Improves Hair Growth
If a person has thinning hair, one of the alternative treatment options is to immerse in hot tubs. It may seem impossible to reverse thinning hair fully, but regular dips in a hot tub can improve the health of hair follicles which can also stimulate hair growth. When immersing into a hot tub neck-deep in the water, the brain recognizes the warmth enveloping the body. Once it registers, the body begins to respond by slowly increasing internal temperature. One of the benefits of the body responding to warmth is improved blood circulation. Improved blood circulation supplies more nutrients and oxygen to different body organs. When the hair follicles receive enough nourishment from the blood, they become healthier and stimulate to grow hair. Regular dips in hot tubs will lead to more robust and better-looking hair.
However, it is necessary to note that hydrotherapy in relation to stimulating hair growth will only work if there aren’t high levels of chlorine in the water. Chlorine dries the skin and causes blockages in the pores and follicles, affecting hair growth. Health experts also recommend adding a few drops of essential oil for other health benefits.
