Benefits Found At A Hot Springs Lodge

By Chloe Gib


There are many benefits touted from the warm mineral waters that make a hot springs lodge so enjoyable, relaxing, and healthy. Not only does it improve basic body functions, it is extremely relaxing and relieves much stress. The minerals dissolved and temperature of the water varies with the area and depth of water under the rocks. As the water flows up, it dissolves whatever minerals are in the rocks through which it flows. The deeper the level from which it starts from, the hotter it will be on the surface.

Staying at hot springs cabins means you have ready access to the benefits being sought. Whether you just want to relax, or are there for health benefits, ready access without a long drive is important. You want to just step out at early morning, or any time of day, and have access to a dip in warm mineral waters. You can enjoy many health benefits of hot mineral waters when staying at an Arkansas lake cabin.

You can get lowered blood pressure. When you soak in hot water, your heart rate increases and your blood pressure decrease. The blood vessels dilate from the heat of the water, and this in turn lowers your blood pressure. This increase in blood flow due to the hot water helps eliminate undesirable toxins.

Sleep better after a soak. Hot water over 100 degrees causes the body to relax and thus helps sleep. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it does work. The increased temperature may be a signal to the body that it is time to go to sleep.

You can improve your joint mobility. People suffering from arthritis get relief from heated water. Both the heat and buoyancy helps increase mobility without pain. As the buoyancy allows freer movement, and the heat relieves the pain, joint mobility is increased.

Get rid of toxins with the added heat. When the body sweats, it eliminates some toxins. The heat of the water causes excessive sweating, getting this benefit. You get more benefit when you add herbs and essential oils. Also, they are better absorbed with the increase in temperature.

Other benefits from staying at a hot springs lodge and its warm mineral waters include the fact that germs and viruses are killed when the body heat increases. Blood flow is also increased, increasing the metabolism. Minerals from the water are absorbed as well, boosting the immune system and relaxing body and mind. Endorphin is increased, making the person feel much better. Glandular system function, including the endocrine system, are enhanced, helping in digestion and improving some diseases.
