really do a number on your joints, muscles, and alignment. So get off the couch and get in the hot tub!

Look at Your Hot Tub as the Ultimate Healer!
Hot tubs can relieve all kinds of pains, whether it’s in your back, legs, arms, neck, feet, shoulders, or hips and everything in between! There is no pain that a hot tub cannot relieve you of, even arthritis! So why at this important time, when you are beaten down with an illness, do you not look at your hot tub in this light? It can do so much for you!

Soak Up the Benefits Your Spa has to Offer!
Just a quick soak for 15-20 minutes can provide you hours of relief. The hot water will open up your blood vessels and cause a much needed burst of blood flow to help boost your immune system. The steam from the 100 – 104 degree water will also soften your nose and bring relief from the irritation of wiping it all the time as it runs. By adding a small amount of fragrance to the water, you also can have the aromatherapy action such as a cleansing eucalyptus or peppermint, which are natural scents built into or designed around many cold medicines! These scents allow you to breathe much easier, which is very important when you have a cold and are stopped up.

Speed Up the Healing Process!
It’s very important to not sit on the couch, feeling miserable for yourself for days or even weeks! It is much better for your body to spend the time in the hot tub, soaking up the benefits of hot water therapy, than it is sitting on your couch. It’s recommended to go for 15-20 min soaks every few hours to speed up the process of getting rid of your cold and relieve body aches. The goal is to keep your body temp elevated comfortably to help ward off your illness. The hot water can provide a “natural fever” for your body to help overcome your sickness. This happens by raising your body level up on a regular basis, which tricks your body into thinking that there is another virus or bacteria trying to invade your body and causes more antibodies to be made that actually ward off your current sickness! A Marquis Spa will help speed up the process, guaranteed!
