A Hot Tub Can Help Improve Headaches And Migraines
With hot tubs, it’s important to understand that most science-based evidence doesn’t present any harmful heath effects. Naturally, overdoing it in a hot tub isn’t going to be good for anyone, but overall, the evidence demonstrates no negative effects after a 10-minute soak. In fact, studies do show that body pains, headaches and even migraines can benefit from the moderate hot tub use.For those who suffer from tension headaches, a hot tub soak can actually be good. These types of headaches usually stem from muscle tightness in various parts of the body, and that tightness can cause headache pain or neck pain. Soaking in a hot tub, with the powerful water jets stimulating the muscles in the back and neck, allows for muscle relaxation and serves to ease headache pain. For those who struggle with migraines, a hot tub soak can provide a good dose of stress relief and a good night’s sleep, both of which are of great benefit. Needless to say, migraine treatment must be doctor-monitored, although there is little argument about the therapeutic benefits of soaking in the hot tub. Additionally, it’s very important not to overdo the temperature or soaking time.
