Stress Relief & Hot Tubs
Relaxation Can Save Your Life
Refresh yourself and relieve the stress and tension of your life by soaking in your Bullfrog Spa. Relaxation in the warm water of your hot tub is caused by the release of a hormone, dopamine. Dopamine is released by the parasympathetic system in our bodies to combat the effects of harmful stress. Scientific evidence shows that immersing yourself in hot water relieves muscle tension and reduces stress and that managing stress effectively increases our chances for a happy and healthy life.* While some stress is natural and is a normal survival instinct, a problem arises when there is too much stress occurring too frequently. Combat stress in just minutes a day by relaxing in hot water with helpful massaging JetPaks.
What is Stress?
It’s safe to say that everybody has it, yet nobody really wants it. Stress has been blamed as a cause or contributor for many ailments, from infertility to severe illness, but more common symptoms are headaches, sore muscles, anxiety and fatigue.
The American Heart Association warns about the negative affects that stress can have on your heart and the way that can make you feel. In their article, “How Can I Manage Stress?” one of the recommendations for stress relief is to take 15 to 20 minutes a day to sit quietly, breathe deeply, and think of a peaceful picture.
There is no better place to sit, relax, and to contemplate peaceful things than in a Bullfrog Spa. A combination of heated water, weightless buoyancy, and soothing jets massage your stress away. While sitting in a Bullfrog Spa, your blood vessels will dilate making it easier for your heart to pump, improving blood flow and circulation. Stress relief is only seconds away when you slide into your Bullfrog Hot Tub. Join the thousands of people who have discovered this ancient secret of hydrotherapy and relaxation.
