Warm Bath
Warm baths are beneficial to the body. It can make blood flow easier, making the blood more oxygenated. It can also reduce pain and inflammation in the nervous system. These benefits are all helpful in reducing symptoms of neuropathy, like numbness and painful sensation in the body.
Patients with neuropathy testify that warm baths help their muscles to relax, alleviating pain and numbness. The warmth of the water soothes the body’s sensory nerves. High-temperature baths are beneficial to the nerves since it causes the blood vessels to dilate. The dilatation of blood vessels may improve and increase blood flow, prompting the blood to lower its pressure.
Taking a warm bath can lead to better circulation. This will help prevent severe destruction of the nerves. By improving circulation, it directs the nerves to strengthen and avoid impairment.
However, patients should be careful in warm baths, for a body affected with neuropathy cannot sense temperature. An unsupervised warm bath may lead to burns, skin damage, and other unfortunate incidents.
