Benefit From 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.

You get these benefits at your finger tips when you stay at a hot springs cabin. If you want to relax, or you are seeking health benefits, you are right there without engaging in a long drive. Get up, step out of your cabin, and you have ready access to the warm mineral waters. An Arkansas lake cabin allows you easy access to all these benefits of the warm mineral waters.

Lower your blood pressure with a soak in hot water. It increases the heart rate and decreases the blood pressure. Blood vessels dilate with extra heat, which lowers the blood pressure. Increased blood flow due to the increased heart rate allows toxins to be expelled.

A benefit is to be able to sleep better. Soaking in heated water at just over 100 degrees helps the body to relax and rest well in sleep. It is not understood exactly why, just that it works. It may be that the increased temperature signals that it is time to sleep.

Improve joint mobility with a soak. Sufferers from arthritis often enjoy relief from heated water. The heat and buoyancy help with mobility, but relieve pain. As the joint becomes more mobile from the buoyancy and the pain decreases from the heat, mobility is made better.

The excess heat causes sweating, eliminating bodily toxins through the sweat. Adding herbs and essential oils can increase the benefit, enabling better absorption of these beneficial elements because of the heated environment.

There are many different ways the mineral waters at a hot springs lodge helps to heal. The increased body heat kills harmful germs and viruses. Blood flow is also increased, as is the metabolism. Absorption of minerals from the waters increase benefits to the immune system, physical and mental relaxation is enhanced and production of endorphin helps give a feel-good feeling. Improved function of glandular systems, especially endocrine glands, helps the body's digestion and improves some diseases, it is claimed.
