Sleeping well is not a luxury: sleep disorders have a major impact on everyday health. According to an article in the Canadian Sleep Society's journal Insomnia Round, sleeping less than 6 hours a night can affect the brain's ability ti plan, organize, be attentive, and develop strategies. About 40% of North Americans suffer from insomnia symptoms at different time of their lives. Spending time in a spa can be just what is needed. In addition to relaxation there is evidence that an early evening spa session improves the length an quality of sleep.
In a study published in the scientific journal sleep, researchers have found that immersion in hot water for 30 minutes, a few hours before going to bed, contributes to better quality sleep. Body temperature increases in the spa, then slowly decreases in the evening, This regulation helps to fall asleep faster, but also increases the quality of slow deep sleep during the night, which are critical periods when the body regenerates. Therefore, in order to sleep well, a good soak in a spa is recommended. In addition to promoting relaxation, it can also improve the length and quality of sleep.
Adults need to sleep on average 8 hours per night. Besides fatigue and sleepiness, extended lack of sleep is associated wit serious health problems such as depression and weight gain.
Cardiovascular Health
Nothing can replace a healthy and active lifestyle, but sometimes health issues or overly busy days can put a considerable strain on the body, and moments spent relaxing in a spa can be beneficial. They may even have positive effects on your cardiovascular health (with prior approval from your doctor) if you have heart problems or suffer from high blood pressure. According to Dr. Thomas G. Allison, taking a relaxing break in warm water of a spa may indeed be good for your heart, as the spa man simulate some aspects of exercise without the associated heart stress. A 10 minute hot bath may even be beneficial for people suffering from congestive heart failure.
In terms of heart health, sitting in hot water may also offer some of the same benefits as mediation. As part of a recently published stud in the International journal of Aquatic Research and Education, this phenomenon has been documented in participants who received 24 minute hot water sessions. The findings of this study show direct effects on the sympathovagal balance when the body is immersed in hot water. Specifically in addition to the benefits to brain activity, this phenomenon may bring a decrease in blood pressure cardiac irritability and anxiety.
The Benefits Of Reflexology
In traditional Chinese medicine, reflexology has the ability to prevent a lot of health-related problems. The beneficial affects of jet impulses on the plantar surface of the foot are attributable to the stimulation of specific reflex zones.
​
In Reflexology the foot is divided into numerous reflex zones, each corresponding to specific part of the human body. Reflexology consists of manipulating these Zoes to locate and alleviate tension and dysfunction, thus restoring the body's natural balance.
