Promote Healing
Strong, well positioned water jets are crucial to the health giving benefits of the spa bath because they focus an intense flow of oxygen and heat to specific areas. The therapeutic combination increases your level of antibodies and white blood cells, which in turn promotes the destruction of bad cells and stimulates the growth of new tissue.

The hot water itself aids muscle relaxation thereby dulling muscular pain and helping rid the body of lactic acid andother metabolic waste. So those with conditions such as rheumatism, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or even paralysis, may find particular benefit.
Blood Pressure
As well as dealing with muscular aches and pains, your hot tub can also help reduce your blood pressure. Studies have shown using hot tub can reduce blood pressure. This is achieved through the body’s natural reaction to sudden increases in temperature. When you step into the hot tub, your body will attempt to maintain its core temperature by raising the heartrate and blood pressure in order to pump blood to the surface where it would normally be cooled. Because you are in the hot tub however, the blood is warmed instead, and as the warm blood circulates through your system, your blood vessels will dilate resulting in a reduction in blood pressure. In fact using a hot tub can mimic cardiac exercise!
