Hot tubs, which are also known as spas or jacuzzis, use heated water (typically between 100-104°F) combined with jets to create a therapeutic environment. The combination of warm water immersion and massaging jets helps relax your muscles and joints. It is believed that by raising core body temperatures, soaking in hot water can help lower blood pressure, stimulate the immune system and, over time, improve the body's response to heat stress. Moreover, those effects can last beyond the minutes spent directly in heat treatment.
