Water Therapy – A Great Natural Treatment of Stress
Here are another stress management tips I want to share to you today. It is collectively called hydrotherapy or water therapy.
First is the warm water therapy. A lukewarm bath for 15 minutes in a tub or hot spring will do a lot in relaxing your muscles that were tensed and nervous system that was highly excited while you are facing a stressful situation. This will be more effective if you add more or less 8 drops of lavender or rosemary essence in your hot bath. A hot shower is a good alternative for this.
Sauna is another great place for stress management. Spending 30-45 minutes on sauna produce relaxation and has purifying effect on the body. It helps in eliminating waste substances through the skin and your organs to function well.
Sauna helps a lot in combating stress if you take a cold shower every 15 minutes throughout the session.
Third is salt water therapy or thalassotherapy. Yes, swimming at the beach is a good way of stress management. It can also stimulate the metabolism and aids the internal secretion glands to function well. Adding bath salt to your lukewarm water bath is an alternative for this.
