Hydrotherapy offers more than just recreational value


Research has shown that relaxing in a hot tub can help treat conditions such as insomnia, arthritis and even diabetes. A study published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine reports that patients suffering from type 2 diabetes can expect a reduction in blood sugar levels after just thirty minutes a day in a hot tub spa, six days a week. In addition to the physical benefits patients in the study also reported a reduction in insomnia and even an improved sense of well being. These days three out of four adults report trouble sleeping. A lack of sleep can affect brain function, cognitive ability and in chronic cases of sleep deprivation, hallucinations and dementia can occur. Insomnia can now be treated with the calming effects of hydrotherapy, without the use of over the counter sleep aids or prescription medications. Hot tubs have been proven to be much more than entertainment. For healthy, natural relaxation and rejuvenation consider a home spa.
